Section 687B.0685 - Offer of nonforfeiture benefit required

1. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 2, an insurer shall not deliver or issue for delivery in this State a long-term care insurance contract or certificate unless the policyholder or certificate holder has been offered the option to purchase a long-term care insurance contract or certificate that includes a nonforfeiture benefit.

3. If an insurer offers a group long-term care insurance contract to a group described in subsection 4 of NAC 687B.025, other than a continuing-care retirement community or other similar entity, the offer required by subsection 1 must be made to each certificate holder.
