Iowa Admin. Code r. 191-60.4 - Rate or manual rule filing
(1) Every insurer,
either on its own or via a licensed rating organization, shall file with the
division , pursuant to provisions of Iowa Code chapter 515A, every manual,
minimum, class rate, rating schedule or rating plan and every other rating
rule, and every modification of any of the foregoing that it proposes to use.
Every insurer shall adhere to the filings made on its behalf by a rating organization except that any such insurer may file a deviation from the class rates, schedules, rating plans, or rules, or a combination thereof, at any time during the year and, once approved, the deviation need only be refiled to propose changes to any filing.
(2) An insurer may file for approval by the
division a uniform percentage rate deviation to be applied to the class rates
of the rating organization's filing.
a. A rate
deviation from the approved class rates of a rating organization shall not
exceed 15 percent nor shall it cause the rate charged a policyholder to exceed
the approved assigned risk rates but must state whether or not the proposed
deviation is to be applied to minimum premiums.
b. In the event that an insurer has an
existing approved filing for which the deviation results in rates above those
approved for the assigned risk, the insurer must use the same deviation as
approved for the assigned risk effective the same date as the approval of the
assigned risk rates. A filing must be made confirming use of the new deviation
on that date.
(3)
Schedule rating may be used by any company, regardless of whether that company
has an approved deviation. The maximum modification allowed for schedule rating
is 15 percent for individual policies.
