Ins 3.39 APPENDIX 1
For policies with an effective date prior to June 1, 2010 the following information shall be inserted prior to each outline of coverage provided to an insured and include the information specific to the plan type.
PREMIUM INFORMATION
We can only raise your premium if we raise the premium for all policies like yours in this state. [Include information specifying when premiums will change.]
If your policy was issued as an under age 65 policy due to disability, when you turn 65 premiums will remain at the disabled rates. [Include this statement within premium information when issuer does not change premium to age 65 rate.]
DISCLOSURES
Use this outline to compare benefits and premiums among policies.
READ YOUR POLICY VERY CAREFULLY
This is only an outline describing your policy's most important features. The policy is your insurance contract. You must read the policy itself to understand all of the rights and duties of both you and your insurance company.
RIGHT TO RETURN POLICY
If you find that you are not satisfied with your policy, you may return it to (insert issuer's address). If you send the policy back to us within 30 days after you receive it, we will treat the policy as if it had never been issued and return all your payments directly to you.
POLICY REPLACEMENT
If you are replacing another health insurance policy, do NOT cancel it until you have actually received your new policy and are sure you want to keep it.
NOTICE
This policy may not fully cover all of your medical costs.
(1) The outline of coverage for a Medicare cost policy as described in s.
600.03 (28p) a. and c., Stats., shall contain the following language: Medicare cost policy: This policy provides basic Medicare hospital and physician benefits. It also includes benefits beyond those provided by Medicare. This policy is a replacement for Medicare and is subject to certain limitations in choice of providers and area of service. The policy does not provide benefits for custodial care such as help in walking, getting in and out of bed, eating, dressing, bathing, and taking medicine.
