and the company;
(b) The statement "READ YOUR POLICY CAREFULLY. This cover sheet
provides only a brief outline of some of the important features of your policy.
This cover sheet is not the insurance contract and only the actual policy
provisions will control. The policy itself sets forth, in detail, the rights and
obligations of both you and your insurance company. IT IS THEREFORE
IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ YOUR POLICY." and
(c) An index of the major provisions of the policy or contract and the pages on
which they are found which may include the following items:

Provision governing the procedure for filing a claim under the policy;

by either the insurer or the policyowner;

Provisions governing the insurer's duties and powers in the event that

The cover sheet may include, either as part of the index or as a separate section, a
brief summary of the extent and types of coverage in the policy.
No cover sheet shall be used unless it has been filed with and approved by the
commissioner. The cover sheet shall be deemed approved sixty (60) days after filing
unless disapproved by the commissioner within the sixty (60) day period, subject to
a reasonable extension of times as the commissioner may require by notice given
within the sixty (60) day period. The commissioner shall disapprove any cover sheet
which does not meet the requirements of this section. Any disapproval shall be
