Ariz. Admin. Code § 20-6-604.02

Current through Register Vol. 30, No. 45, November 8, 2024

Section R20-6-604.02 - Satisfying the Reasonableness Standard

A. An insurer shall comply with all requirements of A.R.S. § 20-1610 regarding premium and insurance charges.

B. An insurer may satisfy the reasonableness standard in A.R.S. § 20-1610(B) if the insurer's premium rate develops a loss ratio of not less than 50% for credit life insurance and not less than 60% for credit disability insurance.

C. While in effect, the rates described in R20-6-604.04 and R20-6-604.05, subject to any deviations approved under R20-6-604.08 are conclusively presumed to develop the loss ratios described in subsection (B). For purposes of prospective effect, the Department may rebut this presumption by disapproving or withdrawing approval for the rates as prescribed in A.R.S. § 20-1610.

D. An insurer may provide coverage other than the standard coverage described in R20-6-604.04 and R20-6-604.05. An insurer that wishes to provide nonstandard coverage shall:

1. File the nonstandard coverage policy information as prescribed in A.R.S. § 20-1609, and

2. Demonstrate that the rates for the coverage are reasonably expected to develop a loss ratio of not less than 50% for credit life insurance and not less than 60% for credit disability insurance.
