(3) the benefits of the policy are reasonable in relation to the premiums charged.

(c) Group life insurance coverage may not be offered in Indiana by an insurer under a policy that was issued in another state unless Indiana or another state having requirements substantially similar to those contained in subsection (b) has made a determination that the policy meets those requirements.

(d) The premium for a policy described in subsection (a) must be paid either from the policyholder's funds, from funds contributed by the covered persons, or from both sources of funds.

(e) An insurer may exclude or limit the coverage under a policy described in subsection (a) on any person as to whom evidence of individual insurability is not satisfactory to the insurer.
