  Any life insurance company organized on the stock or mutual plan and authorized by its charter or articles of incorporation so to do, may in addition to such life insurance, insure, either individually or on the group plan, the health of persons and against personal injuries, disablement or death, resulting from traveling or general accidents by land or water, and insure employers against loss in consequence of accidents or casualties of any kind to employees or other persons, or to property resulting from any act of the employee or any accident or casualty to persons or property, or both, occurring in or connected with the transaction of their business, or from the operation of any machinery connected therewith, but nothing herein contained shall be construed to authorize any life insurance company to insure against loss or injury to person, or property, or both, growing out of explosion or rupture of steam boilers. An insurer may contract with health care service providers and offer different levels of benefits to policyholders based upon the provider contracts.
  A company insuring risks authorized by this section shall invest or hold in cash, funds equal to seventy-five percent of the aggregate reserves and policy and contract claims for such risks. Investments required by this paragraph shall only be made in securities enumerated in section 511.8, and are subject to the same limitations as provided for the investment of legal reserve, and are subject to section 511.8, subsections 16, 17, and 21.
