28 Tex. Admin. Code § 3.17 - Form and Rate Filing Requirements
(a) Except
as provided by subsection (b) of this section, for a form or rate filing, only
one product (including all forms that will constitute the entire contract and
their associated rates) may be submitted in a single filing. This does not
prevent an issuer from filing a product that contains multiple types of
benefits that will be issued in combination in a single contract if that
combination otherwise complies with applicable requirements.
(b) A form may be submitted for general use
with multiple policies, evidences of coverage, or certificates. A form
submitted for general use must be filed individually, except that multiple
forms that are clearly related and intended to be used with one or more of the
same underlying products may be filed together.
(c) Each form must prominently display on the
cover page or the first page a face page that includes:
(1) the full name of the issuer assuming the
risk of the product; and
(2) the
complete mailing address of the issuer.
(d) Each form submitted must be designated by
a unique form number that:
(1) is sufficient
to distinguish it from all other forms used by the issuer;
(2) is shown in the lower left-hand corner of
each page of the form, or in the case of a matrix provision, is shown below
each matrix provision; and
(3) has
the additional identifying form number requirements set forth in §
3.5201 of this title (relating to
Submission of Form and Rate Filings) if the form is submitted under Insurance
Code Chapter 1153, concerning Credit Life Insurance and Credit Accident and
Health Insurance.
(e) A
limited, partial refiling must contain the change and any additional actuarial
information necessary for a comprehensive review of the refiling, if
applicable.
(f) An amendment that
is submitted to modify an existing form must be accompanied by a revised
version of that form (with a new unique form number) that incorporates the
contents of the amendment, unless the amendment does not apply to newly issued
forms. After the 180th day following the date the revised version of the form
is approved, for newly issued coverage, the issuer must use the revised version
of the form, rather than the amendment.
