     (b) A health plan may not be offered to any person in Indiana through a health benefit exchange unless:

(1) the form of the policy, classification of risks, and premium rates that apply to the health plan have been filed with and reviewed and approved by the commissioner under this chapter; and

(2) the insurer is authorized under this title to engage in the business of insurance in Indiana.

     (c) An insurer that offers a multistate health plan under Section 1334 of PPACA through a health benefit exchange shall file, for review and approval, the form of the policy, classification of risks, and premium rates that apply to the multistate health plan with the commissioner within five (5) business days of the date on which the same filing is made with the federal government.

     (d) This title, in conformity with PPACA, applies to a health plan offered through a health benefit exchange to the same extent that this title would apply if the health plan were offered independently of a health benefit exchange.
