How long does an insurer have to correct or amend a request for personal information?

An insurer has 30 days to correct or amend a request for personal information. This timeframe is established to ensure efficiency and protect consumer rights, allowing individuals a reasonable period to have any inaccuracies addressed.

The regulation requiring this timeline is designed to promote transparency and timely communication between insurers and policyholders. It allows insured individuals to receive accurate information that may affect their policy or claims, further safeguarding their interests in the insurance process.

In considering the other timeframes, while prompt response is critical, longer durations like 45 or 60 days may not align with the statutory expectations to maintain accuracy and protect consumer rights. A 15-day period, on the other hand, can be too brief for necessary corrections or amendments, making 30 days the appropriate balance.
