Long-term care insurance policies shall have a notice prominently printed on the first page of the policy and the summary of coverage stating in substance that the applicant has the right to return the policy within 30 days after its delivery and to have the entire premium refunded if, after examination of the policy, the applicant is not satisfied for any reason.
