The Insurance Commissioner generally oversees the filing of premium rates for individual disability insurance policies but does not set or regulate these rates directly. Insurers must file rates for approval, but the Commissioner does not have the authority to fix them. This allows for some level of market determination in setting premiums. ;

The Insurance Commissioner oversees the filing of premium rates for individual disability insurance but does not directly regulate or fix these rates. Therefore, the correct option is B: 'The rates are filed with the Commissioner, but not regulated or fixed by them.' This allows insurance companies to determine their own premium rates based on market conditions.
