(a) No domestic, foreign or alien society authorized to do business in this state shall issue or deliver in this state any certificate or other evidence of any contract of accident insurance or health insurance or of any total and permanent disability insurance contract unless and until the form thereof, together with the form of application and all riders or endorsements for use in connection therewith, have been filed with the commissioner and approved by him as conforming to regulations adopted by him and as not inconsistent with any other provision of law applicable thereto. (b) The commissioner shall adopt regulations in accordance with the provisions of chapter 54, establishing a procedure for review of such contracts. If the commissioner finds that any such contract or endorsement is not in accordance with any provision of law, he shall issue an order disapproving the use of such form and stating his reasons therefor. The provisions of section 38a-19 shall apply to any such order issued by the commissioner. The commissioner may approve any such form which in his opinion contains provisions on any one or more of the several requirements made by him which are more favorable to the members than the one or ones so required. (c) Pursuant to the foregoing provisions the commissioner may, from time to time, adopt, alter and supersede reasonable regulations prescribing the required, optional and prohibited provisions in such contracts, and such regulations shall conform, as far as practical, to the provisions of sections 38a-482 and 38a-483 . When the commissioner deems the provisions of the foregoing sections inapplicable, either in part or in their entirety, he may prescribe the portions or summary thereof of the contract to be printed on the certificate issued to the member.
