In the appointment the health care plan shall agree that any such process so served shall be of the same effect and validity as if served on the health care plan direct.

Process shall be served upon the superintendent in the same manner and subject to the same conditions as provided in Section 99 [59A-5-32 NMSA 1978] of the Insurance Code as for service of process against insurers.
