Required disclosure provisions
Cite as N.D. Admin. Code § 45-06-01.1-14
1.
General rules.
a.
Medicare supplement policies and certificates must include a renewal or continuation
provision. The language or specifications of the provision must be consistent with the
type of contract issued. Such provision must be appropriately captioned and must appear
on the first page of the policy, and must include any reservation by the issuer of the right
to change premiums and any automatic renewal premium increases based on the
policyholder's age.
b.
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 must 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 must 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. When a separate additional premium is charged for benefits provided in connection
with riders or endorsements, the premium charge must be set forth in the policy.
c.
Medicare supplement policies or certificates may not provide for the payment of benefits
based on standards described as "usual and customary", "reasonable and customary", or
words of similar import.
d.
If a Medicare supplement policy or certificate contains any limitations with respect to
preexisting conditions, such limitations must appear as a separate paragraph of the
policy and be labeled as "preexisting condition limitations".
e.
Medicare supplement policies and certificates must have a notice prominently printed on
the first page of the policy or certificate or attached thereto stating in substance that the
policyholder or certificate holder has the right to return the policy or certificate within thirty
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.
f.
(1)
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 must 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 the centers for Medicare and Medicaid services and
in a type size no smaller than twelve-point type. Delivery of the guide must 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 must be made to the
applicant at the time of application and acknowledgment of receipt of the guide must
be obtained by the insurer. Direct response issuers must deliver the guide to the
applicant upon request but not later than at the time the policy is delivered.
(2)
For the purposes of this section, "form" means the language, format, type size, type
proportional spacing, bold character, and line spacing.
2.
Notice requirements.
a.
As soon as practicable, but no later than thirty days prior to the annual effective date of
any Medicare benefit changes, an issuer must notify its policyholders and certificate
holders of modifications it has made to Medicare supplement insurance policies or
certificates in a format acceptable to the commissioner. The notice must:
(1)
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
(2)
Inform each policyholder or certificate holder as to when any premium adjustment is
to be made due to changes in Medicare.
b.
The notice of benefit modifications and any premium adjustments must be in outline form
and in clear and simple terms so as to facilitate comprehension.
c.
Such notices may not contain or be accompanied by any solicitation.
3.
Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 notice
requirements. Issuers must comply with any notice requirements of the Medicare Prescription
Drug Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003.
4.
Outline of coverage requirements for Medicare supplement policies.
a.
Issuers must provide an outline of coverage to all applicants at the time application is
presented to the prospective applicant and, except for direct response policies, must
obtain an acknowledgment of receipt of the outline from the applicant; and
b.
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 must
accompany such policy or certificate when it is delivered and contain the following
statement, in no less than twelve-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."
c.
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 must be in the
language and format prescribed below in no less than twelve-point type. All plans must
be shown on the cover page, and the plans that are offered by the issuer must be
prominently identified. Premium information for plans that are offered must be shown on
the cover page or immediately following the cover page and must be prominently
displayed. The premium and mode must be stated for all plans that are offered to the
prospective applicant. All possible premiums for the prospective applicant must be
illustrated.
d.
The following items must be included in the outline of coverage in the order prescribed
below:

*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 [$2,240] deductible. Benefits from
high deductible Plan F will not begin until out-of-pocket expenses exceed [$2,240]. 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.

Use this outline to compare benefits and premiums among policies.
This outline shows benefits and premiums of policies sold for effective dates on or after June 1,

after June 1, 2011.]
READ YOUR POLICY VERY CAREFULLY [Boldface Type]
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 [Boldface Type]
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 of your payments.
POLICY REPLACEMENT [Boldface Type]
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 [Boldface Type]
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:]

This outline of coverage does not give all the details of Medicare coverage. Contact your local Social
Security Office or consult Medicare and You for more details.
COMPLETE ANSWERS ARE VERY IMPORTANT [Boldface Type]
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 subsection 4 of Section
45-06-01.1-07.1.]
[Include an explanation of any innovative benefits on the cover page and in the chart, in a manner
approved by the commissioner.]

1Plans F and G also have a high deductible option which require first paying a plan deductible of
[$2,240] before the plan begins to pay. Once the plan deductible is met, the plan pays one hundred
percent of covered services for the rest of the calendar year. High deductible plan G does not cover the
Medicare part B deductible. However, high deductible plans F and G count your payment of the
Medicare part B deductible toward meeting the plan deductible.
2Plans K and L pay one hundred percent of covered services for the rest of the calendar year once you
meet the out-of-pocket yearly limit.
3Plan N pays one hundred percent of the part B coinsurance, except for a copayment of up to $20 for
some office visits and up to a $50 copayment for emergency room visits that do not result in an
inpatient admission.
