(g) such other information relating to the performance of the health maintenance organization as is reasonably necessary to enable the commissioner of health to carry out the duties under sections 62D.01 to 62D.30. §

Subd. 4.Penalty; extension for good cause.

Any health maintenance organization which fails to file a verified report with the commissioner on or before April 1 of the year due shall be subject to the levy of a fine up to $500 for each day the report is past due. This failure will serve as a basis for other disciplinary action against the organization, including suspension or revocation, in accordance with sections 62D.15 to 62D.17. The commissioner may grant an extension of the reporting deadline upon good cause shown by the health maintenance organization. Any fine levied or disciplinary action taken against the organization under this subdivision is subject to the contested case and judicial review provisions of sections 14.57 to 14.69. §

Subd. 5.Changes in participating entities; penalty.

Any cancellation or discontinuance of any contract or agreement listed in section 62D.03, subdivision 4, clause (e), or listed subsequently in accordance with this subdivision, shall be reported to the commissioner 120 days before the effective date. When the health maintenance organization terminates a provider for cause, death, disability, or loss of license, the health maintenance organization must notify the commissioner within ten working days of the date the health maintenance organization sends out or receives the notice of cancellation, discontinuance, or termination. Any health maintenance organization which fails to notify the commissioner within the time periods prescribed in this subdivision shall be subject to the levy of a fine up to $200 per contract for each day the notice is past due, accruing up to the date the organization notifies the commissioner of the cancellation or discontinuance. Any fine levied under this subdivision is subject to the contested case and judicial review provisions of chapter 14. The levy of a fine does not preclude the commissioner from using other penalties described in sections 62D.15 to 62D.17. §

Subd. 6.Financial statements.

A health maintenance organization shall submit to the commissioner unaudited financial statements of the organization for the first three quarters of the year on forms prescribed by the commissioner.

(b) Every health maintenance organization must allocate investment income based on cumulative net income over time by business line or product and must submit this information, including investment income for dental services, using the reporting template provided by the commissioner of health.
