Section 3234*2. Limitations on administrative services and stop-loss coverage  


Latest version.
  • No insurer, subsidiary of an insurer, or controlled person of  a holding company system may act as an administrator  or  claims  paying
      agent,  as  opposed  to an insurer, on behalf of a group which denies or
      limits benefits for a specific disease or condition or for  a  procedure
      or treatment unique to a specific disease or condition in a manner which
      would  be  inconsistent  with this chapter or regulations promulgated by
      the superintendent  had  the  group  purchased  insurance.  No  insurer,
      subsidiary  of an insurer, or controlled person of a holding company may
      provide stop loss, catastrophic or reinsurance coverage to groups  which
      deny  or  limit  benefits  for  a specific disease or condition or for a
      procedure or treatment unique to a specific disease or  condition  in  a
      manner  which  would  be  inconsistent  with this chapter or regulations
      promulgated by the superintendent had the group purchased  insurance.  A
      limit,  maximum, or other mechanism that controls total coverage without
      regard to a specific disease or condition shall not be deemed  one  that
      denies  or limits benefits for a specific disease or condition, or for a
      procedure or treatment  unique  to  a  specific  disease  or  condition.
      Nothing  herein shall be construed to mandate the inclusion of specified
      benefits in an employer group plan, if such plan is not subject  to  the
      provisions of this chapter.
