        514B.18  FALSE REPRESENTATION.
         A health maintenance organization, unless licensed as an insurer,
      shall not use in its name, contracts, or literature any words
      descriptive of an insurance, casualty, or surety business or
      deceptively similar to the name or description of any insurance or
      surety corporation doing business in this state.  No health
      maintenance organization or any person on its behalf shall advertise
      or merchandise its services in a manner to misrepresent its services
      or capacity for service, nor shall it engage in misleading, deceptive
      or unfair practices with respect to advertising or merchandising.
      This section does not exempt health maintenance organizations which
      are engaged in the business of insurance from regulation under the
      provisions of chapter 507B.
