A. Upon levy of an assessment upon its members the mutual insurer shall notify each member of the amount of the assessment as to such member by written notice mailed to the member at his address last of record with the insurer. Failure of the member to receive the notice so mailed, within the time specified therein for payment of the assessment or at all, shall be no defense in any action to collect the assessment.
B. If a member fails to pay the assessment within the period specified in the notice, which period shall not be less than thirty (30) days after the mailing, the insurer may institute suit to collect the same.
