(1) Each insurer offering individual or group expense incurred hospital, medical, or surgical policies or certificates in this state shall provide without restriction, to any person who requests coverage from an insurer and has been insured with an insurer subject to this section, if the person would no longer be insured because he or she has become eligible for medicare or if the person loses coverage under a group policy after becoming eligible for medicare, a right of continuation or conversion to their choice of the basic core benefits as described in section 3807 or a type C medicare supplemental package as described in section 3811(5)(c) that is guaranteed renewable or noncancellable. A person who is hospitalized or has been informed by a physician that he or she will require hospitalization within 30days after the time of application shall not be entitled to coverage under this subsection until the day following the date of discharge. However, if the hospitalized person was insured by the insurer immediately prior to becoming eligible for medicare or immediately prior to losing coverage under a group policy after becoming eligible for medicare, the person shall be eligible for immediate coverage from the previous insurer under this subsection. A person shall not be entitled to a medicare supplemental policy under this subsection unless the person presents satisfactory proof to the insurer that he or she was insured with an insurer subject to this section. A person who wishes coverage under this subsection must either request coverage within 90 days before or 90 days after the month he or she becomes eligible for medicare or request coverage within 180 days after losing coverage under a group policy. A person 60 years of age or older who loses coverage under a group policy is entitled to coverage under a medicare supplemental policy without restriction from the insurer providing the former group coverage, if he or she requests coverage within 90 days before or 90 days after the month he or she becomes eligible for medicare.

(2) Except as provided in section 3833, a person not insured under an individual or group hospital, medical, or surgical expense incurred policy as specified in subsection (1), after applying for coverage under a medicare supplemental policy required to be offered under subsection (1), shall be entitled to coverage under a medicare supplemental policy that may include a provision for exclusion from preexisting conditions for 6 months after the inception of coverage, consistent with the provisions of section 3819(2)(a).

(3) Each insurer offering individual expense incurred hospital, medical, or surgical policies in this state shall give to each person who is insured with the insurer at the time he or she becomes eligible for medicare, and to each applicant of the insurer who is eligible for medicare, written notice of the availability of coverage under this section. Each group policyholder providing hospital, medical, or surgical expense incurred coverage in this state shall give to each certificate holder who is covered at the time he or she becomes eligible for medicare, written notice of the availability of coverage under this section.

(4) NOTWITHSTANDING THE REQUIREMENTS OF THIS SECTION, AN INSURER OFFERING OR RENEWING INDIVIDUAL OR GROUP EXPENSE INCURRED HOSPITAL, MEDICAL, OR SURGICAL POLICIES OR CERTIFICATES AFTER JUNE 27, 2005 MAY COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENT OF PROVIDING MEDICARE SUPPLEMENTAL COVERAGE TO ELIGIBLE POLICYHOLDERS BY UTILIZING ANOTHER INSURER TO WRITE THIS COVERAGE PROVIDED THE INSURER MEETS ALL OF THE FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS:

(A) THE INSURER PROVIDES ITS POLICYHOLDERS THE NAME OF THE INSURER THAT WILL PROVIDE THE MEDICARE SUPPLEMENTAL COVERAGE.

(B) THE INSURER GIVES ITS POLICYHOLDERS THE TELEPHONE NUMBERS AT WHICH THE MEDICARE SUPPLEMENTAL INSURER CAN BE REACHED.

(C) THE INSURER REMAINS RESPONSIBLE FOR PROVIDING MEDICARE SUPPLEMENTAL COVERAGE TO ITS POLICYHOLDERS IN THE EVENT THAT THE OTHER INSURER NO LONGER PROVIDES COVERAGE AND ANOTHER INSURER IS NOT FOUND TO TAKE ITS PLACE.

(D) THE INSURER PROVIDES CERTIFICATION FROM AN EXECUTIVE OFFICER FOR THE SPECIFIC INSURER OR AFFILIATE OF THE INSURER WISHING TO UTILIZE THIS OPTION. THIS CERTIFICATION SHALL IDENTIFY THE PROCESS PROVIDED IN SUBDIVISIONS (A) THROUGH (C) AND SHALL CLEARLY STATE THAT THE INSURER UNDERSTANDS THAT THE COMMISSIONER MAY VOID THIS ARRANGEMENT IF THE AFFILIATE FAILS TO ENSURE THAT ELIGIBLE POLICYHOLDERS ARE IMMEDIATELY OFFERED MEDICARE SUPPLEMENTAL POLICIES.

(E) THE INSURER CERTIFIES TO THE COMMISSIONER THAT IT IS IN THE PROCESS OF DISCONTINUING IN MICHIGAN ITS OFFERING OF INDIVIDUAL OR GROUP EXPENSE INCURRED HOSPITAL, MEDICAL, OR SURGICAL POLICIES OR CERTIFICATES.".
