    5         (o) Entities that employ 50 or more health care
    6  practitioners who are licensed under chapter 458 or chapter 459
    7  if the billing for medical services is under a single corporate
    8  tax identification number. The application for exemption under
    9  this paragraph must contain information that includes the name,
   10  residence address, business address, and telephone number of the
   11  entity that owns the practice; a complete list of the names and
   12  contact information of all the officers and directors of the
   13  entity; the name, residence address, business address, and
   14  medical license number of each health care practitioner who is
   15  licensed to practice in this state and employed by the entity;
   16  the corporate tax identification number of the entity seeking an
   17  exemption; a listing of health care services to be provided by
   18  the entity at the health care clinics owned or operated by the
   19  entity; and a certified statement prepared by an independent
   20  certified public accountant which states that the entity and the
   21  health care clinics owned or operated by the entity have not
   22  received payment for health care services under insurance
   23  coverage for personal injury protection for the preceding year.
   24  If the agency determines that an entity that is exempt under
   25  this paragraph has received payments for medical services for
   26  insurance coverage for personal injury protection, the agency
   27  may deny or revoke the exemption from licensure under this
   28  paragraph.
