In addition to any other remedies permitted by law, if the director determines that a health carrier has not contracted with enough participating providers to assure that covered persons have accessible health care services in a geographic area, that a health carrier's access plan does not assure reasonable access to covered benefits, that a health carrier has entered into a contract that does not comply with this chapter, or that a health carrier has not complied with a provision of this chapter, the director may institute a corrective action that shall be followed by the health carrier or may use any of the director's other enforcement powers to obtain the health carrier's compliance with this chapter.
A covered person shall have access to emergency services twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week to treat emergency medical conditions that require immediate medical attention.
