Ins 3.25(15)(a)1.1. As set forth in Appendix A, if premiums are payable on a single premium basis for the duration of the coverage; or Ins 3.25(15)(a)2.2. If premiums are paid on the basis of a premium rate per month per $1,000 of outstanding insured indebtedness, these premiums shall be computed according to a formula approved by the commissioner as producing a rate or rates actuarially consistent with the single premium prima facie premium rates. Ins 3.25(15)(b)(b) The prima facie rates shall apply to policies providing credit accident and sickness insurance which are issued with or without evidence of insurability, and which are offered to all debtors. Ins 3.25(15)(b)1.1. If evidence of individual insurability is not required there shall be no exclusion for pre-existing conditions, except for those conditions which manifested themselves to the insured debtor by requiring medical advice, diagnosis, consultation or treatment, or would have caused a reasonably prudent person to have sought medical advice, diagnosis, consultation or treatment, within 6 months preceding the effective date of coverage and which causes loss within 6 months following the effective date of coverage. Under open-end credit plans, the effective date of coverage applies separately with respect to each purchase or loan to which the coverage relates; Ins 3.25(15)(b)2.2. Whether or not evidence of insurability is required the policy shall contain: Ins 3.25(15)(b)2.a.a. No provision which excludes or restricts liability in the event of disability caused in a certain specified manner except that the policies may contain provisions excluding or restricting coverage in the event of normal pregnancy, intentionally self-inflicted injuries, flight in nonscheduled aircraft, war, military service or foreign travel or residence. Ins 3.25(15)(b)2.b.b. Either no age restrictions, or age restrictions making ineligible for coverage debtors not less than age 65 or over at the time the indebtedness is incurred, or debtors who will have attained at least age 66 on the maturity date of the indebtedness. Insurance written in connection with an open-end credit plan may exclude from the classes eligible for insurance classes of debtors determined by age, and may provide for the cessation of the insurance or a reduction in the amount of insurance upon attainment of not less than age 65. Ins 3.25(15)(b)2.c.c. A provision which defines disability as the inability to perform any occupation for which the debtor is reasonably fitted by education, training or experience after the period of disability has lasted for 12 consecutive months. During the first 12 consecutive months of disability, the definition must relate the disability to the occupation of the debtor at the time the disability occurred. Ins 3.25(15)(c)(c) No individual or group policy of credit accident and sickness insurance shall be delivered or issued for delivery if the benefits are payable after a waiting period of less than 14 days regardless of whether the payment of benefits is retroactive to the first day of disability. Ins 3.25(16)(16) Use of rates higher than prima facie rates. Ins 3.25(16)(a)(a) An insurer may file for approval and use rates that are higher than the prima facie rates if it can be reasonably expected that the use of these higher rates will result in a ratio of claims incurred to premiums earned that is not less than the applicable basic loss ratio. Ins 3.25(16)(b)1.1. Applied uniformly to all applicable credit insurance of the insurer; or Ins 3.25(16)(b)2.2. Applied according to a case-rating procedure on file with and approved by the commissioner. Ins 3.25(16)(c)(c) An insurer electing to file a case rating procedure may either file its own plan for approval by the commissioner or may use the standard case rating procedure specified in sub. (17). Ins 3.25(17)(a)(a) An insurer, by written notice to the commissioner of its election to do so, may file and use rates determined by the standard case rating procedure. If elected, the procedure shall be used by the insurer to rate all of its credit insurance in this state. Ins 3.25(17)(b)(b) The case rate shall be the prima facie premium rate if the life years exposure is less than the minimum life years exposure shown below: Ins 3.25(17)(c)(c) If the life years exposure is not less than the minimum life years exposure, the case rate for a plan of benefits shall be calculated as the product of the deviation factor determined in par. (d) and the prima facie premium rate in effect at the end of the experience period. The case rates shall be rounded to the nearest cent per $1000 indebtedness for single premiums payable on the basis of monthly outstanding balances. Ins 3.25(17)(d)(d) Deviation factor determination. The deviation factor shall be determined using the following worksheet: All calculations below shall be taken to five decimal places:
IF LINE 12 IS GREATER THAN ZERO, GO ON TO LINE 13. IF LINE 12 IS LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO ZERO, THE DEVIATION FACTOR IS ONE AND THE CASE RATE IS THE PRIMA FACIE RATE BASIS CURRENTLY IN EFFECT.
IF LINE 12 IS LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO ZERO, LINE 26 EQUALS LINE 1; OTHERWISE, IF LINE 5 EXCEEDS ONE, LINE 26 EQUALS LINE 25, AND IF LINE 5 IS LESS THAN ONE, THEN LINE 26 EQUALS LINE 24
Ins 3.25(17)(e)(e) The period of time for which a case rate may be used by an insurer may not exceed the length of the experience period on which the rate is based. However, the period may not be less than one year nor more than 3 years. Ins 3.25(18)(a)(a) If a creditor changes insurers, the case rate applicable to that creditor’s coverage may be used by the replacing insurer under the same terms and conditions that apply to the replaced insurer; Ins 3.25(18)(b)(b) If the case rate is higher than the prima facie premium rate on the date of change, the replacing insurer shall furnish notice of the change of insurers to the commissioner within 30 days following the date of change. The notice shall include the identity of the creditor and of the replaced insurer, the approved case rate applicable to the creditor’s coverage and the rate to be charged by the replacing insurer, and shall request that the commissioner inform the replacing insurer of the termination date of the case rate applicable to the creditor’s coverage. In no event shall the replacing insurer charge a rate higher than that approved for use by the replaced insurer for the remainder of the case rate period or, if sooner, until a new case rate for that creditor’s coverage is approved by the commissioner. Ins 3.25(19)(19) Filing of experience information. Every insurer having credit life insurance or credit accident and sickness insurance in force in this state shall report Wisconsin experience data annually on the annual statement Credit Insurance Experience Exhibit form (available at no charge from the Commissioner.) The experience data for each calendar year shall be submitted as specified in the instructions to the annual statement and according to the requirements of sub. (20).
