California Fair Claims Settlement Practices Regulation

Overview

All insurers conducting business in California must comply with the state’s Fair Claims Settlement Practices Regulations.  In addition, the state requires all who are involved with the claims process to be trained in claims handling and to attest to having read and understood California’s Fair Claims Settlement Practices Regulations.  Among others, the objectives of these regulations include promoting prompt, efficient and equitable settlement of claims and discouraging false or fraudulent claims.   

This course presents the language of these regulations, as they are set forth in Title 10, Chapter 5, Subchapter 7.5 of California Code of Regulations.  Upon conclusion, students will be presented with a statement enabling them to attest to having read these regulations.
