Illinois Statutes Chapter 215. Insurance § 152/20. Reimbursement policy; required provisions

(a) No service contract reimbursement insurance policy shall be issued, sold, or offered for sale in this State unless the policy states that the issuer of the policy will reimburse or pay on behalf of the service contract provider all covered sums which the service contract provider is legally obligated to pay or will provide the service that the service contract provider is legally obligated to perform according to the service contract provider's contractual obligations under the provisions of the insured service contracts issued or sold by the service contract provider.

(b) If covered service is not provided by the service contract provider within 60 days of proof of loss by the service contract holder, the service contract holder may file directly with the insurance company writing the service contract reimbursement insurance policy.

(c) A service contract reimbursement insurance company that insures a service contract shall be deemed to have received payment of the premium if the service contract holder paid for the service contract coverage.

(d) If a service contract is canceled by a service contract holder, the service contract reimbursement insurance company shall be required to return the unearned service contract reimbursement insurance premium for that contract to the insured service contract provider. If the service contract provider fails to refund the amounts required under Section 35 of this Act, the service contract reimbursement insurance company shall be responsible for the refund to the service contract holder.
