Insurance refunds for prepaid nursing home policy questioned
A reader details a $739 prepaid annual premium for a Great Republic Life nursing home policy. After her husband died, the company denied a refund of unused premium while Mutual of Omaha and Pacific Northwest Life refunded similarclaims. A National Insurance Consumer Organization official urged refund, arguing policies are adhesion contracts and ambiguity favors the insured.
