§ 8 1/2 — Sale of group non-profit hospital service contracts

Section 81/2. A corporation organized under this chapter may only contract to sell a group non-profit hospital service contract to an employer if the group non-profit hospital service contract is offered by that employer to all full-time employees who live in the commonwealth; provided, however, the employer shall not make a smaller health insurance premium contribution percentage amount to an employee than the employer makes to any other employee who receives an equal or greater total hourly or annual salary for each specific or general blanket policy of insurance for all employees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a carrier may enter into a contract to sell a group non-profit hospital service contract with an employer that establishes separate contribution percentages for employees covered by collective bargaining agreements.
