2013 Alaska Statutes
Title 21 - INSURANCE
Chapter 21.53 - LONG-TERM CARE INSURANCE
Sec. 21.53.062 Incontestability period.
(a) If a long-term care insurance policy has been in force for less than six months, an insurer may rescind the policy or deny an otherwise valid long-term care claim under the policy on a showing of misrepresentation that is material to the acceptance for coverage.
(b) If a long-term care insurance policy has been in force for at least six months but less than two years, an insurer may rescind the policy or deny an otherwise valid long-term care claim under the policy on a showing of misrepresentation that is both material to the acceptance for coverage and pertains to the condition for which benefits are sought.
(c) If a long-term care insurance policy has been in force for two years or more, the policy is not contestable on the grounds of misrepresentation alone and may only be contested on a showing that the insured knowingly and intentionally misrepresented relevant facts relating to the insured's health.
(d) If an insurer has paid benefits under a long-term care insurance policy, the insurer may not recover the benefit payments if the policy is rescinded.
(e) This section applies to a life insurance policy that accelerates benefits for long-term care. However, if an insured dies, this section does not apply to the remaining death benefit of a life insurance policy that accelerates benefits for long-term care, and the remaining death benefit under the policy is subject to AS 21.45.040 .
