510.21  Certificate of registration required.
  A person shall not act as or represent oneself to be a third-party administrator in this state, other than an adjuster licensed in this state for the kinds of business for which the person is acting as a third-party administrator, unless the person holds a current certificate of registration as a third-party administrator issued by the commissioner of insurance. A certificate of registration as a third-party administrator is renewable every three years. Failure to hold a certificate subjects the third-party administrator to the sanctions set out in section 507B.7. The certificate shall be issued by the commissioner to a third-party administrator unless the commissioner, after due notice and hearing, determines that the third-party administrator is not competent, trustworthy, financially responsible, or of good personal and business reputation, or has had a previous application for an insurance license denied for cause within the preceding five years.
  An application for registration shall be accompanied by a filing fee of one hundred dollars. After notice and hearing, the commissioner may impose any or all of the sanctions set out in section 507B.7, upon finding that either the third-party administrator violated any of the requirements of sections 510.12 through 510.20 and this section, or the third-party administrator is not competent, trustworthy, financially responsible, or of good personal and business reputation.
