Study Notes
Insurance Policy Types
- An optionally renewable policy can only be renewed at the insurance company's discretion.
- A guaranteed renewable policy assures renewal under specified conditions, while a noncancellable policy guarantees that premiums will not increase during the policy term.
Claims Processing
- Insurers must provide claimants with forms for proof of loss within 15 days of receiving a notice of claim.
- Coordination of benefits in group health care determines payments between primary and secondary insurers during a claim.
Insuring Clauses
- Insuring clauses outline benefits provided, conditions for payment, and the scope and limits of coverage.
- Common exclusions in medical expense policies often include acts of war, on-the-job injuries, and self-inflicted injuries, but physical therapy is typically not excluded.
Disability Insurance Provisions
- The change of occupation provision allows insurers to adjust benefits and rates when an insured takes on a more hazardous job.
- Policies may be cancelable, meaning the insurer can cancel them midway through the term by sending a notice.
Contract Components
- The entire insurance contract consists of the actual policy document alongside the application filled out by the insured.
Grace Periods
- The grace period for a health insurance policy where premium payments are missed is typically 10 days, providing a buffer for policyholders.
