An Act relative to insurance company rebates

HD 487 prohibits insurance companies from offering any rebate on premiums for insurance policies or annuities, and restricts inducements (such as gifts or services) exceeding $25 not specified in the policy. It allows certain services at no or reduced cost - like risk management tools, financial planning, or post-loss assistance - if they directly relate to insurance coverage and aim to reduce risk or improve customer well-being (e.g., health programs or claim cost reduction). The law applies to all Massachusetts insurance companies, agents, brokers, and policyholders, banning hidden financial incentives that could influence purchasing decisions. This replaces older provisions to clarify transparency in insurance contracts and prevent undisclosed benefits.
