Annual notice of maximum allowable charge for information requested pursuant to section 2113 of the insurance code of 1956, as amended

Issued and entered December 10, 1981 by Nancy A. Baerwaldt, Commissioner of Insurance

Section 2113 of the Insurance Code of 1956, as amended, requires insurers to establish procedures to provide a person who believes he or she has been improperly denied or charged an incorrect premium for home or automobile insurance with a private informal managerial-level conference. These procedures must include "a method of providing the person, upon request and payment of a reasonable copying charge, with information pertinent to the denial of insurance or to the premium charged."

Administrative Rule 500.1508(2)(b) states that a reasonable copying charge shall not exceed the rate charged for copying with Michigan Insurance Bureau, and that the Commissioner shall inform insurers of the maximum allowable copying charge on an annual basis.

Effective immediately, and until further notice, the maximum allowable copying charge shall be 15 cents per page.
