(a) An insurer shall not cancel or refuse to renew coverage of a child entitled to enrollment or enrolled under this subchapter unless satisfactory written evidence is filed with the insurer by the parent or the employer demonstrating that:

(2) the child is enrolled in comparable health coverage or will be enrolled in comparable coverage that will take effect not later than the effective date of the cancellation or nonrenewal.
