Section 13.10.10.8 - MEMBERSHIP

A. All insurers admitted in New Mexico as of June 19, 1987 shall be members of this pool. Each insurer admitted after June 19, 1987 shall automatically become a member of the pool on the date of its admission. An insurer which ceases to be admitted after June 19, 1987 shall automatically cease to be a member effective on the day following the termination or expiration of its certificate of authority to transact health insurance; provided, however, that such insurer shall remain liable for any assessment based on net losses sustained by the pool prior to the cessation of its status as a member in the pool.

B. The board shall make all determinations regarding the eligibility of insurers as pool members. If an insurer is aggrieved by a final action or decision of the board, or if the board does not act on such complaint within 60 days, the insurer may appeal to the superintendent within 60 days after the action or decision of the board or the board's failure to act on such complaint.

C. Any member who is determined by the board to have failed to pay, in a timely fashion, any assessment or penalty due to the pool shall cease to be a member. The superintendent shall be advised of any insurer failing to continue its membership.
