An insurer shall reduce any time period applicable to a pre-existing condition, for a policy by the aggregate of periods the individual was covered by qualifying previous coverage, if the qualifying previous coverage as defined in section 26.1-36.3-01 is continuous until at least sixty-three days before the effective date of the new coverage.
