Study Notes

Insurance Policy Provisions

Insuring Clause: Describes the type of benefits and the conditions for payment; not primarily about the free-look period.
Required Provisions: Change of occupation is not mandatory for accident and health insurance policies.
Premium Changes: Only premium rates can be altered in a guaranteed renewable policy.

Policy Benefits and Provisions

Waiver of Premium Provision: Maintains policy coverage without premium payments if the insured becomes totally disabled.
Grace Period: Policies requiring quarterly payments have a 31-day grace period.
Legal Action Provision: Limits time to initiate legal actions regarding claims to 5 years.

Claims and Payments

Claims Disputes: Addressed under the legal actions provision.
Unpaid Premiums: Claims may be reduced by outstanding premium amounts, covered by the unpaid premium provision.
Filing Proof of Loss: Insurer must provide claim forms within 15 days after receiving a notice of claim; benefits are payable immediately after proof of loss.

Policy Types

Renewability Options:
- A noncancellable policy never allows premium increases.
- An optionally renewable policy can only be renewed at the insurer's discretion.
- A conditionally renewable policy can be terminated for non-health reasons.
Cancelation Notification: A cancelable policy permits the insurer to notify termination mid-term.

Coverage Coordination

Coordination of Benefits: Ensures proper payment distribution between primary and secondary insurers when there's a claim.

Exclusions and Adjustments

Common Exclusions: Physical therapy is generally not excluded from medical expense policies.
Misstatement of Age Provision: Allows for benefits adjustment based on inaccuracies in age provided at application.

Special Clauses

Optional Renewability Clause: Gives insurers the right to end coverage at any policy anniversary.
"No Loss No Gain" Laws: Require replacing policies to cover ongoing claims from the original policy.

Key Claim Scenarios

Claims reduced by past-due premiums exemplify the importance of the unpaid premium provision, affecting both David and Craig in specific claims.
