33-22-1517. Limitations on eligibility. An individual who purchases a policy of insurance pursuant to 33-22-1516 is no longer eligible for insurance under an association plan and is subject to cancellation of enrollment if the individual:
     (1) fails to pay the premium for the policy of insurance purchased pursuant to 33-22-1516;
     (2) changes residence from Montana to another state;
     (3) exceeds the lifetime maximum benefit provided in the association plan; or
     (4) enrolls under another disability insurance policy or plan for health service benefits. However, the individual may maintain enrollment in the association plan during a waiting period applicable to preexisting conditions under the other policy or plan. If the individual maintains the association plan during the waiting period, the association plan may coordinate the benefits with the individual's new policy or plan and the benefits of the association plan are considered secondary to the benefits available under the individual's new policy or plan.
