Copy as parenthetical citation

1. As used in this section, “total disability” and “totally disabled” mean the continuing inability of the employee or member, because of an injury or illness, to perform substantially the duties related to his or her employment for which the employee or member is otherwise qualified.

2. No group subscriber contract for hospital, medical or dental service may be delivered or issued for delivery in this state unless it provides continuing coverage for an employee or member and dependents of the employee or member who are otherwise covered by the policy while the employee or member is on leave without pay as a result of a total disability. The coverage must be for any injury or illness suffered by the employee or member which is not related to the total disability or for any injury or illness suffered by a dependent of the employee or member. The coverage for such injury or illness must be equal to or greater than the coverage otherwise provided by the policy.

3. The coverage required pursuant to subsection 2 must continue until:

(a) The date on which the employment of the employee or member is terminated;

(b) The date on which the employee or member obtains another policy of health insurance;

(d) After a period of 12 months in which benefits under such coverage are provided to the employee or member,

whichever occurs first.
