Notwithstanding the provisions of K.S.A. 40-2203 (A) (2) (b), if an insurer or a non-profit hospital, medical, or dental service corporation elects to use a simplified application form, with or without a question as to the applicant's health at the time of application, but without any questions concerning the insured's health history or medical treatment history, the policy must cover any loss occurring after twelve (12) months from any pre-existing condition not specifically excluded from coverage by terms of the policy, and, except as so provided, the policy or contract shall not include wording that would permit a defense based upon pre-existing conditions.
