No alteration of an application for any life or health insurance policy shall be made by any person other than the applicant without the applicant’s written consent. However, insertions may be made by the insurer, for administrative purposes only, in such manner as to indicate that such insertions are not to be ascribed to the applicant. Any change to an application for administrative purposes is an addition to an application made in conjunction with the processing of the application and does not include the altering of coverage amounts, types, options selected by the applicant, or the altering of any other information provided by the applicant.
