Sec. 15.5. Conversion Privilege-Group Type Contracts.
(1) Every service plan contract of a health service plan corporation which provides that the continued coverage of a beneficiary is contingent upon the continued employment or membership of the subscriber with a particular employer, union, or association shall further provide for the right of said person to make application for an individual service plan contract under the circumstances and in accordance with the requirements set forth in Sections 367e and 367e.1 of the "Illinois Insurance Code".
