(1) acknowledges that the standard health benefit plan being purchased does not provide some or all state-mandated health benefits;
(2) lists those state-mandated health benefits not included in the standard health benefit plan; and
(3) if the standard health benefit plan is issued to an individual policyholder, provides a notice that purchase of the plan may limit the policyholder's future coverage options in the event the policyholder's health changes and needed benefits are not available under the standard health benefit plan.
