(iii) Before entering into any written agreement under paragraph (a)(i) of this section, the group or insurer shall establish terms and conditions to be required of any provider interested in entering into the agreement. In no event shall the established terms and conditions discriminate against any Wyoming provider nor shall any Wyoming provider willing to meet the established terms and conditions be denied the right to enter into any written agreement;

(iv) This section shall not be construed to expand the scope of coverage as defined by any agreement.
