§ 2

An insured legal services plan may be either an indemnity plan or a service plan, or a combination of both. Under an indemnity plan, benefits for covered legal services shall be paid to the insured for the legal services of an attorney of the insured's choice. Under a service plan, benefits for covered legal services shall be paid to a participating attorney for the legal services of a participating attorney of the insured's choice, provided, however, that such benefits shall be paid to an attorney for his legal services, whether or not such attorney is a participating attorney, if the insured chooses such attorney and notifies the insurer in writing before such legal services are rendered.
