Section 415-A:5 Preexisting Conditions.
I. If an insurer or a nonprofit hospital or medical service association elects to use a simplified application form for a policy other than a Medicare supplement policy, with or without a question as to the applicant's health at the time of application, but without any questions concerning the insured's health history or medical treatment history, the policy, 9 months after the date of enrollment, must cover any loss occurring from any preexisting condition not specifically excluded from coverage by terms of the policy and, except as so provided, the policy shall not include wording that would permit a defense based upon preexisting conditions.
II. [Repealed.]
