A. Any refund due an insured by an insurer writing or delivering insurance policies excluding health insurance, life insurance, and annuities in the state because of either cancellation, elimination, or reduction of coverage by the insurer or the insured, shall be accompanied with interest at the rate of one and one-half percent per month of the amount of the refund due the customer, without the benefit of daily proration of this monthly interest, after thirty days of either of the following:
(1) The delivery to the insured of the written notice of such cancellation, elimination, or reduction.
(2) Delivery to the insurer's state, regional, or home office, from which such refund would issue, of the written request for such cancellation, elimination, or reduction. An insurer shall be deemed in compliance with this Section and not subject to the further accruement of interest by furnishing timely evidence of the mailing of such refund to the last known address of the insured. However, when the insured continues to maintain a policy of insurance with the insurer, or an affiliated insurer, and the amount of the refund plus interest is twenty-five dollars or less, the insurer may credit the amount of the payment against future premiums. The insurer shall give written notice to the insured of the credit and the amount at policy renewal.
B. The provisions of this Section shall not apply to those policies issued by an insurance company which require an audit.
