§ 27-7-17-19 — Travel insurance; classification; eligibility and underwriting standards

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of
this title, travel insurance is classified and filed for purposes of rates
and forms under an inland marine line of insurance. However, travel
insurance that provides coverage for sickness, accident, disability, or
death occurring during travel, either exclusively or in conjunction with
related coverages of emergency evacuation or repatriation of remains
or incidental limited property and casualty benefits such as baggage or
trip cancellation, may be filed under either an accident and health line
of insurance or an inland marine line of insurance.
(b) Travel insurance may be in the form of an individual, group, or
blanket policy.
(c) Eligibility and underwriting standards for travel insurance may
be developed and provided based on travel protection plans designed
for individual or identified marketing or distribution channels, provided
those standards also meet the state's underwriting standards for an
inland marine line of insurance.
