Chapter 41 - Multiple Employer Self-insured Health Plan
Section 38-41-25. Agent, broker or administrator must give notice of transacting business.

(A) No agent or broker may solicit, advertise for, market, accept an application for, or in any way transact business on behalf of a multiple employer self-insured health plan in this State, as that term is defined in this chapter, unless the agent or broker first notifies the commissioner, in writing, that the plan is transacting or proposing to transact business in this State.
(B) No third party administrator, licensed administrator of insurance benefit plans, or insurer acting as an administrator may collect charges or premiums for, or adjust or settle claims on behalf of, any multiple employer self-insured health plan in this State, as that term is defined in this chapter, unless the third party administrator, licensed administrator of insurance benefit plans, or insurer first notifies the commissioner, in writing, that the plan is transacting or proposing to transact business in this State.
(C) The notice required by this section does not constitute approval by the commissioner of the multiple employer self-insured health plan, nor does it limit, in any manner, the administrative remedies available to the commissioner. Further, the notice does not limit or deprive any person of any private right of action under the law or the criminal jurisdiction of any law enforcement officer.
