515F.7 INFORMATION TO BE FURNISHED INSUREDS -- HEARINGS AND APPEALS OF INSUREDS. An insurer shall, within a reasonable time after receiving written request and upon payment of reasonable charges set by the commissioner, furnish to an insured affected by a rate made by the insurer, or to the authorized representative of the insured, all pertinent information as to the rate. An insurer shall provide within this state reasonable means for the insured aggrieved by the application of its rating system to be heard, in person or by the insured's authorized representative, on written request to review the manner in which the rating system has been applied in connection with the insurance afforded the insured. If the insurer fails to grant or reject a request for hearing and review within thirty days after it is made, the applicant may proceed in the same manner as if the application had been rejected. The insured affected by the action of the insurer on a request may, within thirty days after written notice of the action, appeal to the commissioner, who, after a hearing held upon not less than ten days' written notice to the appellant and to the insurer, may affirm or reverse the action.          Section History: Recent Form 90 Acts, ch 1234, §51 Referred to in § 515F.23
