(3) Life insurance, endowment or annuity contracts, or supplemental contracts which contain only such provisions relating to accident and health insurance as:
(a) Provide additional benefits in case of death or dismemberment by accident.
(b) Operate to safeguard such contracts against lapse, or to give a special surrender value or special benefit or an annuity in the event that the insured or annuitant shall become totally and permanently disabled, as defined by the contract or supplemental contract.

B. The provisions of R.S. 22:973, 975, 976, 980, 1021, 1022, 1023, and 1156 shall not apply to group or blanket health and accident insurance policies, or to group or blanket policies providing only benefits to cover the cost of legal services and related expenses, including but not limited to counsel's fees, court costs, investigative fees, and expenses incurred by counsel in the investigation of matters, their preparation for trial, and trial, provided that no such policy shall contain any provision relative to notice or proof of loss, or to the time for paying benefits, or to the time in which suit may be brought upon the policy, which in the opinion of the commissioner of insurance is less favorable to the individuals insured than would be permitted by the standard provisions required for individual health and accident policies, or individual policies to cover legal services, as the case may be.
