Colorado Life Insurance Specifics

Like most states, Colorado’s Department of Insurance relies on The State Insurance Code of Colorado to standardize Life Insurance polices to some degree.. The state uses this code to regulate claims and provide certain provisions to protect Colorado Life Insurance consumers. Such as:
Death Benefit Processing: In Colorado your beneficiaries are entailed to swift and efficient payment of death benefits. If all documentation is in order the norm is within 30 days. The State Code also provides for Colorado Life Insurance companies to pay interest on death benefits. With a Colorado Life Insurance policy, interest begins to be applied to a death benefit as soon a claim is filed. If your Colorado Life Insurance Company fails to pay the claim within 30 days, the interest rate increases on the 31st day. 
Grace Period: The Colorado State insurance code also requires that all Colorado Life Insurance companies allow a 30-day grace period on late payments. You can be confident that no matter why you are late, the insurance company must  -by law - give you 30 days to bring the account current before the insurer can cancel the policy for non-payment.

State regulations also provide some protections to Colorado Life Insurance companies against potential insurance fraud. A Colorado life insurance company may dispute any information you may have put in your Colorado Life Insurance application for up to two years from issuance of the policy. If they find any discrepancies, especially as relates to medical conditions, dangerous lifestyle or job related activities, or tobacco use -they can terminate the policy immediately.
