If a hospital service corporation or medical service corporation subscription contract provides coverage for occupational or physical therapy services, and provides both an in-network and out-of-network benefit, a service corporation shall not deny a claim for covered occupational or physical therapy services obtained out-of-network solely on the basis that a physician did not refer the insured to the occupational or physical therapist or prescribe specific occupational or physical therapy services. A service corporation may impose coinsurance, copayments, deductibles, dollar caps, limitations on the number of visits, provider network restrictions or other cost containment measures as a condition of coverage of occupational and physical therapy services for both in-network and out-of-network benefits.
