(2) The differences that relate to mandated health
benefits, underwriting standards, premium rating, preexisting

(3) That the health benefits plan is primarily governed
by the laws of the foreign health insurer's domicile and
therefore all of the rating laws applicable to individual or
group accident and health insurance filed in this
Commonwealth do not apply to the health benefits plan, which
may result in increases to the insurance premium at the time
of renewal that would not be permissible with a health
benefits plan governed by the laws of this Commonwealth.
(4) That any purchase of health insurance should be
considered carefully since future medical conditions may make
it impossible to qualify for another health benefits plan.
(5) That although the health benefits plan may provide
more affordable health coverage, the following apply:
(i) The health benefits plan may also provide fewer
health benefits than those normally included as State-
mandated health insurance policies issued by domestic
health insurers.
(ii) The insured's insurance agent should be
consulted to determine which State-mandated health
benefits are excluded under the policy.
