What is a health insurance complaint ratio and what does it mean?
The complaint ratio (also called the NAIC Complaint Index) measures how many complaints an insurer receives relative to its market share. A ratio above 1.0 means the company receives more complaints than expected for its size. A ratio below 1.0 indicates fewer complaints than the industry average.
How long does TRUSTMARK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY have to respond to my health insurance claim?

Can I sue TRUSTMARK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY for unsatisfactory settle/offer; usual and customary | no jurisdiction; information furnished on my health policy?

Deadlines (statutes of limitation) vary by state.
