§4121. Accident and health insurance and total and permanent disability insurance certificates
No society may issue or deliver in this State any certificate or other evidence of any contract or accident insurance or health insurance or of any total and permanent disability insurance contract unless and until the form thereof, together with the form of application and all riders or endorsements for use in connection therewith, has been filed with the superintendent and approved by him as conforming to reasonable rules from time to time made by him and as not inconsistent with any other provisions of law applicable thereto. For each such form filing, the society shall pay the superintendent a fee which shall be the same as for an insurer, as provided in section 601. The superintendent shall, within a reasonable time after the filing of any such form, notify the society filing the form either of his approval or of his disapproval of that form. The superintendent may approve any such form which in his opinion contains provisions on any one or more of the several requirements made by him which are more favorable to the members than the one or ones so required. The superintendent may make, alter and supersede reasonable regulations prescribing the required, optional and prohibited provisions in such contracts, and such regulations shall conform, as far as practicable, to chapter 33. Where the superintendent deems inapplicable, either in part or in their entirety, the provisions of the foregoing sections, he may prescribe the portions or summary thereof of the contract to be printed on the certificate issued to the member. Any filing made under this section shall be deemed approved unless disapproved within 60 days from the date of such filing. The procedures governing all rules promulgated under authority of this section shall conform to the Maine Administrative Procedure Act, Title 5, chapter 375, subchapter II. [PL 1983, c. 419, §12 (AMD).]
