(215 ILCS 5/356n) (from Ch. 73, par. 968n)
Sec. 356n.
Fibrocystic condition; denial of coverage.
No
group or individual policy of accident or health insurance or
any renewal thereof shall be denied by the insurer, nor shall any policy
contain any exception or exclusion of benefits, solely because the insured
has been diagnosed as having a fibrocystic breast condition, unless the
condition is diagnosed by a breast biopsy that demonstrates an increased
disposition to the development of breast cancer or unless the insured's medical
history confirms a chronic, relapsing, symptomatic breast condition.
