Organization after the merger, consolidation, or other |
acquisition of control takes effect; |
(2)(i) the criteria specified in subsection (1)(b) of |

(e) In considering any management contract or service |
agreement subject to Section 141.1 of the Illinois Insurance |
Code, the Director (i) shall, in addition to the criteria |
specified in Section 141.2 of the Illinois Insurance Code, |
take into account the effect of the management contract or |
|
service agreement on the continuation of benefits to enrollees |
and the financial condition of the health maintenance |
organization to be managed or serviced, and (ii) need not take |
into account the effect of the management contract or service |
agreement on competition. |
(f) Except for small employer groups as defined in the |
Small Employer Rating, Renewability and Portability Health |
Insurance Act and except for medicare supplement policies as |
defined in Section 363 of the Illinois Insurance Code, a |
Health Maintenance Organization may by contract agree with a |
group or other enrollment unit to effect refunds or charge |
additional premiums under the following terms and conditions: |
(i) the amount of, and other terms and conditions with |
respect to, the refund or additional premium are set forth |
in the group or enrollment unit contract agreed in advance |

additional premium is to be charged (which period shall |
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, |
and upon request of any group or enrollment unit, provide to |
the group or enrollment unit a description of the method used |
to calculate (1) the Health Maintenance Organization's |
profitable experience with respect to the group or enrollment |
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. |
In no event shall the Illinois Health Maintenance |
Organization Guaranty Association be liable to pay any |
contractual obligation of an insolvent organization to pay any |
refund authorized under this Section. |
