HB 1618: Insurance/service provider

Restricting service providers who pass on costs to casualty or property insurers.

Summary

  • $ The general prohibition against a service provider either waiving or paying a claimant's deductible under an insurance policy is revised so as to be effective only under specified circumstances.
  • $ Insurance service providers are required to provide consumers with itemized disclosures of the estimated costs of repair and the costs of any deductibles to be borne by the consumer.
  • $ Subject to several exceptions, an insurance service provider cannot require a consumer to pay a deductible larger than the deductible stated in the original cost estimate.
