Section 13.21.2.14 - ORDER OF ADMISSION

A. Periodically, after health care providers have been approved for admission into the fund, the TPA shall notify the superintendent, who shall issue an order of admission to the fund, which shall:

(1) identify the health care providers who have been admitted;

(2) state that the health care providers have qualified for admission to the fund pursuant to Section 41-5-5 NMSA 1978;

(3) specify the effective date and term of each admission; and

(4) for a hospital or outpatient health care facility for whom a base coverage or surcharge has been set, the amount of the base coverage or surcharge.

B. Duplicate or additional orders of admission shall be available to and upon the request of a qualified health care provider or the qualified health care provider's attorney, or professional liability insurance underwriter, when such certification is required to evidence admission to or qualification with the fund in connection with an actual or proposed malpractice claim against the health care provider.

C. A copy of each order of admission shall be available for public inspection at the main office of the superintendent on the day it is issued, and a copy of the order shall be posted on the patient's compensation fund website as soon as practicable. Posting the order on the patient's compensation fund website shall constitute delivery to the health care provider and any other interested person. Any person aggrieved by the admission of any qualified health care provider to the fund or by the conditions of the health care provider's admission may, within 15 days of issuance of the order, appeal the admission to the superintendent by delivering a notice of appeal to the superintendent. The filing of an appeal shall not operate to stay the order of admission or suspend the conditions of admission. The provisions of 13.21.4 NMAC shall apply to the appeal.
