Notwithstanding any other provision of the law to the contrary and particularly the provisions of R.S. 22:1047, no health care coverage plan shall deny coverage for medically necessary treatment prescribed by a physician and agreed to by a fully informed insured or, if the insured lacks legal capacity to consent, by a person who has legal authority to consent on the insured's behalf, based solely on an insured's life expectancy or the fact that the insured is diagnosed with a terminal condition.

B. Refusing coverage for medically necessary treatment to be rendered to an insured based solely on the insured's life expectancy or the fact that the insured is diagnosed with a terminal condition shall be a violation of this Section.
