Any decision of the director may be appealed. The appeal shall be in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act.(3) When the certificate of authority of a prepaid limited health service organization is revoked, such organization shall proceed, immediately following the effective date of the order of revocation, to wind up its affairs and shall conduct no further business except as may be essential to the orderly conclusion of the affairs of such organization. It shall engage in no further advertising or solicitation whatsoever. The director may, by written order, permit such further operation of the organization as he or she may find to be in the best interest of enrollees to the end that enrollees will be afforded the greatest practical opportunity to obtain continuing limited health services.Source  Laws 1989, LB 320, § 21.
