Tennessee Code Title 56. Insurance § 56-11-206

(a) An insurer or health maintenance organization shall be exempt from the requirements of this part, if:

(b) If an insurer or health maintenance organization qualifies for exemption pursuant to subdivision (a)(1), but the insurance group of which the insurer or health maintenance organization is a member does not qualify for exemption pursuant to subdivision (a)(2), then the ORSA Summary Report that may be required pursuant to § 56-11-205 shall include every insurer or health maintenance organization within the insurance group. This requirement may be satisfied by the submission of more than one (1) ORSA Summary Report for any combination of insurers or health maintenance organizations; provided, that any combination of reports includes every insurer or health maintenance organization within the insurance group.

(c) If an insurer or health maintenance organization does not qualify for exemption pursuant to subdivision (a)(1), but the insurance group of which it is a member qualifies for exemption pursuant to subdivision (a)(2), then the only ORSA Summary Report that may be required pursuant to § 56-11-205 shall be the report applicable to that insurer or health maintenance organization.

(d) An insurer or health maintenance organization that does not qualify for exemption pursuant to subsection (a) may apply to the commissioner for a waiver from the requirements of this part based upon unique circumstances. In deciding whether to grant the insurer's or health maintenance organization's request for waiver, the commissioner may consider the type and volume of business written, ownership and organizational structure, and any other factor the commissioner considers relevant to the insurer or health maintenance organization or insurance group of which the insurer or health maintenance organization is a member. If the insurer or health maintenance organization is part of an insurance group with insurers or health maintenance organizations domiciled in more than one (1) state, the commissioner shall coordinate with the lead state commissioner and with the other domiciliary commissioners in considering whether to grant the insurer's or health maintenance organization’s request for a waiver.

(e) Notwithstanding the exemptions stated in this section, the commissioner may require that:

(f) If an insurer or health maintenance organization that qualifies for an exemption pursuant to subsection (a) subsequently no longer qualifies for that exemption due to changes in premium as reflected in the insurer's or health maintenance organization’s most recent annual statement or in the most recent annual statements of the insurers or health maintenance organizations within the insurance group of which the insurer or health maintenance organization is a member, the insurer or health maintenance organization shall have one (1) year following the year the threshold is exceeded to comply with the requirements of this part.
