(a) An application for a certificate of authority will
be processed in compliance with §1.809 of this title (relating
to HMO Certificate of Authority).
(b) After completion of the department's review of
documents, the department may perform quality of care and financial
examinations. If a hearing is held in compliance with §1.809
of this title, then the examinations must occur before the date of
the hearing. The commissioner may request a copy of the most recent
financial examination report issued by the domiciliary regulator of
an applicant that is a foreign HMO, instead of conducting a financial
examination.
