  • Permits plans and policies to apply copayment and deductible provisions and does not extend coverage to services furnished by nonparticipating providers unless referred by a participating provider.

  • Exempts specialized health insurance, Medicare supplement insurance, short-term limited duration health insurance, CHAMPUS supplement insurance, TRI-CARE supplement insurance, hospital indemnity, accident-only, and specified disease insurance from coverage requirements.
