a. “Emergency medical condition” means a medical condition that manifests itself by symptoms of sufficient severity which may include severe pain and that a prudent layperson who possesses an average knowledge of health and medicine could reasonably expect the absence of medical attention to result in placing the person's health in jeopardy, serious impairment of a bodily function, or serious dysfunction of any body part.
b. “Prehospital emergency medical services” means a service or its personnel either licensed under chapter 23-27 or certified by the department of health and human services.

An insurance company, nonprofit health service corporation, or health maintenance organization may not deliver, issue, execute, or renew any health insurance policy, health service contract, or evidence of coverage that provides prehospital emergency medical services benefits on an individual, group, blanket, franchise, or association basis unless the policy, contract, or evidence of coverage provides prehospital emergency medical services benefits in the case of an emergency medical condition.
