Cancellation and rescission of short-term limited duration medical plan.
1.
A short-term limited duration medical plan shall not be cancelled by the carrier during the coverage period except for the following:(a)
Nonpayment of premium;(b)
Violation of published policies of the carrier approved by the Commissioner;(c)
Failure of a member to pay any deductible or copayment amount owed to the carrier and not the provider of health care services;(d)
Members committing fraudulent acts as to the carrier;(e)
A member’s material breach of the medical plan; or(f)
Change or implementation of federal or state laws that no longer permit the continued offering of such coverage.2.
Except as otherwise provided in subsections 3 and 4, a short-term limited duration medical plan must not be rescinded by the carrier during the coverage period except for nonpayment of premium.3.
Except as provided in subsection 4 of this section, no oral or written misrepresentation or warranty made by the person applying for coverage or on his or her behalf in the process of applying for a short-term limited duration medical plan shall be deemed material or allow the carrier to rescind the medical plan, unless the misrepresentation or warranty is made to deceive.4.
In any application for a short-term limited duration medical plan made in writing by a person, all statements in the application by the person shall, in the absence of fraud, be deemed representations and not warranties. The falsity of any such statement shall not bar the right to recovery under the contract unless such false statement was made with actual intent to deceive or unless it materially affected either the acceptance of the risk or the hazard assumed by the carrier.5.
When cancellation or rescission is for nonpayment of premium, the carrier must notify the member in writing 10 days prior to the cancellation or rescission that his or her short-term limited duration medical plan will be cancelled, unless payment is made prior to the cancellation date. When cancellation is for any other reason allowed under subsection 1, the carrier must notify the member in writing 20 days prior to the cancellation date. The notice must specifically state the reason or reasons for the cancellation. The written communications required by this subsection must be phrased in simple language that is readily understood.
