subsection for at least one year after the specified period
of coverage has expired.

 
D.__The records required under this chapter may be, but are

duplication to legible hard copy at the request of the

1.__Termination.__An insurer that issued a reimbursement
insurance policy may not terminate the policy until a notice of
cancellation in accordance with the provisions of section 7005
has been mailed or delivered to the superintendent.__The
cancellation of a reimbursement insurance policy does not reduce
the issuer's responsibility for service contracts issued by
providers prior to the date of the cancellation.

 
§7009.__Obligations of reimbursement insurance policy insurers

 
1.__Agency.__Providers are considered to be the agent of the
insurer that issued the reimbursement insurance policy for

accordance with the service contract and this chapter.__When a
provider is acting as an administrator and enlists other
providers, the provider acting as the administrator shall notify
the insurer of the existence and identities of the other
providers.

 
2.__Other rights.__This chapter does not prevent or limit the
right of an insurer that issued a reimbursement insurance policy
to seek indemnification or subrogation against a provider if the
issuer pays or is obligated to pay the service contract holder
sums that the provider was obligated to pay pursuant to the
provisions of the service contract.
