8 V.S.A. § 4036: Nonconforming policies

(a) A health insurance policy shall not contain any provision that makes the policy or any portion of the policy less favorable in any respect to the covered individual than the provisions of the policy that are regulated by sections 4029 and 4030 of this title.

(b) A policy delivered or issued for delivery to any person in this State in violation of sections 4029 and 4030 of this title shall be held valid but shall be construed as provided in this chapter. When any provision in a policy regulated by sections 4029 and 4030 is in conflict with any provision of those sections, the rights, duties, and obligations of the health insurer and the covered individual shall be governed by the provisions of those sections.
