33-20E-11. Submission to Commissioner by insurer of data pending arbitration.

Within 60 days of the insurer’s receipt of the provider’s or facility’s request for arbitration, the insurer shall submit to the Commissioner all data necessary for the Commissioner to determine whether such insurer’s payment to such provider or facility was in compliance with Code Section 33-20E-4 or 33-20E-5. The Commissioner shall not be required to make such a determination prior to referring the dispute to a resolution organization for arbitration. When an insurer fails to submit such data within such 60 day period, the Commissioner may assess penalties against such insurer in accord with Code Section 33-2-24 or declare a default judgment against such insurer.
