A. Group policies which restrict provision of benefits and services to, or contain incentives to use, certain providers and/or facilities may provide continuation benefits which are substantially equivalent to the benefits of the existing group policy. The Superintendent shall make a determination as to the substantial equivalency of benefits, and in doing so, shall take into consideration the differences between managed care and non-managed care plans, including, but not limited to, provider system arrangements, service availability, benefit levels and administrative complexity.
B. Notwithstanding any other provision of Subsection B of 13.10.15.12 NMAC, any insured individual whose eligibility for group long-term care coverage is based upon his or her relationship to another person, shall be entitled to continuation of coverage under the group policy upon termination of the qualifying relationship by death or dissolution of marriage.
