§ 4252 Obligations of providers and insurers

§ 4252. Obligations of providers and insurers

(a) A provider is considered to be the agent of an insurer which issued a service contract reimbursement insurance policy and therefore is required to act as a fiduciary in regard to premiums, return of premiums or other sums of money received. However, nothing in this act shall be construed to make such provider subject to the insurance agent licensure requirements set forth in this title.

(b) Providers shall keep accurate accounts, books and records concerning transactions regulated under this subchapter for at least three years after the specified period of coverage has expired. Records required by this act may be maintained solely in an electronic, optical or other storage medium as long as they are capable of being accurately reproduced upon request. These accounts, books and records shall include:

(1) Copies of each type of service contract in use;

(2) The name and address of each service contract holder to the extent that the name and address have been furnished by the service contract holder;

(3) A list of the locations where service contracts are sold; and

(4) Claims files which shall contain at least the dates, amounts and description of all receipts, claims and expenditures related to the service contracts. (Added 1997, No. 109 (Adj. Sess.), { 2, eff. Sept. 1, 1998.)
