A hardship waiver may be granted upon a finding by the Superintendent that:

There are significant technological impediments that make it difficult for the health care practitioner to submit claim forms electronically, the cost of compliance would have a significant impact on the health care practitioner, granting the waiver is warranted based on other considerations or unusual circumstances.
