Every company or association shall file annually in the department with its annual statement, the certification of a competent actuary as to the amount of all the reserves required to be held by the association on its policies or certificates. This section shall not apply to any policy or certificate containing a natural death benefit not exceeding one hundred dollars when the policy or certificate also provides benefits in the event of sickness or bodily injury or death by accident.
