The dates for the electronic submission of the quarterly financial statements are March 1 for the first quarter, May 15 for the second quarter, August 15 for the third quarter, and November 15 for the fourth quarter.
(3) At the time of filing the annual statement required by March 1, the health maintenance organization shall pay the commissioner the fee for filing the statement as prescribed in 33-31-212 .
