                        DISABILITY INSURANCE POLICIES
    41-2143.  SERVICES PROVIDED BY GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES. (1) From and after
July 1, 1990, no disability insurance policy shall be issued in Idaho which
excludes from coverage services rendered the insured while a resident in an
Idaho state institution, provided the services to the insured would be covered
by the disability insurance policy if rendered to him outside an Idaho state
institution.
    (2)  From and after July 1, 1990, no disability insurance policy shall be
issued in Idaho which contains any provision denying or reducing benefits
otherwise provided under the policy for the reason that the person insured is
receiving health or mental health care or developmental services provided by
the department of health and welfare, whether or not the department of health
and welfare bases its charges for such services on the recipient's ability to
pay. Provided, nothing in this section shall prevent the issuance of a policy
which excludes or reduces benefits where the charge level or amount of the
charge levied by a governmental entity for such services would vary or be
affected in any way by the existence of insurance coverage.
