Terms Used In Kansas Statutes 40-2216

  • Settlement: Parties to a lawsuit resolve their difference without having a trial. Settlements often involve the payment of compensation by one party in satisfaction of the other party's claims.

The purpose of this act shall be to provide reasonable standardization and simplification of terms and coverages of individual accident and sickness insurance policies and subscriber contracts of non-profit hospital, medical and dental service corporations to facilitate public understanding and comparison, to eliminate provisions contained in individual accident and sickness insurance policies and subscriber contracts of non-profit hospital, medical, and dental service corporations which may be misleading or unreasonably confusing in connection either with the purchase of such coverages or with the settlement of claims, and to provide for full disclosure in the sale of accident and sickness coverages.
