Policy forms.
624.4412 Policy forms.—
(1) No policy or contract form, application form, certificate, rider, endorsement, summary plan description, or other evidence of coverage shall be issued by an arrangement unless the form and all changes thereto have been filed with the office by or on behalf of the arrangement which proposes to use such form and have been approved by the office. Filing of all forms shall be in accordance with the provisions of s. 627.410(2).
(2) The office shall disapprove any form filed under this section, or withdraw any previous approval thereof, only if the form:
(a) Is in any respect in violation of, or does not comply with, this code;
(b) Contains or incorporates by reference, where such incorporation is otherwise permissible, any inconsistent, ambiguous, or misleading clauses, or exceptions and conditions which deceptively affect the risk purported to be assumed in the general coverage of the contract;
(c) Has any title, heading, or other indication of its provisions which is misleading;
(d) Is printed or otherwise reproduced in such manner as to render any material provision of the form substantially illegible; or
