   3. (2) The coverage required under paragraph (b)(1) of this section shall be provided at no cost to a covered individual, including deductible payments and cost-sharing amounts charged once a deductible is met.
3. (c) Except as provided under paragraph (b)(2) of this section, nothing in this section prevents the operation of a policy provision required by this section as a deductible, coinsurance, allowable charge limitation, coordination of benefits, or a provision restricting coverage to services by a licensed, certified, or carrier-approved provider or facility.

4. (d) (1) This section does not apply to accident-only, specified disease, hospital indemnity, Medicare supplement, long-term care, disability income, or other limited benefit health insurance policies.

   1. (2) a. The cost-sharing limitation under paragraph (b)(2) of this section does not apply to a high deductible health plan to the extent this cost-sharing limitation would cause the plan to fail to be treated as a high deductible health plan under § 223(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code [26 U.S.C. § 223(c)(2)].

      1. b. If the cost-sharing limitation under paragraph (b)(2) of this section would result in an enrollee becoming ineligible for a health savings account under federal law, this cost-sharing limitation only applies to a qualified high deductible health plan after the enrollee’s deductible has been met.
