26.1-27-09. Payment to administrator

26.1-27-09. Payment to administrator Whenever an insurer uses the services of an administrator, the payment to the administrator of any premiums or charges for insurance by or on behalf of the insured is deemed to have been received by the insurer, and the payment of return premiums or claims by the insurer to the administrator is not deemed payment to the insured or claimant until the payment is received by the insured or claimant. This section does not limit any right of the insurer against the administrator resulting from its failure to make payments to the insurer, insureds, or claimants.
