B. Thirty days after filing the evidence required by subsection A of this section, an association is deemed to satisfy the organizational requirements of subsection A of this section unless the director notifies the association or its insurer in writing that the association does not satisfy those organizational requirements.
C. An insurer may offer a group long-term care insurance policy to a group defined in section 20-1691, paragraph 5, subdivision (d) if the director finds all of the following:
1. Issuance of the group policy is not contrary to the best interest of the public.
2. Issuance of the group policy would result in economies of acquisition or administration.
3. The benefits of the policy are reasonable in relation to the premium charged.
D. A person shall not offer long-term care insurance coverage for a resident of this state under a group policy issued in another state to a group defined in section 20-1691, paragraph 5, subdivision (d) unless the state of issuance has statutory and regulatory long-term care insurance requirements substantially similar to the requirements in this state and either this state or the state of issuance has made a determination that the requirements have been met.
E. The director may prohibit further offering to a resident of this state a policy that was issued to a group as defined in section 20-1691, paragraph 5, subdivision (c) or (d) and that was initially authorized for issuance, if the director finds that the insurer does not currently meet the requirements of this article.
