For purposes of this chapter, a public health plan is any plan established or maintained by a state, the U.S. government, a foreign country, or any political subdivision of a state, the U.S. government, or a foreign country that provides health coverage to individuals who are enrolled in the plan.
The term, public health plan, includes coverage provided for under the public health system of a foreign country. For purposes of eligibility under SDCL 58-17-85, coverage provided under the public health system of a foreign country as a public health plan may not be the person's last coverage unless the public health plan also constitutes a group health plan.
