Section 18.04.13.082 - GENERAL MINIMUM STANDARDSAn insurance policy subject to this chapter cannot be offered, delivered or issued for delivery, continued or renewed in this state unless it meets the following minimum standards.
01.Outline of Coverage. An insurer will deliver an outline of coverage to an applicant or enrollee with the sale, which complies with the model outline of coverage established by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC"), incorporated herein in Section 002.a. If an outline of coverage was delivered at the time of application or enrollment and the policy is issued on a basis which would require revision of the outline, a substitute outline of coverage properly describing the policy will accompany the policy when it is delivered and contain the following statement in no less than twelve (12) point type, immediately above the company name: "NOTICE: Read this outline of coverage carefully. It is not identical to the outline of coverage provided upon (application) (enrollment), and the coverage originally applied for has not been issued."b. In any case where the prescribed outline of coverage is inappropriate for the coverage provided by the policy, an alternate outline of coverage is to be submitted to the Director for prior written approval.02.Coverage of Dependents. A policy will consider as an eligible dependent a child who is chiefly dependent on the insured for support and maintenance and who is incapable of self-sustaining employment due to intellectual disability or physical disability on the date that the child's coverage would otherwise terminate under the policy due to the attainment of a specified age for children. The policy may require that within thirty-one (31) days of such date the company receives due proof of the incapacity in order for the insured to elect to continue the policy in force with respect to the child, or that a separate converted policy be issued at the option of the insured or policyholder.03.Limitation on Termination of Coverage of Dependent. A policy cannot provide for termination of coverage of a covered dependent solely because of the occurrence of an event specified for termination of coverage of the insured, other than nonpayment of premium. In addition, the policy will provide that in the event of the insured's death, the spouse or dependent of the insured, if covered under the policy, will become the insured.04.Continuous Loss Extension. Termination of the policy will be without prejudice to a continuous loss that commenced while the policy was in force. Such extension of benefits beyond the period during which the policy was in force may be conditioned upon the continuous total disability of the insured, limited to the duration of the policy benefit period, if any, or payment of the maximum benefits.05.Pregnancy Benefit Extension. In the event the insurer cancels or refuses to renew, policies providing pregnancy benefits will 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.06.Expenses of Live Donor. A policy providing coverage for the recipient in a transplant operation also provides reimbursement of any medical expenses of a live donor to the extent that benefits remain and are available under the recipient's policy or certificate, after benefits for the recipient's own expenses have been paid.07.Fractures or Dislocations. A policy providing coverage for fractures or dislocations will not provide benefits only for "full or complete" fractures or dislocations.08.Coinsurance. Except for out-of-network benefits offered as part of a managed care plan, a coinsurance percentage will not exceed fifty percent (50%) of covered charges. A coinsurance percentage for out-of-network benefits offered as part of a managed care plan will not exceed sixty percent (60%) of covered charges.Idaho Admin. Code r. 18.04.13.082
