Except in the case of direct response insurance policies, the commissioner may require by regulation that the information brochure be provided to any applicant eligible for Medicare concurrently with delivery of the outline of coverage. With respect to direct response insurance policies, the commissioner may require by regulation that the prescribed brochure be provided upon request to any applicant eligible for Medicare by reason of age, but in no event later than the time of policy delivery.
