§ 17B:26-16 — Optional policy provisions

Except as provided in section 17B:26-28, no policy of health insurance delivered or issued for delivery to any person in this State shall contain provisions respecting the matters set forth in sections 17B:26-17 to 17B:26-27 inclusive, unless such provisions are in the words in which the same appear in the applicable section; provided, however, that the insurer may, at its option, use in lieu of any such provision a corresponding provision of different wording approved by the commissioner which is not less favorable in any respect to the insured or the owner, if other than the insured. Any such provision contained in the policy shall be preceded individually by the caption appearing in the appropriate section or, at the option of the insurer, by such appropriate individual or group captions or subcaptions as the commissioner may approve. L.1971, c. 144, s. 17B:26-16.
