§ 4411. Construction. The provisions of laws other than this article
shall not be applicable to the certification of any health maintenance
organization under this article except where so specified; provided,
however, that no health maintenance organization shall include in its
name the words "insurer", "casualty", "health and accident" or any words
generally regarded as descriptive of the insurance function; provided
further, that this provision shall not be construed as prohibiting the
participation in a comprehensive health services plan of any corporation
or other entity organized under any other law, to the extent that such
corporations or entities are authorized to participate by law, including
but not limited to the insurance law, business corporation law,
education law, not-for-profit corporation law, or general municipal law;
nor shall this section be considered to prevent the application of any
other law to the entities comprising such plan.
