Section 89.205. Compliance procedure

Forms issued or renewed on or after November 29, 1975, shall provide at least the coverage specified in Act 81 as interpreted by this subchapter, either by amendatory rider or endorsement or appropriate revision of the form itself.

(1) The form provision shall provide that the newborn child coverage is included automatically for each newborn child for 31 days after birth and that the insured or subscriber shall have the right upon application if such is required by the insurer within the 31 day period to continue coverage beyond the 31 day period if the form provides for coverage of dependents.

(2) If the form does not provide for coverage of dependents, the insured or subscriber shall have the right, upon application within 31 days of the birth of the newborn, to convert to a form which shall provide substantially similar benefits, or to add an appropriate coverage rider to the existing form.
