Maryland Insurance Section 12-204

      (a)      The Commissioner may hold hearings to determine if accident, disability, and health insurance policies meet the requirements of § 12-205 of this subtitle, so that fraud and the issuance of insurance policies economically unsound to insureds may be prevented and to ensure that a minimum amount of benefits or coverage is made available to the policy or certificate holders.

      (b)      After evaluating the results of a hearing, the Commissioner shall, in compliance with § 12-205 of this subtitle, adopt reasonable regulations establishing minimum benefits or coverages necessary to meet the needs of insureds.
