A service or indemnity–type contract issued by a nonprofit medical or surgical service plan corporation that is delivered, issued for delivery, or renewed in this state may not exclude the payment of benefits for injuries sustained by an insured person because the insured was under the influence of alcohol or drugs, as defined by § 32-23-1.
Nothing in this section precludes a hospital or medical service plan from excluding coverage for an insured for any sickness or injury caused in the commission of a felony.
