1. When the Commissioner has cause to believe that grounds for the denial of an application for a certificate of authority exist, or that grounds for the suspension or revocation of a certificate of authority exist, the Commissioner shall notify the health maintenance organization and the State Board of Health in writing specifically stating the grounds for denial, suspension or revocation and fixing a time at least 30 days thereafter for a hearing on the matter.
2. The State Board of Health or its delegated representative shall be in attendance at the hearing and shall participate in the proceedings. The recommendation and findings of the State Board of Health with respect to matters relating to the quality of health maintenance services provided in connection with any decision regarding denial, suspension or revocation of a certificate of authority are conclusive and binding upon the Commissioner. After the hearing, or upon the failure of the health maintenance organization to appear at the hearing, the Commissioner shall take action as is deemed advisable on written findings which must be mailed to the health maintenance organization with a copy thereof to the State Board of Health. The action of the Commissioner and the recommendation and findings of the State Board of Health are subject to review by the First Judicial District Court of the State of Nevada in and for Carson City. The court may, in disposing of the issue before it, modify, affirm or reverse the order of the Commissioner in whole or in part.
