For all individual accident and health and group accident and health insurance policies, the insurer shall maintain reserves which shall place a sound value on its liabilities under such policies and which shall not be less than the reserves according to the standards set forth in regulations issued by the commissioner and, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, less than the gross pro rata unearned premium reserve for such policies.
