Sec. 3813.
An insurer that issues a policy that provides health insurance coverage to a person eligible for Medicare by reason of age shall provide the prospective policyholder with a Medicare supplement buyer's guide in written or electronic format, which must be furnished at the time of application, and the insurer shall obtain, in written or electronic format, acknowledgment of receipt of the buyer's guide. However, for direct response solicitation policies, the guide must be furnished with the policy in written or electronic format and the insurer need not obtain acknowledgment of receipt. This section does not apply to policies that provide accidental death benefits for travel or other accidents, or if the medical expense or indemnity payments are only incidental to the accidental death benefits for travel or other accidents.
