(1) A person that proposes to operate a system of health care delivery and financing to be offered to individuals, whether or not as members of groups, in exchange for a fixed payment and to be organized so that providers and the organization are in some part at risk for the cost of services in a manner similar to a health maintenance organization, but that fails to meet the requirements of this act for a health maintenance organization, may operate the system of health care delivery and financing if the director finds that the proposed operation will benefit persons who will be served by it.
