All blanket accident and health insurance policies are subject to the provisions of Articles 1 and 3 of this chapter. However, no policy is required to contain any of the required policy provisions set forth in Section 38-71-340. However, no policy may contain any provision relative to notice of claim, proofs of loss or time of payment of claims, or the time within which suit may be brought upon the policy which, in the opinion of the director or his designee, is less favorable to the insured than would be permitted by the required policy provisions.
