Bulletin 145

Indiana Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Association

Disclaimer

IC 27-8-8-18 requires the Indiana Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Association (ILHIGA) to prepare a summary document for the Commissioner's approval. The summary document must describe the general purposes and current limitations of IC 27-8-8 and contain specific information as stated in IC 27-8-8-18(c). The ILHIGA has made the required filing, and the summary document has been approved by the Commissioner. The text of the summary document is attached to this Bulletin as an Exhibit.

Effective April 7, 2007, the ILHIGA member insurers may not deliver a policy or contract to a policy or contract owner unless the summary document is delivered to the policy or contract owner at the time of delivery of the policy or contract. The summary document must also be available upon request by a policy or contract owner. The distribution, delivery, or contents or interpretation of the summary document does not guarantee that the policy or contract or the owner of the policy or contract is covered in the event of the impairment or insolvency of a member insurer. The summary document must be revised by the ILHIGA in the event an amendment to IC 27-8-8 requires. Failure to receive the summary document does not give a policy owner, a contract owner, a certificate holder, or an insured greater rights than the rights specified in IC 27-8-8.
