40-960. Same; information to be furnished insureds; grievance procedures; appeals to commissioner. Every rating organization and every insurer which makes its own rates, within a reasonable time after receiving written request therefor, shall furnish to any insured affected by a rate made by it, or to the authorized representative of such insured, all pertinent information as to such rate. Every rating organization and every insurer which makes its own rates shall provide within this state reasonable means whereby any person aggrieved by the application of its rating system may be heard, in person or by authorized representative, on written request to review the manner in which such rating system has been applied in connection with the insurance afforded such person.
If the rating organization or insurer fails to grant or reject such request within 30 days after it is made, the applicant may proceed in the same manner as if such application has been rejected. Any party affected by the action of such rating organization or such insurer on such request, within 30 days after written notice of such action, may appeal to the commissioner, who, after a hearing, may affirm or reverse such action.
