(a) If the commissioner determines that a health carrier has not contracted with a sufficient number of participating providers to assure that covered persons have accessible health care services in a geographic area, or that a health carrier’s network access plan does not assure reasonable access to covered benefits, or that a health carrier has entered into a contract that does not comply with this article, or that a health carrier has not complied with a provision of this article, the commissioner shall require a modification to the access plan or institute a corrective action plan, as appropriate, that shall be followed by the health carrier, or may use any of the commissioner’s other enforcement powers to obtain the health carrier’s compliance with this article.

(b) The commissioner will not act to arbitrate, mediate, or settle disputes regarding a decision not to include a provider in a network plan or in a provider network or regarding any other dispute between a health carrier, its intermediaries, or one or more providers arising under or by reason of a provider contract or its termination.
