(A)(1) Within sixty days after the plan of operation is approved by the director under Section 38-71-1410, each small employer insurer shall notify the director of the insurer's intention to operate as a risk-assuming insurer or a reinsuring insurer. A small employer insurer seeking to operate as a risk-assuming insurer shall make an application pursuant to Section 38-71-1390.
(2) The decision shall be binding for a five-year period except that the initial decision shall be binding for two years. The director may permit an insurer to modify its decision at any time for good cause shown.
(3) The director shall establish an application process for small employer insurers seeking to change their status under this subsection. In the case of a small employer insurer that has been acquired by another such insurer, the director may waive or modify the time periods established in item (2).
(B) A reinsuring insurer that applies and is approved to operate as a risk-assuming insurer shall not be permitted to continue to reinsure any health insurance plan with the program. Such an insurer shall pay a prorated assessment based upon business issued as a reinsuring insurer for any portion of the year that the business was reinsured.
