- A HCSC may authorize a third-party filer to file forms or rates on its behalf. For the purposes of this section, a "third-party filer" means a person or entity in the business of providing regulatory compliance services.(1) If an HCSC delegates filing authority to a third-party filer, each filing must include a letter as supporting documentation signed by an officer of the HCSC authorizing the third-party filer to make filings on behalf of the HCSC.(2) The HCSC may not delegate responsibility for the content of a filing to a third-party filer. The commissioner considers errors and omissions made by the third-party filer to be errors and omissions of the HCSC.(3) If a third-party filer has a pattern of making filings that do not comply with this chapter, the commissioner may reject a delegation of filing authority from the HCSC.
