If a state adopts its own version of these insurance rating rules, the state must apply that rule the same way to every health plan in the market it covers. This is true even for a state rule that's similar to, but not exactly the same as, the federal rule — unless the state rule is preempted.

Whenever a state adopts a standard or requirement under this title (or under an amendment this title made), the state must apply it uniformly — the same way — to every health plan in whatever insurance market that standard covers. The same uniform-application rule also applies to a state standard or requirement that relates to this title's federal standard but isn't identical to it, unless section 18041(d) preempts that state standard.

The preceding sentence shall also apply to a State standard or requirement relating to the standard or requirement required by this title 1 (or any such amendment) that is not the same as the standard or requirement but that is not preempted under section 18041(d) of this title.
