(1)  include as eligible for that coverage other categories of physicians and health care providers; or
(2)  exclude from eligibility for that coverage particular categories of physicians and health care providers.
(b)  If a category of physicians or health care providers is excluded from eligibility to obtain insurance coverage from the association, the commissioner may determine, after notice of at least 10 days and a hearing, that medical liability insurance is not otherwise available.  On that determination, the previously excluded category is eligible to obtain insurance coverage from the association.
