A health maintenance organization shall file notice, with adequate supporting information, with the Insurance Commissioner prior to the exercise of any power granted in paragraphs 1, 2 or 4 of subsection A of this section that may affect the financial soundness of the health maintenance organization. The Insurance Commissioner shall disapprove the exercise of power only if, in the Insurance Commissioner’s opinion, it would substantially and adversely affect the financial soundness of the health maintenance organization and endanger its ability to meet its obligations. If the Insurance Commissioner does not disapprove such exercise of power within sixty (60) days of the filing, it shall be deemed approved. 2. The Insurance Commissioner may promulgate rules exempting those activities having a de minimis effect from the filing requirement of paragraph 1 of this subsection.
