Coverage to eligible person who does not reside in established geographic service area not required; coverage within certain areas not required. An individual carrier is not required pursuant to NRS 689A.640 to offer coverage to or accept an application for coverage:
1. From an eligible person if he does not reside in the established geographic service area of the individual carrier.
2. Within an area where the individual carrier reasonably anticipates, and demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Commissioner, that the individual carrier does not have the capacity within its established geographic service area to deliver adequate service to additional eligible persons because of its obligations to existing policyholders. If an individual carrier is authorized by the Commissioner not to offer coverage pursuant to this subsection, the individual carrier shall not thereafter offer coverage in the applicable area to additional eligible persons until the individual carrier demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Commissioner that it has regained the capacity to deliver adequate service to additional eligible persons in that service area.
