62L.10 SUPERVISION BY COMMISSIONER.

Subdivision 1.Reports.

A health carrier doing business in the small employer market shall file by April 1 of each year an annual actuarial opinion with the commissioner certifying that the health carrier complied with the underwriting and rating requirements of this chapter during the preceding year and that the rating methods used by the health carrier were actuarially sound. A health carrier shall retain a copy of the opinion at its principal place of business.

Subd. 2.Records.

A health carrier doing business in the small employer market shall maintain at its principal place of business a complete and detailed description of its rating practices and renewal underwriting practices, including information and documentation that demonstrate that its rating methods and practices are based upon commonly accepted actuarial assumptions and are in accordance with sound actuarial principles.

Subd. 3.Submissions to commissioner.

Subsequent to the annual filing, the commissioner may request information and documentation from a health carrier describing its rating practices and renewal underwriting practices, including information and documentation that demonstrates that a health carrier's rating methods and practices are in accordance with sound actuarial principles and the requirements of this chapter. Except in cases of violations of this chapter or of another chapter, information received by the commissioner as provided under this subdivision is nonpublic.

Subd. 4.Review of premium rates.

The commissioner shall regulate premium rates charged or proposed to be charged by all health carriers in the small employer market under section 62A.02. The commissioner of health has, with respect to carriers under that commissioner's jurisdiction, all of the powers of the commissioner of commerce under that section.

Subd. 5.Transitional practices.

The commissioner shall disapprove index rates, premium variations, or other practices of a health carrier if they violate the spirit of this chapter and are the result of practices engaged in by the health carrier between April 23, 1992, and July 1, 1993, where the practices engaged in were carried out for the purpose of evading the spirit of this chapter. Each health carrier shall report to the commissioner, within 30 days and on a form prescribed by the commissioner, each cancellation, nonrenewal, or other termination of coverage of a small employer between April 23, 1992, and June 30, 1993. The health carrier shall provide any related information requested by the commissioner within the time specified in the request. Any health carrier that engages in a practice of terminating or inducing termination of coverage of small employers in order to evade the effects of Laws 1992, chapter 549, is guilty of an unfair method of competition and an unfair or deceptive act or practice in the business of insurance and is subject to the remedies provided in sections 72A.17 to 72A.32.
