20-1403. Direct payment of hospital and
medical services
Any group disability policy may provide that all or any portion of any indemnities
provided by any such policy on account of hospital, nursing, medical or surgical services
may, at the insurer's option, be paid directly to the hospital or person rendering such
services, but the policy may not require that the service be rendered by a particular
hospital or person. Payments so made shall discharge the insurer's obligation with
respect to the amount of insurance so paid.
