Idaho State Statutes - Idaho Attorney Directory

(1) From and after
July 1, 1990, no hospital or professional service corporation subscriber's
contract shall be issued in Idaho which excludes from coverage services
rendered the subscriber while a resident in an Idaho state institution,
provided the services to the subscriber would be covered by the contract if
rendered to him outside an Idaho state institution.
(2) From and after July 1, 1990, no hospital or professional service
corporation subscriber's contract may contain any provision denying or
reducing benefits otherwise provided under the policy for the reason that the
person insured is receiving health or mental health care or developmental
services provided by the department of health and welfare, whether or not the
department of health and welfare bases its charges for such services on the
recipient's ability to pay. Provided, nothing in this section shall prevent
the issuance of a contract which excludes or reduces benefits where the charge
level or amount of the charge levied by a governmental entity for such
services would vary or be affected in any way by the existence of coverage
under a hospital or professional service corporation subscriber contract.
