   41  writing, particular facts and circumstances that demonstrate the
   42  necessity of continuing the procurement process or the contract
   43  award process in order to avoid a substantial disruption to the

  363         (3)A health insurer may offer a shared savings incentive
  364  program to provide incentives to an insured when the insured
  365  obtains a shoppable health care service from the health
  366  insurer’s shared savings list. An insured may not be required to
  367  participate in a shared savings incentive program. A health
  368  insurer that offers a shared savings incentive program must:
  369         (a)Establish the program as a component part of the policy
  370  or certificate of insurance provided by the health insurer and

  372  program termination.
  373         (b)File a description of the program on a form prescribed
  374  by commission rule. The office must review the filing and
  375  determine whether the shared savings incentive program complies
  376  with this section.
  377         (c)Notify an insured annually and at the time of renewal,
  378  and an applicant for insurance at the time of enrollment, of the
  379  availability of the shared savings incentive program and the

  381         (d)Publish on a webpage easily accessible to insureds and
  382  to applicants for insurance a list of shoppable health care
  383  services and health care providers and the shared savings

  385  incentive may not be less than 25 percent of the savings
  386  generated by the insured’s participation in any shared savings
  387  incentive offered by the health insurer. The baseline for the
  388  savings calculation is the average in-network amount paid for
  389  that service in the most recent 12-month period or some other
  390  methodology established by the health insurer and approved by
  391  the office.
  392         (e)At least quarterly, credit or deposit the shared
  393  savings incentive amount to the insured’s account as a return or
  394  reduction in premium, or credit the shared savings incentive
  395  amount to the insured’s flexible spending account, health
  396  savings account, or health reimbursement account, such that the
  397  amount does not constitute income to the insured.
  398         (f)Submit an annual report to the office within 90
  399  business days after the close of each plan year. At a minimum,
  400  the report must include the following information:
  401         1.The number of insureds who participated in the program
  402  during the plan year and the number of instances of
  403  participation.

  409  accounts, credits to health savings accounts, or credits to
  410  health reimbursement accounts.
  411         4.An inventory of the shoppable health care services
  412  offered by the health insurer.
  413         (4)(a)A shared savings incentive offered by a health
  414  insurer in accordance with this section:
  415         1.Is not an administrative expense for rate development or
  416  rate filing purposes.
  417         2.Does not constitute an unfair method of competition or
  418  an unfair or deceptive act or practice under s. 626.9541 and is
  419  presumed to be appropriate unless credible data clearly
  420  demonstrates otherwise.
  421         (b)A shared saving incentive amount provided as a return
  422  or reduction in premium reduces the health insurer’s direct
  423  written premium by the shared saving incentive dollar amount for
  424  the purposes of the taxes in ss. 624.509 and 624.5091.
  425         (5)The commission may adopt rules necessary to implement
