Ummm...tricky. What is Uniform Provions Law? Let me do some research.


A provision that states that insurance companies must use standard language when creating policies for individual health and accident insurance. The uniform policy provisions, health insurance, must be followed by policy writers, because of the Uniform Individual Accident and Sickness Policy Provisions Act. Companies are not forced to write their policy in an exact way, rather they are required to follow a certain guideline in areas such as proof of loss, medical examination, claims notice, claims forms, policy renewal and premium grace period.
