Another form of group disability insurance is that form of disability insurance conforming to the following conditions:
(a) Written under a master policy issued to the trustee of any self-employed individuals, whether or not they have any employees, all of whom have contracts with the same publisher of a newspaper, for the performance of services for such publisher as independent contractors, offering insurance to such self-employed individuals and to all the employees of any such persons and covering not less than 10 such self-employed individuals and their employees or such individuals and their employees together with their dependents or spouses for amounts of insurance based upon some plan which will preclude individual selection by the eligible person as to the amount of his insurance coverage thereunder;
(b) For delivery to each person insured thereunder, other than dependents or spouses of an insured employee or person, there is issued to the holder of the master policy by the insurer an individual certificate setting forth the benefits and the exceptions under, and referring to, the master policy under which the certificate is issued.
Such certificates are not subject to the provisions of this chapter relating to the master policy, but the forms thereof shall be submitted to the commissioner for his approval and shall not be issued without such approval of such forms in the manner provided in the case of the master policy.
