As used in this Code section, the term "health benefit plan" means any hospital, health, or medical expense insurance policy, hospital or medical service contract, employee welfare benefit plan, contract or agreement with a health maintenance organization, subscriber contract or agreement, preferred provider organization, accident and sickness insurance benefit plan, or other insurance contract under any other name. The term shall include any health insurance plan established under Article 1 of Chapter 18 of Title 45.
  2. In all health benefit plans issued, delivered, or renewed in this state, copayments shall be reasonable in relation to the covered benefits to which they apply, shall serve as an incentive rather than a barrier to access appropriate care, and shall not work so as to unfairly deny necessary healthcare services.
