The purpose of this Chapter is to provide for the reasonable
standardization of coverage and simplification of terms and benefits of
Medicare supplement policies; to facilitate public understanding and comparison
of such policies; to eliminate provisions contained in such policies which may
be misleading or confusing in connection with the purchase of such policies or
with the settlement of claims; and to provide for full disclosures in the sale
of accident and sickness insurance coverages to persons eligible for
Medicare.
