An insurer, hospital or medical service corporation, or a fraternal benefit society that delivers or issues for delivery a long-term care insurance policy may not

(1) cancel, fail to renew, or otherwise terminate the policy on the grounds of age or deterioration of the mental or physical health of the insured or certificate holder;
(2) include a provision requiring a new waiting period in the event existing coverage is converted to or replaced by a new or another form of health insurance within the same company, unless there is an increase in benefits voluntarily selected by the insured; or
(3) provide coverage only for skilled nursing care, or provide significantly more coverage for skilled care in a facility than is provided for coverage for lower levels of care; evaluation of the coverage provided under this paragraph must be based on the number of days of coverage provided for lower levels of care, when compared to the number of days of coverage provided for skilled care.
