Bill Summary
Relative to insurance companies and death certificates. Financial Services.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing Massachusetts law to require the office of the chief medical examiner to issue a letter to a life insurance beneficiary regarding their role, or lack thereof, in the decedent's death when the cause of death is listed as "pending" on the death certificate. Additionally, the bill requires insurance companies to process a claim filed by a beneficiary upon receiving a death certificate with the cause of death listed as "pending" and the letter from the medical examiner's office, rather than requiring a certified copy of the death certificate with the cause of death fully listed.
