R.C.S.A. § 38a-495a-13
Required disclosure provisions
Cite as Conn. Agencies Regs. § 38a-495a-13
(a) General Rules.
(1) Medicare supplement policies and certificates shall include a renewal or continuation
provision. The language or specifications of such provision shall be consistent with
the type of contract issued. Such provision shall be appropriately captioned and shall
appear on the first page of the policy, and shall include any reservation by the issuer
of the right to change premiums and any automatic renewal premium increases based
on the policyholder’s age.
(2) Except for riders or endorsements by which the issuer effectuates a request made in
writing by the insured, exercises a specifically reserved right under a Medicare supplement
policy, or is required to reduce or eliminate benefits to avoid duplication of Medicare
benefits, all riders or endorsements added to a Medicare supplement policy after date
of issue or at reinstatement or renewal which reduce or eliminate benefits or coverage
in the policy shall require a signed acceptance by the insured. After the date of
policy or certificate issue, any rider or endorsement which increases benefits or
coverage with a concomitant increase in premium during the policy term shall be agreed
to in writing signed by the insured, unless the benefits are required by the minimum
standards for Medicare supplement policies, or if the increased benefits or coverage
is required by law. Where a separate additional premium is charged for benefits provided
in connection with riders or endorsements, such premium charge shall be set forth
in the policy.
(3) Medicare supplement policies or certificates shall not provide for the payment of
benefits based on standards described as "usual and customary," "reasonable and customary"
or words of similar import.
(4) If a Medicare supplement policy or certificate contains any limitations with respect
to preexisting conditions, such limitations shall appear as a separate paragraph of
the policy and be labeled as "Preexisting Condition Limitations."
(5) Medicare supplement policies and certificates shall have a notice prominently printed
on the first page of the policy or certificate or attached thereto stating in substance
that the policyholder or certificateholder shall have the right to return the policy
or certificate within thirty (30) days of its delivery and to have the premium refunded
if, after examination of the policy or certificate, the insured person is not satisfied
for any reason.
(6) (A) Issuers of accident and sickness policies or certificates which provide hospital
or medical expense coverage on an expense incurred or indemnity basis to persons eligible
for Medicare shall provide to those applicants a Guide to Health Insurance for People
with Medicare in the form developed jointly by the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and in a type size no
smaller than 12 point type. Delivery of the Guide shall be made whether or not such
policies or certificates are advertised, solicited or issued as Medicare supplement
policies or certificates as defined in this regulation. Except in the case of direct
response issuers, delivery of the Guide shall be made to the applicant at the time
of application and acknowledgement of receipt of the Guide shall be obtained by the
issuer. Direct response issuers shall deliver the Guide to the applicant upon request
but not later than at the time the policy is delivered.
(B) For the purposes of this section, "form" means the language, format, type size, type
proportional spacing, bold character, and line spacing.
(b) Notice Requirements.
(1) As soon as practicable, but no later than thirty (30) days prior to the annual effective
date of any Medicare benefit changes, an issuer shall notify its policyholders and
certificateholders of modifications it has made to Medicare supplement insurance policies
or certificates in a format acceptable to the commissioner. Such notice shall:
(A) Include a description of revisions to the Medicare program and a description of each
modification made to the coverage provided under the Medicare supplement policy or
certificate, and;
(B) Inform each policyholder or certificateholder as to when any premium adjustment is
to be made due to changes in Medicare.
(2) The notice of benefit modifications and any premium adjustments shall be in outline
form and in clear and simple terms so as to facilitate comprehension.
(3) Such notices shall not contain or be accompanied by any solicitation.
(c) MMA Notice Requirements.Issuers shall comply with any notice requirements of the Medicare Prescription Drug,
Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003.
(d) Outline of Coverage Requirements for Medicare Supplement Policies.
(1) Issuers shall provide an outline of coverage to all applicants at the time application
is presented to the prospective applicant and, except for direct response policies,
shall obtain an acknowledgement of receipt of such outline from the applicant, and;
(2) If an outline of coverage is provided at the time of application and the Medicare
supplement policy or certificate is issued on a basis which would require revision
of the outline, a substitute outline of coverage properly describing the policy or
certificate shall accompany such policy or certificate when it is delivered and contain
the following statement, in no less than twelve (12) point type, immediately above
the company name:
"NOTICE: Read this outline of coverage carefully. It is not identical to the outline
of coverage provided upon application and the coverage originally applied for has
not been issued."
(3) The outline of coverage provided to applicants pursuant to this section consists of
four parts: a cover page, premium information, disclosure pages, and charts displaying
the features of each benefit plan offered by the issuer. The outline of coverage shall
be in the language and format prescribed below in no less than twelve (12) point type.
All plans shall be shown on the cover page, and the plan(s) that are offered by the
issuer shall be prominently identified. Premium information for plans that are offered
shall be shown on the cover page or immediately following the cover page and shall
be prominently displayed. The premium and mode shall be stated for all plans that
are offered to the prospective applicant. All possible premiums for the prospective
applicant shall be illustrated.
(4) The following items shall be included in the outline of coverage in the order prescribed
below.
PREMIUM INFORMATION
We (insert issuer’s name) can only raise your premium if we raise the premium for
all policies like yours in this state.
DISCLOSURES
Use this outline to compare benefits and premiums among policies.
This outline shows benefits and premiums for policies sold for effective dates on
or after June 1, 2010. Policies sold for effective dates prior to June 1, 2010 have
different benefits and premiums. Plans E, H, I, and J are no longer available for
sale. (This paragraph shall not appear after June 1, 2011.)
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 our 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 of your
payments.
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.
(for agents)
Neither (insert company’s name) nor its agents are connected with Medicare.
(for direct response:)
(insert company’s name) is not connected with Medicare.
This outline of coverage does not give all the details of Medicare coverage. Contact
your local Social Security Office or consult The Medicare & You handbook for more
details.
COMPLETE ANSWERS ARE VERY IMPORTANT
When you fill out the application for the new policy, be sure to answer truthfully
and completely all questions about your medical and health history. The company may
cancel your policy and refuse to pay any claims if you leave out or falsify important
medical information. (If the policy or certificate is guaranteed issue, this paragraph
need not appear.)
Review the application carefully before you sign it. Be certain that all information
has been properly recorded.
(Include for each plan prominently identified in the cover page, a chart showing the
services, Medicare payments, plan payments and insured payments for each plan, using
the same language, in the same order, using uniform layout and format as shown in
the charts below. No more than four plans may be shown on one chart. For purposes
of illustration, charts for each plan are included in this regulation. An issuer may
use additional benefit plan designations on these charts pursuant to section 38a-495a-6a(d)
of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies. For purposes of illustration, the
charts below display in parentheses dollar amounts that vary in accordance with the
Medicare program. Issuers shall revise such dollar amounts as necessary to ensure
that outlines of coverage contain information that is current at the time the outlines
are provided to consumers.)
(Include an explanation of any innovative benefits on the cover page and in the chart,
in a manner approved by the commissioner.)
(Illustrative charts follow)

* Plan F also has an option called a high deductible plan F. This high deductible
plan pays the same benefits as plan F after one has paid a calendar year ($2000) deductible.
Benefits from high deductible plan F will not begin until out-of-pocket expenses exceed
($2000). Out-of-pocket expenses for this deductible are expenses that would ordinarily
be paid by the policy. These expenses include the Medicare deductibles for Part A
and Part B, but do not include the plan’s separate foreign travel emergency deductible.

MEDICARE (PART B) - MEDICAL SERVICES - PER CALENDAR YEAR
*Once you have been billed $(135) of Medicare-Approved amounts for covered services
(which are noted with an asterisk), your Part B Deductible WILL have been met for
the calendar year.
(**This high deductible plan pays the same benefits as Plan F after one has paid a
calendar year $(2000) deductible. Benefits from the high deductible Plan F will not
begin until out-of-pocket expenses are $(2000). Out-of-pocket expenses for this deductible
are expenses that would ordinarily be paid by the policy. This includes the Medicare
deductibles for Part A and Part B, but does not include the plan’s separate foreign
travel emergency deductible.)
