The commissioner has the authority, after the issuance of a certificate of authority, to withdraw approval that the commissioner may have previously granted of any document required to be filed with the department under any section of this chapter. Such authority includes the right to require a medical service plan corporation to solicit in a manner required by agents' licensing laws, and to fulfill contracts approved by the commissioner, to utilize soliciting methods provided by this chapter, or by other insurance laws, including the agents' licensing law applying to casualty companies, or to operate in a county or counties or area different from those on which the certificate of authority was based, and to comply with other orders and regulations of the commissioner or requirements of this chapter; provided, that the contracts and practices are in compliance with this chapter and are not violative of other laws of this state. The authorization shall be deemed to be an amendment to the original certificate of authority.
