Sec. 31.09.01.09. Combination of Life and Health Insurance

A wholesale life insurance policy may include, or may provide by rider, health insurance benefits, in which case the policy shall contain provisions relating to the health insurance which may not be less favorable to the insured employee or member than the applicable provisions required under Insurance Article, Title 15, Annotated Code of Maryland, and under any applicable regulations issued thereunder for a policy providing similar benefits. Upon discontinuance of the policy as a wholesale life insurance policy, any health insurance benefits originally provided may not be included in any conversion privilege unless the insurer, at its option, shall so provide, in which case the provision in the policy regarding the conversion privilege shall clearly indicate the extent of health insurance benefits which may be continued after the policy ceases to be a wholesale life insurance policy.
