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 §
   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 (§ 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 § 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   to the health carrier has been revoked by the State Health Commissioner, or a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.
