If the department has employees who are actuaries, and independent actuaries under contract to the department, both meeting the requirements of this section to review rate applications, an insurer may generally choose between having the rate application reviewed by either employees or independent actuaries under contract to the department. The costs and expenses of reviews by independent actuaries under contract to the department shall be charged to the insurer. However, the department shall have the discretion to require a
review by independent actuaries.
Employees of the department who are actuaries and who are otherwise qualified to review rate applications but who do not meet the requirements of this section may assist an independent actuary under contract to the department.
If the commissioner contracts with independent actuaries for purposes of this section, the commissioner shall promulgate regulations to maintain the confidentiality of rate filings and proprietary insurer information and to avoid conflicts of interest.
