1. Any conservation, rehabilitation or liquidation of a health maintenance organization shall be deemed to be the conservation, rehabilitation or liquidation of an insurer and must be conducted under the supervision of the Commissioner pursuant to chapter 696B of NRS.
2. The Commissioner may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for an order directing the Commissioner to conserve, rehabilitate or liquidate a health maintenance organization:
(a) Upon any ground provided in chapter 696B of NRS; or
(b) If, as determined by the Commissioner, the continued operation of the health maintenance organization is or may be hazardous to its enrollees or creditors or to the general public.
3. In the event of a rehabilitation or liquidation of a health maintenance organization, a claim of an enrollee or of a beneficiary of an enrollee shall be deemed to have the same priority as would be provided to a claim of a policyholder or insured of an insurer, or of a beneficiary of such a policyholder or insured, in the event of the rehabilitation or liquidation of the insurer.
4. In the event of a distribution of the general assets of a health maintenance organization:
(a) If an enrollee is liable to a provider for health care services provided pursuant to and covered by the applicable health care plan, that liability shall be deemed to be a claim of the enrollee for distribution of the general assets of the health maintenance organization.
(b) A provider under contract with the health maintenance organization who is obligated by law or contract to hold an enrollee harmless from liability for health care services provided pursuant to and covered by the applicable health care plan shall be deemed to have a priority for distribution of the general assets of the health maintenance organization immediately following that of an enrollee as described in this section and immediately preceding any other priority for distribution which, pursuant to this section and chapter 696B of NRS, would follow that of an enrollee.
