Summary


The changes are as follows: incorporated the Federal Model Privacy Form as Appendix B, allowing licensees to rely on this form as a safe harbor for compliance with the rule; clarified that licensees may continue to use existing language in the current Appendix A, but as of 07/01/2019 will not be considered safe harbor language; updated several citations within the rule to reflect changes to the rule based on adoption of the NAIC model #672; updated reference to a beneficiary in a workers' compensation plan to be a claimant covered by a workers' compensation plan; made changes consistent with NAIC model #672; added language to address settlement options and clarifying the consumer is a beneficiary or claimant that has submitted a claim; made changes consistent with NAIC model #672; added a new Section R590-206-10; and added privacy notices to group policyholders, which adopts specific language for notice requires for group policyholders. The Department of Insurance previously added language in Subsection R590-206-11(3)(a) which was strongly opposed by industry. This revision removes the previously proposed language, and adopts the NAIC model #672 language. (EDITOR'S NOTE: The original proposed amendment upon which this change in proposed rule (CPR) was based was published in the March 1, 2017, issue of the Utah State Bulletin, on page 42. Underlining in the rule below indicates text that has been added since the publication of the proposed rule mentioned above; strike-out indicates text that has been deleted. You must view the CPR and the proposed amendment together to understand all of the changes that will be enforceable should the agency make this rule effective.)
