Sec. 352b. Excepted benefits exempted.
(a)Unless specified otherwise and when used in context of accident and health insurance policy benefits, coverage, terms, or conditions required to be provided under this Article, references to any policy of individual or group accident and health insurance, or both, as used in this Article, do not include any coverage or policy that provides an excepted benefit, as that term is defined in Section 2791(c) of the federal Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 300gg-91). Nothing in this subsection applies to a policy of limited scope dental or vision benefits insurance issued under this Code. Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to subject excepted benefits outside the scope of Section 352 to any requirements of this Article.
(b)Nothing in this Article shall require a policy of excepted benefits to provide benefits, coverage, terms, or conditions in such a manner as to disqualify it from being classified under federal law as the type of excepted benefit for which its policy forms are filed under Sections 143 and 355 of this Code.
