Description

Group accident and sickness insurance coverage; minimum number of covered persons.  Provides that a decrease in the number of persons covered by a group accident and sickness insurance policy to fewer persons than the minimum group size, during the term of the policy, will not constitute grounds for the insurer to cancel the policy or otherwise affect the policy with regard to any remaining covered person. Currently, a group accident and sickness insurance policy is required to cover at least two persons other than spouses or minor children, unless the spouse or minor child is an eligible employee.
