Nevada Revised Statutes Section 695B.120 - Insurance

Certificate of authority: Qualifications. The Commissioner shall not issue or renew his certificate of authority to any corporation proposing to establish, maintain or operate a nonprofit hospital, medical or dental service plan until such corporation establishes:

1. If a nonprofit hospital service corporation, that it has entered into contracts with hospitals in the State of Nevada having an aggregate bed capacity sufficient to render the services contemplated to be furnished under the hospital service plan to persons in the State of Nevada.

2. That the hospital, medical or dental service contract proposed to be entered into by such corporation with those who may become subscribers is not such as will work a fraud or injustice upon such subscribers or any person.

3. That a schedule of the rates, dues, fees or other periodic charges to be paid by subscribers has been filed with the Commissioner and the same are not such as will, after providing for such legal reserves as are required by NRS 695B.140, result in profit to, or in the accumulation of excessive reserves or surpluses by, such corporation and are such as will enable such corporation to furnish or provide the hospital, medical or dental services which it proposes to make available to its beneficiaries and subscribers without impairment of its legal reserves and without a constant depletion of the assets of such corporation. A reserve or surplus over and above all approved and required reserves in an amount in excess of the average annual gross income of such corporation for the immediately preceding 3 calendar years shall be prima facie an excessive accumulation.
