The provisions of 2 AAC 39.500 - 2 AAC 39.590 apply only so long as the plan administrator determines that a self-insured program of medical coverage is provided to enrollees. If a self-insured program ceases to exist, the plan administrator and the board will not hear appeals from denial of medical claims under AS 39.35.535 and AS 39.30.090.
