Who is responsible for assembling the policy forms for insureds?

• A. Policyholders
• B. Regulators
• C. Insurance carriers
• D. Agents

Answer: (C)

Policy forms are created by the insurance carrier because they design and offer the contract terms, benefits, and exclusions for each product. The carrier drafts the base policy and any riders or endorsements, then files these forms with state regulators for approval to ensure they meet the law. Regulators oversee and approve but do not draft or assemble the forms. Agents assist with sales and explanation but do not prepare the official contract documents. Policyholders do not assemble forms.
