521F.6 Authorized-control-level event.

1. “Authorized-control-level event” means any of the following:

a. The filing of a risk-based capital report by the health organization which indicates that the health organization’s total adjusted capital is greater than or equal to its mandatory-control-level risk-based capital but less than its authorized-control-level risk-based capital.

b. Notification by the commissioner to a health organization of an adjusted risk-based capital report that indicates the event in paragraph “a”, provided the health organization does not challenge the adjusted risk-based capital report and request a hearing pursuant to section 521F.8.

c. After a hearing pursuant to section 521F.8, notification by the commissioner to the health organization that the commissioner has rejected the health organization’s challenge of the adjusted risk-based capital report indicating the event in paragraph “a”.

d. Failure of the health organization to respond to a corrective order in a manner satisfactory to the commissioner, unless the health organization has challenged the corrective order pursuant to section 521F.8.

e. Failure of the health organization to respond to a corrective order in a manner satisfactory to the commissioner after the health organization has challenged the corrective order pursuant to section 521F.8, and the commissioner, after a hearing pursuant to section 521F.8, has rejected the challenge or modified the corrective order.

2. In the event of an authorized-control-level event, the commissioner shall do either of the following:

a. Take action as required pursuant to section 521F.5 in the same manner as if a regulatory-action-level event has occurred.

b. Take action as necessary to cause the health organization to be placed under supervision or other regulatory control under chapter 507C, if the commissioner deems such action to be in the best interests of the policyholders and creditors of the health organization and of the public. If the commissioner takes such action pursuant to this paragraph, the authorized-control-level event is deemed sufficient grounds for the commissioner to take action pursuant to chapter 507C and the commissioner has the rights, powers, and duties with respect to the health organization as set forth in chapter 507C. If the commissioner takes action under this paragraph pursuant to an adjusted risk-based capital report, the health organization is entitled to the protections of chapter 17A pertaining to summary proceedings.
