                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

SUSPENSION OR REVOCATION OF LICENSE (§ 38.2-5809)

The Commission may suspend or revoke any license issued to a health carrier if
it finds that any of the following conditions exist:

1. The State Health Commissioner certifies to the Commission pursuant to &#xA7;
32.1-137.5 that the health carrier or its MCHIP is unable to fulfill its
obligations to furnish quality health care services as set forth in Article 1.1
(&#xA7; 32.1-137.1 et seq.) of Chapter 5 of Title 32.1. The suspension of a
certificate of quality assurance shall not be deemed such a certification by the
State Health Commissioner.

2. The State Health Commissioner notifies the Commission that the health carrier
has failed to implement the complaint system required by Title 32.1 and &#xA7;
38.2-5804 to resolve valid complaints reasonably.

3. The Commission determines that a certificate of quality assurance issued to
the health carrier has been revoked by the State Health Commissioner, or a
request for renewal of such certificate has been denied or disapproved by the
State Health Commissioner.
