All information, documents, and copies thereof obtained by or disclosed to the Insurance Commissioner or any other person in the course of an examination or investigation made pursuant to 23-63-516 and all information reported pursuant to 23-63-514 shall be given confidential treatment and shall not be subject to subpoena and shall not be made public by the commissioner, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, or any other person, except to insurance departments of other states. The information, documents, and copies thereof shall not be subject to subpoena or be made public without the prior written consent of the insurer to which it pertains unless the commissioner, after giving notice and opportunity to be heard to the insurer and its affiliates who would be affected thereby, determines that the interests of policyholders, shareholders, or the public will be served by the publication thereof. In that event, the commissioner may publish all or any part thereof in such a manner as he or she may deem appropriate.
