521F.4 Company-action-level event.
1. “Company-action-level event” means any of the following:
a. The filing of a risk-based capital report by a health organization which indicates that the health organization’s total adjusted capital is greater than or equal to its regulatory-action-level risk-based capital but less than its company-action-level risk-based capital.
b. The filing of a risk-based capital report by a health organization which indicates that the health organization has total adjusted capital which is greater than or equal to its company-action-level risk-based capital but less than the product of its authorized-control-level risk-based capital and three and triggers the trend test determined in accordance with the trend test calculation included in the health risk-based capital instructions.
c. Notification by the commissioner to a health organization of an adjusted risk-based capital report that indicates an event in paragraph “a” or “b”, provided the health organization does not challenge the adjusted risk-based capital report and request a hearing pursuant to section 521F.8.
d. If a hearing is requested pursuant to section 521F.8, notification by the commissioner to the health organization after the hearing that the commissioner has rejected the health organization’s challenge of the adjusted risk-based capital report indicating the event in paragraph “a” or “b”.
2. Upon the occurrence of a company-action-level event, the health organization shall prepare and submit to the commissioner a risk-based capital plan that includes all of the following:
a. Identification of the conditions which contributed to the company-action-level event.
b. Proposed corrective actions which the health organization intends to implement and which are expected to result in the elimination of the company-action-level event.
c. Projections of the health organization’s financial results for the current year and at least the two succeeding years, including projections of statutory balance sheets, operating income, net income, capital and surplus, and risk-based capital levels. Projections shall be provided assuming the absence of the proposed corrective actions and assuming the implementation of the proposed corrective actions. Projections shall be provided for each major line of business and separately identify each significant income, expense, and benefit component.
d. Identification of the primary assumptions impacting the health organization’s projections and the sensitivity of the projections to the assumptions.
e. Identification of the quality of, and problems associated with, the health organization’s business, including but not limited to its assets, anticipated business growth and associated surplus strain, extraordinary exposure to risk, mix of business, and use of reinsurance, if any, in each case.
3. The risk-based capital plan shall be filed within forty-five days of the company-action-level event, or, if the health organization requests a hearing pursuant to section 521F.8 for the purpose of challenging the adjusted risk-based capital report, within forty-five days after notification to the health organization that the commissioner, after hearing, has rejected the health organization’s challenge.
4. Within sixty days after the submission by a health organization of a risk-based capital plan to the commissioner, the commissioner shall notify the health organization whether the risk-based capital plan shall be implemented or, in the judgment of the commissioner, is unsatisfactory. If the commissioner determines the risk-based capital plan is unsatisfactory, the notification to the health organization shall set forth the reasons for the determination, and may set forth proposed revisions which in the judgment of the commissioner will render the risk-based capital plan satisfactory. Upon the receipt of the notification from the commissioner, the health organization shall prepare a revised risk-based capital plan, which may incorporate by reference any revisions proposed by the commissioner, and file the revised risk-based capital plan with the commissioner.
5. The revised risk-based capital plan shall be filed within forty-five days of the receipt of notification from the commissioner of the commissioner’s determination that the risk-based capital plan is unsatisfactory, or, if the health organization requests a hearing pursuant to section 521F.8 for the purpose of challenging the commissioner’s determination, within forty-five days after notification to the health organization that the commissioner, after hearing, has rejected the health organization’s challenge.
6. After notification of the health organization by the commissioner that the health organization’s risk-based capital plan or revised risk-based capital plan is unsatisfactory, the commissioner, pursuant to section 521F.8, may specify in the notification that the notification constitutes a regulatory-action-level event.
7. a. A domestic health organization that files a risk-based capital plan or revised risk-based capital plan with the commissioner shall file a copy of the risk-based capital plan or revised risk-based capital plan with the insurance commissioner in a state in which the health organization is authorized to do business if both of the following apply:
