				chapter, the commissioner may reject a delegation of filing

				area in which the reimbursement agreement applies. Such reimbursement
				agreements must not cause or be determined by the commissioner to result in
				discrimination against or rationing of medically necessary services for
				enrollees with a specific covered condition or disease. If the commissioner
				fails to notify the carrier that the agreement is disapproved within thirty
				days of receipt, the agreement is deemed approved. The commissioner may
				subsequently withdraw such approval for cause.
(5) Health care benefit manager contracts and
				compensation agreements must clearly set forth the carrier provider networks
				and applicable compensation agreements associated with those networks so that
				the provider or facility can understand their participation as an in-network
				provider and the reimbursement to be paid. The format of such contracts and
				agreements may include a list or other format acceptable to the commissioner so
				that a reasonable person will understand and be able to identify their
				participation and the reimbursement to be paid as a contracted provider in each
				provider network.

These regulations implement captive insurance (chapter 48.201
				RCW) including, but not limited to, the processes and procedures for regulation
				and taxation of captive insurers by the office of the insurance commissioner
				(commissioner).
Washington Administrative Code › Title 284 - Insurance Commissioner, Office of the › Chapter 284-201 - Captive Insurance › Section 284-201-120 - Applicability and scope

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
This chapter applies to eligible captive insurers as defined in
				chapter 48.201 RCW, except for risk retention groups that must register
				pursuant to chapter 48.92 RCW and captive insurers that solely place insurance
				through a surplus line broker pursuant to chapter 48.15 RCW.

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
The definitions in RCW  48.201.020, apply in this regulation
				unless otherwise specified or unless the context clearly requires otherwise.
				The following definitions apply to this chapter and to chapter 48.201
				RCW:
(1) "Captive insurer" means an
			 entity that is wholly or partially owned by a "captive owner" and it insures
			 risks of the captive owner, the captive owner's other affiliates, or
			 both.
(2) "Eligible captive
			 insurer" has the same meaning as set forth in chapter 48.201 RCW.
(3) "Insurer" has the same meaning as set
			 forth in
			 RCW
			  48.01.050.
(4) "Principal place of business" refers to
			 the place where a business entity's management direct, control, and coordinate
			 the corporation's activities, i.e., its "nerve center," which will typically be
			 found at its corporate headquarters. Except where the parent corporation is the
			 alter ego of the subsidiary, subsidiaries are analyzed separately from their
			 parent or holding companies. For example, if a captive insurer insures a
			 subsidiary that is headquartered in Washington, then this state would be the
			 principal place of business for the insured subsidiary, even if the parent
			 company was headquartered elsewhere.
(5) "Registered eligible captive insurer"
			 means an eligible captive insurer who submitted an application that was
			 approved by the commissioner. A registered eligible captive insurer that fails
			 to properly renew its registration will no longer be considered registered
			 under chapter 48.201 RCW.
(6)
			 "Reinsurance" means a form of insurance issued to insurers.
(7) "Reinsurer" means an insurer that assumes
			 all or part of an insurance or reinsurance policy written by the ceding
			 insurer.

At times through the years, the board's grant programs have
				been closely interrelated with certain federal grant programs. For example, see
				WAC 286-40-010, Land and Water
				Conservation Fund. The result of this interrelationship is that there are many
				federal requirements imposed on the board and its applicants over which the

Many of these requirements may be found in the Land and Water
				Conservation Fund Grants Manual (National Park Service). In addition, most of
				the federal requirements are restated or clarified in the
