Probably will be ticketed after the crash when they find out that you do not have the correct coverage. HIPPA may prevent coverage from being tied into lic#

Although the law was passed with immediate effect, it sets out certain conditions that must be in place before someone can legally ride without a helmet.
It lets motorcyclists who are at least 21 years old choose whether to wear a helmet if they carry additional insurance.

To early to tell but I'd guess if you have a medical card that should suffice or eventually the certificate of insurance will show it just like comp or collision if you purchase medical coverage.
