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.
