Rule 760IAC1-5.1. Credit Life Insurance; Credit Accident and Health Insurance |
Section 760IAC1-5.1-4. Determination of reasonableness of benefits in relation to premium charge
-
(a) Benefits provided by consumer credit insurance policies must be reasonable in relation to the premium charged. This requirement is satisfied if the premium rate charged develops or may reasonably be expected to develop a loss ratio of not less than fifty-five percent (55%). With the exception of deviations approved under section 10 of this rule, the rates shown in sections 6 and 7 of this rule, as adjusted pursuant to section 9 of this rule, shall be presumed to satisfy this loss ratio standard. Anticipated losses that develop or are expected to develop a loss ratio of not less than fifty-five percent (55%) shall be presumed reasonable. Any insurer filing a deviation in accordance with section 10 of this rule must satisfy the fifty-five percent (55%) loss ratio standard for their total consumer credit insurance business.
(b) If any insurer files for approval of any form providing coverage different than that described in sections 6 and 7 of this rule, the insurer shall demonstrate to the satisfaction of the commissioner that the premium rates to be charged for such coverage are:
(1) reasonably expected to develop a loss ratio of not less than fifty-five percent (55%); or
(2) actuarially consistent with the rates used for standard coverages.
