Exemption for Certain Small Insurers and Health Maintenance Organizations

(a)

An insurer or health maintenance organization that has less than $1 million in direct premiums written in this state during a calendar year is exempt from the requirement to file an audited financial report if the insurer or health maintenance organization submits an affidavit, made under oath by one of the insurer’s or health maintenance organization’s officers, that specifies the amount of direct premiums written in this state during that period.

(b)

Notwithstanding Subsection (a), the commissioner may require an insurer or health maintenance organization, other than a fraternal benefit society that does not have any direct premiums written in this state for accident and health insurance during a calendar year, to comply with this subchapter if the commissioner finds that the insurer’s or health maintenance organization’s compliance is necessary for the commissioner to fulfill the commissioner’s statutory responsibilities.
