No small employer carrier may modify a health benefit plan with respect to a small employer or any eligible employee or dependent through riders, endorsements, or otherwise, to restrict or exclude coverage for certain diseases or medical conditions otherwise covered by the health benefit plan. A small employer carrier may not establish rules for eligibility for any individual to enroll under a plan, including continued eligibility, based on health status-related factors which include health status, medical condition, claims experience, receipt of health care, medical history, genetic information, evidence of insurability, including conditions arising out of acts of domestic violence, and disability.
