19 Miss. Code. R. 3-18.06 - Certification and Enforcement

A. Based on the information managed care entities must submit pursuant to this Regulation and the Managed Care Network Adequacy Regulation, the Commissioner shall review such information and if found sufficient, the Commissioner shall issue an annual certification of each managed care plan. Such certification shall allow the managed care entity's continued operation of the managed care plan except that such certification shall always be subject to reconsideration should the Commissioner determine, in his or her sole discretion, that the managed care entity has not in fact complied with the requirements of this Regulation.

B. If the Commissioner determines that a managed care entity has not sufficiently complied with any provision of the Managed Care Network Adequacy Regulation or this Regulation, the Commissioner may institute a corrective action that shall be followed by the managed care entity, may deny certification of the managed care entity's plan, or may use any of the Commissioner's other enforcement powers to obtain the managed care entity's compliance.

C. If the Commissioner determines that a managed care entity's network does not sufficiently comply with the Managed Care Network Adequacy Regulation or this Regulation, the Commissioner shall afford a managed care entity a hearing, consistent with Mississippi Department of Insurance regulations, upon a managed care entity's request made within twenty (20) days of notification of the Commissioner's determination, before such determination becomes final.
