An insurer offering a long-term care insurance policy to any person shall provide to the applicant the current long- term care insurance consumer guide prescribed by the insurance division of the department of commerce. The commissioner of insurance may by reference adopt or permit the use of the long-term care insurance consumer guide developed by the national association of insurance commissioners, the blue cross and blue shield association, or the health insurance association of America. Delivery of the long-term care insurance consumer guide shall be made if a policy is advertised, solicited, or issued as a policy as defined in this chapter, or if it is subject to this chapter, regardless of the label applied by the insurer. Except in the case of direct response insurers, delivery of the long-term care insurance consumer guide shall be made to the applicant at the time of application, and acknowledgment of receipt of the long-term care insurance consumer guide shall be obtained by the insurer. A direct response insurer shall deliver the long-term care insurance consumer guide to the applicant at the time the policy is delivered. An insurance company required to distribute the guide shall reimburse the state for all costs associated with the guide.
