Section 420-A:8 Filing and Approval of Contracts and Rates.
I. No health service corporation shall enter into any contract with subscribers until it shall have filed with the commissioner a copy of the form of such contract, including all riders and endorsements to the contract and until the commissioner's approval thereof shall have been obtained. Any form of contract not disapproved by the commissioner within 90 days after the filing shall be deemed to have been approved as filed.
II. No health service corporation shall enter into any contract with subscribers until it shall have filed with the commissioner a full schedule of rates to be paid by the subscribers and shall have obtained the said commissioner's approval. The commissioner may refuse such approval if the commissioner finds such rates are excessive, inadequate, or discriminatory. For the purpose of determining the proper rates to be charged for such services, the commissioner may employ a competent actuary who shall be paid by the health services corporation for which the services are rendered.
