(a) Every health maintenance organization shall be responsible for the assumption of full financial risk of providing basic health services to its members, except that the health maintenance organization may reinsure its risks with solvent reinsurers who qualify to transact reinsurance in this state under Code Section 33-7-14 and may enter into reinsurance treaties or agreements with such reinsurers in order to obtain reinsurance for:
(1) The cost of providing basic health services which exceeds in the aggregate $5,000.00 per member per year;
(2) The cost of providing basic health services to members when they are outside the health maintenance organization's service area; and
(3) Not more than 90 percent of the amount of which the health maintenance organization's costs for any fiscal year exceed 115 percent of its income for that fiscal year, provided that all reinsurance treaties and agreements entered into by health maintenance organizations shall under this Code section also be required to meet the same standards as would be required by this title for reinsurance treaties or agreements made by a property and casualty insurer as a ceding insurer.
(b) Each health maintenance organization shall deposit with the Commissioner cash or securities acceptable to the Commissioner in the amount of $100,000.00, provided that the Commissioner shall also have the authority to require such additional amounts of deposits as he may deem necessary to protect the enrollees of the health maintenance organization. The deposits shall be administered by the Commissioner pursuant to Chapter 12 of this title. The Commissioner shall also have the authority to waive, modify, or authorize accumulation and incremental adjustments of such deposits as he deems necessary to protect the enrollees of the health maintenance organization.
