In no event is the Association obligated to cover more than:  (a) With respect to any one life or person under paragraphs (b) to (e), inclusive, of subsection 1:  (1) An aggregate of $300,000 in benefits, excluding benefits for health benefit plans; or  (2) An aggregate of $500,000 in benefits, including benefits for health benefit plans.

The limitations set forth in this section are limitations on the benefits for which the Association is obligated before taking into account its rights to subrogation or assignment or the extent to which those benefits could be provided out of the assets of the impaired or insolvent insurer attributable to covered policies or contracts. The cost of the Association’s obligations under this chapter may be met by the use of assets attributable to covered policies or contracts, or reimbursed to the Association pursuant to its rights to subrogation or assignment.  4. In performing its obligation to provide coverage under NRS 686C.150 and 686C.152, the Association need not guarantee, assume, reinsure, reissue or perform, or cause to be guaranteed, assumed, reinsured, reissued or performed, the contractual obligations of the impaired or insolvent insurer under a covered policy or contract which do not materially affect the economic value or economic benefits of the covered policy or contract.  5. As used in this section, "health benefit plan" has the meaning ascribed to it in NRS 687B.470.
