(1) Notwithstanding KRS § 304.19-080, an insurer issuing credit health insurance coverage to credit union borrowers, when the coverage is not required as a condition of the loan, may use higher credit health insurance premium rates for specific credit unions if the rates for those credit unions have been filed with the commissioner, and within thirty (30) days of the filing the commissioner has not disapproved the rate as excessive in relation to the benefits provided.
(2) In determining whether to disapprove any rate, the commissioner shall give due consideration to the morbidity costs with respect to the insurance, a reasonable margin for underwriting expenses, profits, contingencies and other reasonable costs and expenses attributable to the insurer, and costs and compensation to the creditor for providing and servicing the insurance, plus the premium taxes payable on the insurance.
