Policyholder Protection Rules
Market-conduct rules that regulate how insurers treat policyholders, including disclosure, communication, claims, complaints, and fair treatment duties.
Definition
The Policyholder Protection Rules can matter when checking whether an insurer explained policy terms, handled a claim fairly, gave reasons for repudiation, dealt with complaints properly, or communicated time limits. The practical review should compare the insurer's conduct with the policy documents, claim timeline, complaint records, and applicable rule version.
