        514B.17  CANCELLATION OF ENROLLEES.
         1.  An enrollee enrolled in a prepaid individual plan shall not be
      canceled except for the failure to pay the charges permitted under
      section 514B.10 or for other reasons stated in the rules adopted by
      the commissioner and subject to review in accordance with chapter
      17A.  Except as provided in subsection 2 concerning prepaid group
      plans, notice of cancellation to an enrollee shall not be effective
      unless delivered to the enrollee by the health maintenance
      organization in a manner prescribed by the commissioner and at least
      thirty days before the effective date of cancellation and unless
      accompanied by a statement of reason for cancellation.  At any time
      before cancellation of the policy for nonpayment, the enrollee may
      pay to the health maintenance organization the full amount due,
      including court costs if any, and from the date of payment by the
      enrollee or the collection of the judgment, coverage shall revive and
      be in full force and effect.
         2.  The effect of cancellation of a prepaid group plan providing
      health care services to enrollees, and the duty to provide notice and
      liability for benefits, is the same as provided under section 509B.5,
      subsection 2, for the termination of accident or health insurance for
      employees or members.
