The Life Bureau is responsible for the review and approval of life
insurance forms, annuity contracts and synthetic guaranteed investment
contract (GIC) forms issued in New Jersey to ensure that they comply with
insurance laws and regulations.
This review includes individual and group
forms, separate account contracts and credit insurance. The Bureau
regulates the rates for credit insurance and rate changes for
indeterminate premium forms where the insurer reserves the right to
change premiums. The Bureau approves separate accounts for domestic
insurers, and reviews forms necessary to implement rehabilitation plans
and the restructuring of policies to conform to the terms of such plans. |

The Health Bureau is responsible for the review and approval of individual
and group health insurance forms, group term life forms, and pre-paid legal forms within the Department’s jurisdiction.
The Bureau reviews all disability income, long term care, Medicare supplement,
accident-only, hospital confinement indemnity, dental care and vision care health
insurance contracts, as well as pre-paid legal service contracts sold to individuals. The Bureau also reviews and approves
rates for such coverages in the individual market.
With the exception of hospital-medical contracts sold to individuals and small employers, the Bureau is responsible for the review of all individual and group
health insurance, HMO, HSC, DPO, DSC, group term life insurance, and group pre-paid legal service contracts, certificates, riders, amendments, applications, and other forms required to be submitted to the Department. |
