2005 Minnesota Statutes

     62A.301 Coverage of full-time students. 

    If an insurer provides individual or group accident and 
 health coverage for dependents after what otherwise would be the 
 limiting age based on full-time student status the insurer must 
 include in its definition of full-time student, any student who 
 by reason of illness, injury, or physical or mental disability 
 as documented by a physician is unable to carry what the 
 educational institution considers a full-time course load so 
 long as the student's course load is at least 60 percent of what 
 otherwise is considered by the institution to be a full-time 
 course load.  Any notice regarding termination of coverage due 
 to attainment of the limiting age must include information about 
 this provision. 

    For purposes of this section, "insurer" means an insurer 
 providing accident and health insurance regulated under this 
 chapter, a nonprofit health service plan corporation regulated 
 under chapter 62C, a health maintenance organization regulated 
 under chapter 62D, or a fraternal benefit society regulated 
 under chapter 64B.
