A.
General Rules.
(1) Medicare supplement policies and certificates shall include a
renewal or continuation provision. The language or specifications of
the provision shall be consistent with the type of contract issued.
The 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, the 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
47
certificate holder 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 CMS
and in a type size no smaller than 12 point type. Delivery of
the Guide shall be made whether or not the policies or
certificates are advertised, solicited or issued as Medicare
supplement policies or certificates as defined in this rule.
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 certificate holders of modifications it has
made to Medicare Supplement insurance policies or certificates in a
format acceptable to the commissioner. The 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 certificate holder 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) The 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.
48
(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 the 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 the 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 plans 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.

DISCLOSURES [Boldface Type]
Use this outline to compare benefits and premiums among policies.

2011.]
READ YOUR POLICY VERY CAREFULLY [Boldface Type]

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]

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

is guaranteed issue, this paragraph need not appear.]
Review the application carefully before you sign it. Be certain that all information has been properly

[**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.]
