Sec. 38a-540. (Formerly Sec. 38-262g). Duplication of coverage under group
health insurance policies. In any case in which a husband and wife are employed by
the same employer and, by reason of their employment, are both eligible for coverage
under the terms of any health insurance policy issued under a group plan and by an
insurance company, hospital or medical service corporation, health care center or fraternal benefit society, such husband and wife shall not be required as a condition of their
employment or as a condition of coverage under such plan, to pay any premium which
does not result in greater coverage than would be provided if only one of them were
eligible to participate in such group plan.
(P.A. 79-283, S. 1; P.A. 80-248, S. 1; P.A. 90-243, S. 121.)
History: P.A. 80-248 referred to eligibility for coverage under terms of any "health insurance policy ... issued under a
group plan and by a carrier ..." rather than coverage under terms of any "accident, health or accident and health insurance
policy issued under a group plan"; P.A. 90-243 made technical changes for statutory consistency; Sec. 38-262g transferred
to Sec. 38a-540 in 1991.
