2006 Minnesota Statutes

62S.18 DISCONTINUANCE AND REPLACEMENT.
    Subdivision 1. Required coverage. If a group long-term care policy is replaced by another
group long-term care policy issued to the same policyholder, the succeeding insurer shall offer
coverage to all persons covered under the previous group policy on its date of termination.
Coverage provided or offered to individuals by the insurer and premiums charged to persons
under the new group policy shall not result in any exclusion for preexisting conditions that would
have been covered under the group policy being replaced and shall not vary or otherwise depend
on the individual's health or disability status, claim experience, or use of long-term care services.
    Subd. 2. Premiums. The premiums charged to an insured for long-term care insurance
replaced under subdivision 1 shall not increase due to either the increasing age of the insured at
ages beyond 65 or the duration the insured has been covered under this policy.
