The Life Insurance Bureau is responsible for the review and approval of life
insurance forms, annuity contracts and synthetic guaranteed investment
contract (GIC) forms issued in New Jersey to ensure that they comply with
insurance laws and regulations.
This review includes individual and group
forms, separate account contracts and credit insurance. The Bureau
regulates the rates for credit insurance and rate changes for
indeterminate premium forms where the insurer reserves the right to
change premiums. The Bureau approves separate accounts for domestic
insurers, and reviews forms necessary to implement rehabilitation plans
and the restructuring of policies to conform to the terms of such plans.
Note: Questions on agent or broker licensing should be directed to the Insurance Licensing Section.
The Health Insurance Bureau is responsible for the review and approval of individual
and group health insurance contracts and rates within the Department’s jurisdiction.

accident-only, hospital confinement indemnity, dental care and vision care health
insurance contracts sold to individuals. The Bureau also reviews and approves
rates for such coverages in the individual market.
With the exception of group hospital-medical contracts sold to individuals and small employers, the Bureau is responsible for the review of all group
health insurance contracts, group term life insurance contracts, and health
maintenance organization contracts.
