§ 83-9-25. Examination and return of policy.
 

Every individual accident and health policy or service contract, except travel or nonrenewable accident policies, issued for delivery in the State of Mississippi on or after July 1, 1971, by an insurance company, nonprofit hospital service plan, or medical service corporation shall have printed thereon or attached thereto a notice stating, in substance, that the person to whom the policy or contract is issued shall be permitted to return the policy or contract within not less than ten (10) days of its delivery to said purchaser and to have the premium paid refunded if, after examination of the policy or contract, the purchaser is not satisfied with it for any reason. If a policyholder or purchaser, pursuant to such notice, returns the policy or service contract to the insurance company or association at its home or branch office or to the agent through whom it was purchased, it shall be void from the beginning, and the parties shall be in the same position as if no policy or service contract had been issued.
