18  Registered organizations taken to be private health insurers
 (1) An organisation that was a registered organization immediately before the commencement time is taken, for the purposes of the new Act, to be a private health insurer.
 (2) However, subsection (1) ceases to apply to the organisation:
 (a) if the organisation is registered under Part 4‑3 of the new Act; or
 (b) on 1 July 2008;
whichever happens first.
 (3) To avoid doubt, section 126‑45 of the new Act applies to the organisation in the same way as it applies to a body that is registered under Part 4‑3 of the new Act.
