17B:27-38.  Certificate
    There shall be a provision that the insurer shall issue to the employer, the  policyholder, or other person or association in whose name such policy is issued, for delivery to each employee or member, a certificate setting forth in  summary form a statement of the essential features of the insurance coverage,  to whom the benefits thereunder are payable, and in substance the provisions of  sections 17B:27-39 to 17B:27-46, inclusive of this chapter. This section shall  not apply to blanket policies issued pursuant to section 17B:27-32a(1) and  17B:27-32a(3) of this act, nor to group health policies insuring a private plan  under the Temporary Disability Benefits Law, if reasonable notice of the  benefits provided thereby is furnished to the covered employees by direct  notification or by conspicuous posting at the place of employment.  If family  members or dependents are included in the coverage, only one certificate need  be issued for each family unit.
