Mich. Comp. Laws § 500.3910: Option of purchasing policy or certificate including nonforfeiture benefits; offer.

Sec. 3910.

(1) This section does not apply to life insurance policies or riders containing accelerated benefits for long-term care.

(2) Except as provided in subsection (3), a long-term care insurance policy shall not be delivered or issued for delivery in this state unless the policyholder or certificateholder has been offered the option of purchasing a policy or certificate including a nonforfeiture benefit. An offer shall be in writing if the nonforfeiture benefit is not otherwise described in the outline of coverage or other materials given to the prospective policyholder or certificateholder. The offer of a nonforfeiture benefit may be in the form of a rider that is attached to the policy. If the policyholder or certificateholder declines the nonforfeiture benefit, the insurer shall provide a contingent benefit upon lapse that shall be available for a specified period of time following a substantial increase in premium rates.

(3) When a group long-term care insurance policy is issued, the offer required in subsection (2) shall be made to the group policyholder. However, if the policy is issued as group long-term care insurance as defined in section 3901(c)( iv ), other than to a continuing care retirement community or other similar entity, the offering shall be made to each proposed certificateholder.
