1. There may be a provision as follows:

or, in lieu thereof:

2. The foregoing policy provisions may be inserted in all policies providing hospital, surgical, medical or major medical benefits for which the application includes a question as to other coverages subject to this provision. If the policy provision stated in subsection 1 is included in a policy which also contains the policy provision stated in NRS 689A.240, there shall be added to the caption of the provision stated in subsection 1 of the phrase “expense-incurred benefits.” The insurer may make this provision applicable to either or both:

(a) Other valid coverage with other insurers; and

(b) Other valid coverage with the same insurer.

Ê The insurer shall include in this provision a definition of “other valid coverage” approved as to form by the Commissioner. Such term may include hospital, surgical, medical or major medical benefits provided by individual or family-type coverage, government programs or workers’ compensation. Such term shall not include any automobile medical payments or third-party liability coverage. The insurer shall not include a subrogation clause in the policy. The insurer may require, as part of the proof of claim, the information necessary to administer this provision.

3. If by application of any of the foregoing provisions the insurer effects a material reduction of benefits otherwise payable under the policy, the insurer shall refund to the insured any premium unearned on the policy by reason of such reduction of coverage during the policy year current and that next preceding at the time the loss commenced, subject to the insurer’s right to provide in the policy that no such reduction of benefits or refund will be made unless the unearned premium to be so refunded amounts to $5 or such larger sum as the insurer may so specify.
