The provisions of this section shall not be construed to require a group health plan to provide particular benefits other than those provided under the terms of its coverage or to prevent the coverage from establishing limitations or restrictions on the amount, level, extent or nature of the benefits or coverage for similarly situated individuals enrolled in the coverage.
