Sec. 105. Administration and enforcement. The Director of Insurance may adopt rules necessary to implement the Department's responsibilities under this Act.
To enforce the provisions of this Act, the Director may issue a cease and desist order or require a health care plan to submit a plan of correction for violations of this Act, or both.

Any person who believes that his or her health care plan is in violation of the provisions of this Act may file a complaint with the Department. The Department shall review all complaints received and investigate all of those complaints that it deems to state a potential violation. The Department shall establish rules to fairly, efficiently, and timely review and investigate complaints. Health care plans found to be in violation of this Act shall be penalized in accordance with this Section.
