1374.11
. No health care service plan shall deny a claim for
hospital, medical, surgical, dental, or optometric services for the
sole reason that the individual served was confined in a city or
county jail or was a juvenile detained in any facility, if such
individual is otherwise entitled to reimbursement for such services
under such contract and incurs expense for the services so provided
during confinement. This provision shall apply to any health care
service plan contract entered into or renewed on or after July 1,
1980, whether or not such contract contains any provision terminating
benefits under such plan upon an individual's confinement in a city
or county jail or juvenile detention facility.
