In the event of an insolvency of a health maintenance organization and if satisfactory arrangements for the performance of its obligations have not been made as provided for in section 4214, all other carriers that made an offer of coverage to any group contract holder of the insolvent health maintenance organization at the most recent purchase or renewal of coverage, upon order of the superintendent, shall offer the enrollees in the group covered by that contract a 30-day enrollment period that begins on the date of insolvency.

Allocation of enrollees.
If no other carrier had offered coverage to a group contract holder in the insolvent health maintenance organization, or if the superintendent determines that the other health benefit plan or plans lack sufficient health care delivery resources to ensure that health care services will be available and reasonably accessible to all of that group's enrollees in the insolvent health maintenance organization, then the superintendent shall allocate equitably the insolvent health maintenance organization's group contracts among all health maintenance organizations that operate within a portion of the insolvent health maintenance organization's service area, taking into consideration the health care delivery resources of each health maintenance organization. Each health maintenance organization to which a group or groups are so allocated shall offer such group or groups the health maintenance organization's existing coverage that is most similar to each group's coverage with the insolvent health maintenance organization at rates determined in accordance with the successor health maintenance organization's existing rating methodology.
