G. Accident and Health Minimum Standards for Benefits. The following minimum standards for benefits are prescribed for the categories of coverage noted in the following subsections. No individual policy of accident and health insurance or non-profit hospital, medical or dental service corporation contract shall be delivered or issued for delivery in this state which does not meet the required minimum standards for the specified categories unless the Commissioner finds that such policies or contracts serve a valid economic and social purpose and are approvable as Limited Benefit Health Insurance and the Outline of Coverage complies with the appropriate outline in section H(11) of this Regulation. Each such policy shall contain the words "LIMITED BENEFITS" or "LIMITED OR SUPPLEMENTAL BENEFITS" prominently displayed on the first page of the policy in boldface type or contrasting color.
Nothing in this section shall preclude the issuance of any policy or contract combining two or more categories of coverage set forth in Section 38-71-540(a).
(1) General Rules (a) A "noncancellable," "guaranteed renewable," or "noncancellable and guaranteed renewable" policy shall not provide for termination of coverage of the spouse solely because of the occurrence of an event specified for termination of coverage of the insured, other than nonpayment of premium. The policy shall provide that in the event of the insured's death the spouse of the insured, if covered under the policy, shall have the right to continue coverage previously afforded by the policy and exercise any rights previously vested in the insured.(b) "Guaranteed renewable insurance" means all individual insurance which grants an insured the right to continue the policy in force by the timely payment of premiums until at least age 65 or to eligibility for Medicare during which period the insurer has no right to make unilaterally any change in any provision of the policy while the policy is in force, except that the insurer may make changes in premium rates by classes except that the Commissioner may disapprove such increase in rates if he determines that the benefits provided in such policies are unreasonable in relation to the premium to be charged after the increase.(c) "Noncancellable insurance" or "noncancellable and guaranteed renewable insurance" means all individual insurance which gives the insured the right to continue the insurance in force by the timely payment of premiums set forth in the policy until at least age 65 or to eligibility for Medicare during which period the insurer has no right to make unilaterally any change in any provision of the policy while it is in force.(d) "Nonrenewable for stated reasons only" or "Conditionally Renewable" means all individual insurance which limits the insurer's right of nonrenewal to reasons stated in the policy. The following are acceptable reasons, except that reasons 2 and 3 shall not be included in the same policy:1. overinsurance in accordance with insurer's standards on file with the Commissioner;2. discontinuance of all policies in the same class;3. discontinuance of all policies issued on the same form in this State;4. change of the insured's occupation to an occupation classified as more hazardous than the original occupation.5. any other factor which would qualify as a valid and generally accepted insurance underwriting basis.(e) In a policy covering both husband and wife the age of the younger spouse must be used as the basis for meeting the age and durational requirements of the definitions of "noncancellable" or "guaranteed renewable." However, this requirement shall not prevent termination of coverage of the older spouse upon attainment of the stated age limit (e.g., age 65) so long as the policy may be continued in force as to the younger spouse to the age or for the durational period as specified in said definition.(f) When accidental death and dismemberment coverage is part of the insurance coverage offered under the contract, the insured shall have the option to include all insureds under such coverage and not just the principal insured.(g) If a policy contains a status type military service exclusion or a provision which suspends coverage during military service, the policy shall provide, upon receipt of written request, for refund of premiums as applicable to such persons on a pro rata basis.(h) In the event the insurer cancels, or refuses to renew, policies providing pregnancy benefits, the policy shall provide for an extension of benefits as to pregnancy commencing while the policy is in force and for which benefits would have been payable had the policy remained in force.(i) Policies providing convalescent or extended care benefits following hospitalization shall not condition such benefits upon admission to the convalescent or extended care facility within a period of less than fourteen (14) days after discharge from the hospital.(j) Family coverage shall continue for any dependent child who is incapable of self sustaining employment due to intellectual disability or physical handicap on the date that such child's coverage would otherwise terminate under the policy due to the attainment of a specified age limit for children and is chiefly dependent on the insured for support and maintenance. The policy may require that within 31 days of such date the company receive due proof of such incapacity in order for the insured to elect to continue the policy in force with respect to such child, or that a separate converted policy be issued at the option of the insured or policyholder.(k) Any policy providing medical expense coverage for the recipient in a transplant operation shall also provide reimbursement of any medical expenses of a live donor to the extent that benefits remain and are available under the recipient's policy, after benefits for the recipient's own expenses have been paid.(l) A policy may contain a provision relating to recurrent disabilities; provided however, that no such provision shall specify that a recurrent disability be separated by a period greater than six (6) months.(m) Accidental death and dismemberment benefits shall be payable if the loss occurs within ninety (90) days from the date of the accident, irrespective of total disability. Disability income benefits due to accident, if provided, shall not require the loss to commence less than thirty (30) days after the date of accident, nor shall any policy which the insurer cancels or refuses to renew require that it be in force at the time disability commences if the accident occurred while the policy was in force.(n) Specific dismemberment benefits shall not be in lieu of other benefits unless the specific benefit equals or exceeds the other benefits.(o) A company may not refuse to refund unearned premiums during a term for which premiums are paid. It may, however, base the amount of refund on a mode of premium payment more frequent than that of the term paid.(p) Any accident-only policy providing benefits which vary according to the type of accidental cause shall prominently set forth in the outline of coverage the circumstances under which benefits are payable which are lesser than the maximum amount payable under the policy.(q) Termination of the policy shall be without prejudice to losses incurred for "one period of confinement", as defined, or to any continuous loss which commenced while the policy was in force, but the extension of benefits beyond the period the policy was in force may be predicated upon the continuous disability of the insured, limited to the duration of the policy benefit period, if any, or payment of the maximum benefits.(2) Basic Hospital Expense Coverage: "Basic Hospital Expense Coverage" is a policy of accident and health insurance which provides coverage for a period of not less than thirty-one (31) days during any continuous hospital confinement for each person insured under the policy, for expense incurred for necessary treatment and services rendered as a result of accident or sickness for at least the following: (a) daily hospital room and board in an amount not less than the lesser of 80% of the charges for semi-private room accommodations or $30.00 per day;(b) miscellaneous hospital services for expenses incurred for the charges made by the hospital for services and supplies which are customarily rendered by the hospital and provided for use only during any one period of confinement in an amount not less than the lesser of (i) 80% of the charges incurred up to at least $1,000.00 or (ii) ten times the daily hospital room and board benefits;(c) hospital outpatient services consisting of hospital services on the day surgery is performed, hospital services rendered within 72 hours after accidental injury, in an amount not less than $50, and X-ray and laboratory tests to the extent that benefits for such services would have been provided if rendered to an in-patient of the hospital in an amount not less than $100;

copayment by the covered person not to exceed 25% of covered charges; a deductible stated on a per person, per family, per illness, per benefit period, or per year basis, or a combination of such bases not to exceed 5% of the aggregate maximum limit under the policy, unless the policy is written to complement underlying hospital and medical insurance in which case such deductible may be increased to the amount of the benefits provided by such underlying insurance, for each covered person for at least: (a) Daily hospital room and board expenses, prior to application of the copayment percentage, for not less than $70.00 daily (or in lieu thereof the average daily cost of semiprivate room rate in the area where the insured resides) for a period of not less than 31 days during continuous hospital confinement;(b) miscellaneous hospital services, prior to application of the copayment percentage, for an aggregate maximum of not less than $1,500 or 15 times the daily room and board rate if specified in dollar amounts;(c) surgical services, prior to application of copayment percentage to a maximum of not less than $600 for the most severe operation with the amounts provided for other operations reasonably related to such maximum amount;(d) anesthesia services prior to application of the copayment percentage, for a maximum of not less than 15 percent of the covered surgical fees or, alternatively, if the surgical schedule is based on relative values, not less than the amount provided therein for anesthesia services at the same unit value as used for the surgical schedule;(e) in-hospital medical services, prior to application of the copayment percentage, as defined in subdivision (3)(c) of G.(f) out-of-hospital care prior to application of the copayment percentage, consisting of physicians' services rendered on an ambulatory basis where coverage is not provided elsewhere in the policy for diagnosis and treatment of sickness or injury, and diagnostic X-ray, laboratory services, radiation therapy, and hemodialysis ordered by a physician;
