AS 21.07.080. Religious Nonmedical Providers.

This chapter may not be construed to

(2) require a managed care entity, when determining coverage for health care services provided by a religious nonmedical provider, to

(A) apply medically based eligibility standards;

(D) require a covered person to be examined by a health care provider as a condition of coverage; or
