(a) A description of the specific rating classifications by which the rates and premiums for the policy have been determined. The notice must be of sufficient detail and clarity so that the policyholder can reasonably verify the applicability and accuracy of the rating classifications.

(b) A general explanation of the extent to which rates or premiums vary among policyholders on the basis of the rating classifications used by the insurer.

(c) Sources and reasonable procedures by which the policyholder can obtain from the insurer additional information sufficient for the policyholder to calculate and confirm the accuracy of his or her specific premium.

(e) A description of all of the insurer's underwriting rules based on insurance eligibility points and a description of all of the underwriting rules of the insurer's affiliates based on insurance eligibility points.

(f) A suggestion that the policyholder contact his or her agent to determine if he or she is eligible for insurance from an affiliate of the insurer or under a different rating plan of the insurer that would provide to the policyholder insurance at a more favorable premium.

(2) In a written notice provided under subsection (1), the insurer shall provide the policyholder with a telephone number and an Internet address, by either of which the policyholder may contact the insurer to request the information listed in subsection (1).
