42. Where a group insurance contract or employee benefit plan includes coverage for the cost of pharmaceutical services and medications for a group of persons determined on the basis of current or former employment status, profession or habitual occupation, the insurer or plan administrator must provide coverage to all the persons having that current or former employment status, profession or habitual occupation.
In such a case, the insurer or plan administrator must provide coverage for all the persons to whom the members of the group are required to ensure that coverage is provided.
This section does not apply in the case of a person 65 years of age or over who elects not to become a member of such a contract.
