Any effort to cancel a policy of hospital, medical, or surgical insurance or any refusal to accept premiums on such a policy contrary to the provisions of this section shall be ineffective if the policyholder makes an offer to pay the premium as and when due, or within the grace period, and one (1) offer shall be all that is necessary if that offer is refused by the company.\nThe provisions of this section shall not apply to group and blanket insurance, nor to any policy in which the insurer does not reserve the right to refuse renewal on an individual basis. The provisions of this section shall not prevent cancellation of any hospital, medical, or surgical insurance policy because of duplicate coverage providing for payment of benefits in excess of hospital, medical, nursing, or drug expenses actually incurred.","path":["Title 83.
