58-40-10.10. Exclusion of benefits for injury while under the influence of alcohol or drugs prohibited--Exception for sickness or injury caused in commission of felony. A service or indemnity-type contract issued by a nonprofit hospital service plan or organization that is delivered, issued for delivery, or renewed in this state may not exclude the payment of benefits for injuries sustained by an insured person because the insured was under the influence of alcohol or drugs, as defined by § 32-23-1.

Nothing in this section precludes a hospital or medical service plan from excluding coverage for an insured for any sickness or injury caused in the commission of a felony.
