Any combination of one or more health insurers and one or more managed care organizations may contract with each other for the assumption by one or more health insurers of the obligations otherwise imposed by this chapter on one or more managed care organizations. Under any such contract the responsibility for providing the coverage required by this chapter shall be with a health insurer licensed to do business in this state.
