  1 10 drugs approved by the United States food and drug
  1 11 administration, whenever available and appropriate.
  1 12 This section, when a brand name drug is requested by a
  1 13 covered individual and a suitable generic equivalent
  1 14 is available and appropriate, shall not be construed
  1 15 to prohibit a third-party payor from requiring the
  1 16 covered individual to pay a deductible, coinsurance,
  1 17 or copayment consistent with subsection 3, in addition
  1 18 to the difference of the cost of the brand name drug
  1 19 less the maximum covered amount for a generic
  1 20 equivalent.
  1 21    4B.  A person who provides an individual policy or
  1 22 contract providing for third-party payment or
  1 23 prepayment of health or medical expenses shall make
  1 24 available a coverage provision that satisfies the
  1 25 requirements in subsections 1 through 4A in the same
  1 26 manner as such requirements are applicable to a group
  1 27 policy or contract under those subsections.  The
  1 28 policy or contract shall provide that the individual
  1 29 policyholder may reject the coverage provision at the
  1 30 option of the policyholder."
