Subsection 31A-8-501(8)(c) authorizes the commissioner to identify by rule the counties with a population density of less than 100 people per square mile, independent hospitals, and federally-qualified health centers and describe how health maintenance organizations shall use the information and provide enrollees in rural areas with a notice that includes a list of non-HMO contracted medical providers they can use per certain requirements.
