The provision shall only be included in the converted policy if the converted policy also provides for a premium decrease or refund that reflects the reduction in benefits payable.
Ins 3.455(7)(i)(i) A converted policy may provide that the benefits payable under the converted policy, together with the benefits payable under the group policy from which conversion is made, may not exceed those that would have been payable had the individual’s coverage under the group policy remained in force and effect.
