serviced, and (ii) need not take |
into account the effect of the management
contract or service |
agreement on competition.
|

respect to, the
refund or additional premium are set forth |

not be less than one
year); and
|
(ii) the amount of the refund or additional premium |
shall not exceed 20%
of the Health Maintenance |
Organization's profitable or unprofitable experience
with |
respect to the group or other enrollment unit for the |
period (and, for
purposes of a refund or additional |
premium, the profitable or unprofitable
experience shall |
be calculated taking into account a pro rata share of the
|
Health Maintenance Organization's administrative and |
marketing expenses, but
shall not include any refund to be |
made or additional premium to be paid
pursuant to this |
subsection (f)). The Health Maintenance Organization and |
the
group or enrollment unit may agree that the profitable |
or unprofitable
experience may be calculated taking into |
account the refund period and the
immediately preceding 2 |
|
plan years.
|
The Health Maintenance Organization shall include a |
statement in the
evidence of coverage issued to each enrollee |
describing the possibility of a
refund or additional premium, |

calculate (1) the Health Maintenance Organization's |
profitable experience with

unit and the resulting refund to the group
or enrollment unit |
or (2) the Health Maintenance Organization's unprofitable
|
experience with respect to the group or enrollment unit and |
the resulting
additional premium to be paid by the group or |
enrollment unit.

contractual obligation of an
insolvent organization to pay any |
refund authorized under this Section.
