The commissioner may suspend or revoke any certificate of filing issued to a selfinsured employer-organized association group if the commissioner finds that any of
the following conditions exist:
(a) The self-insured employer-organized association group is operating
significantly in contravention of its basic organizational document or in a
manner contrary to that described in and reasonably inferred from any other
information submitted under KRS 304.17A-800 to 304.17A-844, unless
amendments to the submissions have been filed with and approved by the
commissioner;
(b) The self-insured employer-organized association group is no longer
financially responsible and may reasonably be expected to be unable to meet
its obligations to participants or prospective participants;
(c) The self-insured employer-organized association group, or any person at its
direction, has advertised or merchandised its services in an untrue,
misrepresentative, misleading, deceptive, or unfair manner;
(d) The self-insured employer-organized association group has engaged in any
unfair or deceptive practices under its certificate of filing; or
(e) The self-insured employer-organized association group has failed to correct a
violation of KRS 304.17A-800 to 304.17A-844 or the administrative
regulations promulgated thereunder, within a reasonable time period
established by the commissioner in administrative regulations.
A certificate of filing shall be suspended or revoked only after compliance with the
hearing procedure set forth in KRS 304.2-310 to 304.2-370.
When a certificate of filing of a self-insured employer-organized association group
is suspended, the group shall not, during the period of suspension, enroll any new
participants and shall not engage in any advertising or solicitation.
If the certificate of filing of a self-insured employer-organized association group is
revoked, the group shall proceed, immediately following the effective date of the
order of revocation, to wind up its affairs and shall conduct no further business,
except as may be essential to the orderly conclusion of the affairs of the
organization. It shall engage in no further advertising or solicitation. The
commissioner may, by written order, prevent further operation of the group if he or
she finds it to be in the best interest of the participants, to the end that the
participants will be afforded the greatest practical opportunity to obtain health
coverage elsewhere. If the commissioner permits further operation, the self-insured
employer-organized association group shall continue to collect the contributions
required of participants.
