(A) If the superintendent of insurance finds the annual statement required by section 5729.02 of the Revised Code to be correct, the superintendent shall compute the following amount, as applicable, of the balance of such gross amount, after deducting such return premiums and considerations received for reinsurance, and charge such amount to such company as a tax upon the business done by it in this state for the period covered by such annual statement:

(1) If the company is a health insuring corporation, one per cent of the balance of premium rate payments received, exclusive of payments received under the medicare program and exclusive of payments received pursuant to the medicaid program for the period ending September 30, 2009, as reflected in its annual report;

(2) If the company is not a health insuring corporation, one and four-tenths per cent of the balance of premiums received, exclusive of premiums received under the medicare program and exclusive of payments received pursuant to the medicaid program for the period ending September 30, 2009, as reflected in its annual statement, and, if the company operates a health insuring corporation as a line of business, one per cent of the balance of premium rate payments received from that line of business, exclusive of payments received under the medicare program and exclusive of payments received pursuant to the medicaid program for the period ending September 30, 2009, as reflected in its annual statement.

Each foreign insurance company, including health insuring corporations, receiving payments pursuant to the medicaid program during the period beginning October 1, 2009, and ending December 31, 2009, shall file with the 2009 annual statement to the superintendent a schedule that reflects those payments received pursuant to the medicaid program for that period. The payments reflected in the schedule, plus all other taxable premiums, are subject to the annual franchise tax due to be paid in 2010.

All taxes collected pursuant to this section shall be credited to the general revenue fund.
