(a) accident and health insurance plan in which the parent or legal guardian is enrolled, if the plan satisfies the prior court or administrative order; or

(b) least expensive plan, assuming equivalent benefits, offered by the employer or union that complies with the prior court or administrative order which provides coverage that is reasonably accessible to the child.

(2) The employer, union, or insurer may not refuse to enroll a child pursuant to a notice to enroll because a parent or legal guardian has not signed an enrollment application.

(4) The insurer shall provide proof of insurance to the office upon request.
