No health care plan shall make or issue any health care expense payments contract or certificate therefor unless it has first filed with the superintendent a copy of the form of the proposed contract or certificate and a copy of all applications, riders and endorsements to be used in connection with or for renewal thereof, and the same have been approved by the superintendent. If the superintendent finds that the proposed forms are in compliance with applicable requirements of this article and are not to be disapproved by him as stated below, he shall approve the forms. The superintendent may disapprove any such form on any of the grounds for disapproval of a health insurance policy under Section 344 [59A-18-14 NMSA 1978] of the Insurance Code. The superintendent shall notify the health care plan of his approval or disapproval within thirty (30) days after such filing, or within sixty (60) days after such filing if he so extends the time; and if the superintendent fails to act within such period the form shall be deemed approved.

History: Laws 1984, ch. 127, § 879.23.
