(1) the prepaid limited health service organization is operating significantly in contravention of its basic organizational document or in a manner contrary to that described in and reasonably inferred from any other information submitted under section 62A.4512, unless amendments to the submissions have been filed with and approved by the commissioner;
(2) the prepaid limited health service organization issues an evidence of coverage that does not comply with the requirements of section 62A.4516;
(3) the prepaid limited health service organization is unable to fulfill its obligations to furnish limited health services;
(4) the prepaid limited health service organization is not financially responsible and may reasonably be expected to be unable to meet its obligations to enrollees or prospective enrollees;
(5) the tangible net equity of the prepaid limited health service organization is less than that required by section 62A.4523 or the prepaid limited health service organization has failed to correct any deficiency in its tangible net equity as required by the commissioner;
(6) the prepaid limited health service organization has failed to implement in a reasonable manner the complaint system required by section 62A.4519;
(7) the continued operation of the prepaid limited health service organization would be hazardous to its enrollees; or
(8) the prepaid limited health service organization has otherwise failed to comply with sections 62A.451 to 62A.4528.
Subd. 2.
Procedure for suspension or revocation.
If the commissioner has cause to believe that grounds for the suspension or revocation of a certificate of authority exist, the commissioner shall notify the prepaid limited health service organization in writing specifically stating the grounds for suspension or revocation and fixing a time not more than 60 days after the date of notification for a hearing on the matter in accordance with chapter 14.
Subd. 3.
Winding up after revocation.
When the certificate of authority of a prepaid limited health service organization is revoked, the 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 the organization. It shall engage in no further advertising or solicitation whatsoever. The commissioner may, by written order, permit such further operation of the organization as the commissioner 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.
