(a) In addition to any other notices required by law,

 an employee welfare benefit plan, must provide to each participating
 employee or former employee covered by the plan a written notice at
 the time the coverage of such participating employee or former employee
 becomes effective. The written notice must contain, at a minimum,
 the following:
(1) that individuals covered by the plan are only partially
 insured;
(2) that in the event the plan or the MEWA does not
 ultimately pay medical expenses that are eligible for payment under
 the plan for any reason, the participating employer or its participating
 employee covered by the plan may be liable for those expenses;
(3) that, if applicable, the plan does not participate
 in the guaranty fund; such disclosure must be provided in the same

 Fund Nonparticipation);

 the department as required under Insurance Code §521.005, concerning
 Notice to Accompany Policy; and

(b) The notice must also briefly explain the types
