Statute Text
Extension of coverage beyond policy period; effect of misstatement of age.
If any health insurance policy
contains a provision establishing, as an age limit or otherwise, a date after
which the coverage provided by the policy will not be effective, and if such
date falls within a period for which premium is accepted by the insurer or if
the insurer accepts a premium after such date, the coverage provided by the
policy shall continue in force subject to any right of cancellation until the
end of the period for which premium has been accepted. In the event the age of
the insured has been misstated and if, according to the correct age of the
insured, the coverage provided by the policy would not have become effective,
or would have ceased prior to the acceptance of such premium or premiums, then
the liability of the insurer shall be limited to the refund, upon request, of
all premiums paid for the period not covered by the policy. [Formerly 741.170]
