(a) Every individual or group health insurance contract, plan, or policy delivered, issued for delivery, or renewed in this state that provides medical coverage that includes coverage for physician services in a physician’s office, and every policy that provides major medical or similar comprehensive type coverage, except for supplemental policies that only provide coverage for specified diseases and other supplemental policies, shall include a provision that policyholders shall receive no less than thirty (30) days’ notice from the nonprofit dental service corporation that a child covered as a dependent by the policyholder is about to lose his or her coverage as a result of reaching the maximum age for a dependent child and that the child will only continue to be covered upon documentation being provided of current college enrollment, or that the child may purchase a conversion policy if he or she is not a college student. (b) Nothing in this section prohibits a nonprofit dental service corporation from requiring a policyholder to annually provide proof of a child’s current college enrollment in order to maintain the child’s coverage. Provided, nothing in this section requires coverage inconsistent with the membership criteria in effect under the policyholder’s health benefits coverage.
