Usually, no. But it may be built into your plan -- i.e., the method of notification.
Your best bet: contact the Maryland Insurance Administration and/or Maryland Dept of Labor:

Or you may wish to consult with a private attorney in labor law and insurance matters. Try www.attorneypages.com and check his or her record at the Maryland State Bar.
