        519A.7  PROCEDURES.
         1.  Upon a finding by the commissioner, after notice and
      opportunity for hearing, that medical malpractice insurance is not
      available at a reasonable cost for a specific type of licensed health
      care provider in the voluntary market and upon notification of that
      finding to the association, any licensed health care provider of the
      type specified in the commissioner's finding shall be entitled to
      apply to the association for medical malpractice insurance coverage.
      The application may be made on behalf of a licensed health care
      provider by an authorized agent.
         2.  If the association determines that the applicant meets the
      underwriting standards of the association as prescribed in the plan
      of operation, then the association, upon receipt of the premium or
      such portion thereof as is prescribed in the plan of operation, shall
      cause to be issued a policy of medical malpractice insurance.
