Latest version.

1(1) 2The board of directors of the plan shall consist of not less than five or more than nine persons serving terms as established in the plan of operation. The department shall approve and appoint to the board persons recommended by the member HMOs. In the event the department finds that any recommended person does not meet the qualifications for service on the board, the department shall request the member HMOs to recommend another person. Each member shall serve for a 4-year term and may be reappointed, except that terms may be staggered as defined in the plan of operation. Vacancies on the board shall be filled for the remaining period of the term in the same manner as initial appointments. In determining voting rights, each HMO is entitled to vote on the basis of cumulative weighted voting based on the net written premium for non-Medicare and non-Medicaid policies.
150(2) 151In appointing members to the board, the department shall consider, among other things, whether all member HMOs are fairly represented.
171(3) 172Members of the board may be reimbursed from the assets of the plan for expenses incurred by them as members of the board of directors, but members of the board shall not otherwise be compensated by the plan for their services.
213(4) 214The board of directors shall elect one of its members as chair.
226(5) 227The board may contract with an administrator to carry out the provisions of this part; however, this shall not relieve the board of its duties and obligations under this part.
257(6) 258The board shall collect assessments from all HMOs as set forth in this part.
272(7) 273Subject to the approval of the department, the board shall designate one representative to serve as a member of the board of directors of the Florida Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Association pursuant to s. 308631.716(1)309.
