Which statement about life insurance policy forms is correct?
Insurers may design their own policy forms as long as they include the required provisions — There is no single standard life insurance policy form. Each insurer drafts its own policy forms, which are then submitted to the state insurance department for approval, and every policy must contain the required provisions set out by law, such as those specified in California Insurance Code Section 381. As a result, wording varies between companies even though coverage essentials are comparable. Consumers compare policies by their provisions, benefits, and premiums rather than assuming all forms are identical. Because forms differ, an agent must compare policy provisions carefully when helping a client choose among companies and products.
