(7) The health maintenance organization, or any person on its behalf, has advertised or merchandised its services in an untrue, misrepresentative, misleading, deceptive, or unfair manner;

(8) The continued operation of the health maintenance organization would be hazardous to its enrollees;

(9) The health maintenance organization has otherwise failed substantially to comply with this chapter.

(b) A certificate of authority shall be suspended or revoked only after compliance with the requirements of Section 27-21A-20.

(c) When the certificate of authority of a health maintenance organization is suspended, the health maintenance organization shall not, during the period of such suspension, enroll any additional enrollees except newborn children or other newly acquired dependents of existing enrollees, and shall not engage in any advertising or solicitation whatsoever.
