(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 ofthe 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 ofdelivery 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 ofthe policy or contract is covered in the
event ofthe impairment or insolvency ofa 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.
