59A-15-15: Purpose.

The purpose of the Health Care Benefits Jurisdiction Act [59A-15-14 to 59A-15-19 NMSA 1978] is to assure the superintendent's jurisdiction over providers of health care benefits in this state; to indicate how each provider of health care benefits may demonstrate under which regulatory jurisdiction it falls; to allow for examinations by the superintendent if the provider of health care benefits is unable to demonstrate that it is subject to another regulatory jurisdiction; and to require disclosure to purchasers of such plans information as to whether the plans are fully insured.
