OAR 836-043-0064: Renewal, Nonrenewal

(1) A servicing carrier shall send a renewal or nonrenewal notice of impending expiration of coverage to the insured, the representative of the insured and the Plan Administrator at least 45 days before the expiration date of insurance. Upon receipt of the required premium, the servicing carrier shall issue the policy in accordance with Oregon statutes and rules and furnish a copy of such policy and all endorsements, properly identified as a Plan or AR (Assigned Risk) policy, to the Plan Administrator or its designee within the time and in the format established by the Plan Administrator. (2) The servicing carrier shall apply the deposit premium paid by an employer in the Plan against the deposit required for a renewal policy, if any. If the servicing carrier assigned the renewal policy is different from the previous servicing carrier, then the previous servicing carrier shall promptly bill the employer for the final billing period, including any audit adjustments. If the final billing is not paid on or before the 30th day after the billing, the renewal servicing carrier may immediately issue a cancellation notice. (3) A servicing carrier may refuse to renew a policy if the servicing carrier is unable to supply a required type of coverage, including but not limited to longshore, coal mine, maritime or additional state exposures.
