. If the director determines that an entity purporting to be
a health care service plan exempt from the provisions of Section 740
of the Insurance Code is not a health care service plan, the director
shall inform the Department of Insurance of that finding. However,
if the director determines that an entity is a health care service
plan, the director shall prepare and maintain for public inspection a
list of those persons or entities described in subdivision (a) of
Section 740 of the Insurance Code, which are not subject to the
jurisdiction of another agency of this or another state or the
federal government and which the director knows to be operating in
the state. There shall be no liability of any kind on the part of the
state, the director, and employees of the Department of Managed
Health Care for the accuracy of the list or for any comments made
with respect to it. Additionally, any solicitor or solicitor firm who
advertises or solicits health care service plan coverage in this
state described in subdivision (a) of Section 740 of the Insurance
Code, which is provided by any person or entity described in
subdivision (c) of that section, and where such coverage does not
meet all pertinent requirements specified in the Insurance Code, and
which is not provided or completely underwritten, insured or
otherwise fully covered by a health care service plan, shall advise
and disclose to any purchaser, prospective purchaser, covered person
or entity, all financial and operational information relative to the
content and scope of the plan and, specifically, as to the lack of
plan coverage.
