(1) An insurance company may not issue a refund to a person other than the owner of the policy or certificate. (2) A long-term care insurance policy may not: (a) be canceled, nonrenewed, or otherwise terminated on any grounds other than the insured's or certificate holder's failure to pay the premium; (b) contain a provision establishing a new waiting period if existing coverage is converted to or replaced by a new or other form within the same company, except with respect to an increase in benefits voluntarily selected by the insured individual or group policyholder; or (c) provide coverage for only skilled nursing care or provide substantially more coverage for skilled nursing care in a facility than coverage for lower levels of care.
