By Senator Jacobsen
On page 6, after line 33 of the amendment, insert the following:
"NEW SECTION. Sec. 7 (1) Every retainer health care practice
shall annually, before the first day of March, file with the
commissioner and the health care committees of the house of
representatives and senate a statement showing its financial condition
as of the last day of the preceding calendar year. The statement shall
also include the retainer health care practice's number of retainer
subscribers, number of medicaid and medicare enrollees, and amount of
charity care provided. The statement shall be in such form as is
furnished or prescribed by the commissioner. The commissioner may for
good reason allow a reasonable extension of the time within which such
annual statement shall be filed.
(2) The commissioner may suspend or revoke the retainer health care
practice's authorization to operate under this chapter if the retainer
health care practice fails to file its annual statement or pay the fees
when due or during any extension of time therefor which the
commissioner, for good cause, may grant."
Renumber the remaining sections consecutively and correct any internal references accordingly.
EFFECT: Requires retainer medicine practices to file annual financial statements with the OIC and the health care committees of the legislature.
