(a) Each professional liability insurance policy issued on a claims-made basis that is delivered, issued for delivery or renewed in this state on or after October 1, 1978, shall contain (1) a provision for the purchase of prior acts coverage, and (2) a contractual right of the insured to purchase at any time during the policy period and not later than thirty days after termination of such policy period equivalent coverage for all claims occurring during an insured policy period regardless of when made.

(b) Each professional liability insurance policy issued on a claims-made basis that is delivered, issued for delivery or renewed in this state on or after October 1, 2006, to a physician or surgeon, hospital, advanced practice registered nurse or physician assistant shall provide unlimited extended reporting period coverage without additional charge to the insured if, while the insured is covered under the policy, the insurer discontinues offering such policy in this state as a result of a voluntary withdrawal from this state and the insured (1) is sixty years of age or older, or (2) has been insured by the insurer for the five consecutive years immediately preceding the discontinuance. Unlimited extended reporting period coverage under this subsection shall be enforceable against an insurer that discontinues offering such policy in this state, provided the insured is covered under the policy on the date such insurer discontinues offering the policy. The insurer shall provide such unlimited extended reporting period coverage with equivalent terms and conditions and with an aggregate liability limit at least equal to the aggregate liability limit specified in the policy.
