14VAC5-415-120: Service of process

Suits, actions, and proceedings may be begun against a self-funded MEWA offering or providing coverage in the Commonwealth by serving process on any trustee, director, officer, or agent of the self-funded MEWA, or if none can be found, on the Clerk of the Commission. If a benefits consortium offers or provides coverage in this Commonwealth without obtaining a license as required by this chapter, it shall be deemed to have thereby appointed the Clerk of the Commission its attorney for service of process. Service of process shall be made as provided for in Article 1 (§ 38.2-800 et seq.) of Chapter 8 of Title 38.2 of the Code of Virginia.
