Nevada Revised Statutes Title 57. Insurance § 695B.1944. Required provision concerning coverage for employee or member on leave without pay as result of total disability

1. As used in this section, “total disability” and “totally disabled” mean the continuing inability of the employee or member, because of an injury or illness, to perform substantially the duties related to his or her employment for which the employee or member is otherwise qualified.

The coverage must be for any injury or illness suffered by the employee or member which is not related to the total disability or for any injury or illness suffered by a dependent of the employee or member. The coverage for such injury or illness must be equal to or greater than the coverage otherwise provided by the policy.

3. The coverage required pursuant to subsection 2 must continue until:
