Sec. 18. (a) Except as provided in subsection (c), a limited service health maintenance organization shall maintain in force a fidelity bond in its own name on its officers and employees:
(1) in an amount not less than fifty thousand dollars ($50,000); or
(2) in any other amount prescribed by the commissioner.
(b) The fidelity bond required by this section must be issued by an insurance company not affiliated in any way with the limited service health maintenance organization, that is licensed to do business in Indiana. However, if a fidelity bond is not available from an insurance company that holds a certificate of authority in Indiana, a limited service health maintenance organization may satisfy the requirement of this section by maintaining a fidelity bond procured by a surplus lines insurance producer not affiliated in any way with the limited service health maintenance organization who holds a license issued under IC 27-1-15.8.
(c) Instead of maintaining a fidelity bond under subsection (a), a limited service health maintenance organization may deposit with the commissioner:
(1) cash;
(2) certificates of deposit;
(3) United States government obligations acceptable to the commissioner;
(4) any other securities acceptable to the commissioner of the types referred to in IC 27-13-11-1; or
(5) a combination of the items described in subdivisions (1) through (4).
A deposit made under this subsection is in addition to any other required deposit, and must also be maintained in joint custody with the commissioner in the amount and subject to the same conditions required for a fidelity bond under this section.
