OCTOBER 1, 1957
TO ALL COMPANIES WRITING HOSPITAL, HEALTH & ACCIDENT
INSURANCE IN MISSISSIPPI
It has been called to the attention of the Insurance Department that a wide variance exists between registration or policy fees of the various companies writing hospital, health and accident insurance in Mississippi. There has also been considerable evidence that certain agents are varying the policy fee without the knowledge of the company they represent.
For the sake of uniformity and to further protect the insurance buying public, it is hereby ordered that no policy fee shall exceed $6.00 and in no event shall the policy fee exceed the premium collected with the initial sale. Every company using a policy fee in this state is requested to file same with the Department, and there shall be no variance from the approved filing.
Kindly acknowledge receipt of this Order, which shall become effective November 1, 1957.
Yours very truly,
Walter Dell Davis

Commissioner of Insurance
