§ 2219. Purpose and Scope.

Insurance Code Section 10290 requires all individual disability policy forms must be submitted to the Insurance Commissioner for approval. The provisions of this Article, as specified, are applicable to all such disability policy forms submitted to the Insurance Commissioner for approval on and after January 1, 1973. Subdivision (c) of Section 10291.6, Insurance Code, provides that the Insurance Commissioner may promulgate rules establishing certain standards, conforming to the provisions of Subdivision (b) of said Section 10291.5, by which individual disability policies will be disapproved or approval thereof withdrawn, other than as provided in Subdivision (j) of Insurance Code Section 10291.5. This Article contains some standards of that nature, but such standards herein are limited to standards conforming to the provisions of Paragraph (7) of said Subdivision (b) by which such policies will be disapproved or approval thereof withdrawn. Such standards cannot anticipate all insurance benefits which may be contained in policies hereafter submitted for approval. Promulgation of these rules does not limit the responsibility of the Commissioner, imposed upon him by law, in respect to all such policy forms, to approve, disapprove or withdraw approval of policy forms in accordance with all applicable statutes and regulations.
