        515A.9  INFORMATION TO BE FURNISHED INSUREDS --
      HEARINGS AND APPEALS OF INSUREDS.
         Every rating organization and every insurer which makes its own
      rate shall, within a reasonable time after receiving written request
      therefor and upon payment of such reasonable charge as it may make,
      furnish to any insured affected by a rate made by it, or to the
      authorized representative of such insured, all pertinent information
      as to such rate.  Every rating organization and every insurer which
      makes its own rates shall provide within this state reasonable means
      whereby any person aggrieved by the application of its rating system
      may be heard, in person or by the person's authorized representative,
      on the person's written request to review the manner in which such
      rating system has been applied in connection with the insurance
      afforded the person.  Such review of the manner in which a rating
      system has been applied is not a contested case under chapter 17A.
      If the rating organization or insurer fails to grant or reject such
      request within thirty days after it is made, the applicant may
      proceed in the same manner as if the application had been rejected.
      Any party affected by the action of such rating organization or such
      insurer on such request may, within thirty days after written notice
      of such action, appeal to the commissioner, who, after a hearing held
      upon not less than ten days' written notice to the appellant and to
      such rating organization or insurer, may affirm or reverse such
      action.  Such appeal to the commissioner of the manner in which a
      rating system has been applied is not a contested case under chapter
      17A.
