(a) The commissioner or his or her accredited examiners may at any reasonable time and shall, at least once every five years, visit each health care corporation and thoroughly examine its financial condition and methods of doing business and ascertain whether it has complied with all of the laws and rules of this state. All expenses of each such examination conducted shall be borne by such corporation. The commissioner shall make a full written report of each such examination of the corporation, certified to by the commissioner or the examiner in charge of such examinations. The commissioner shall furnish a copy of the report to the corporation examined not less than thirty days prior to filing the same in his or her office. If such corporation so requests in writing, within such thirty-day period, the commissioner shall consider the objections of such corporation to the report as proposed and shall not so file the report until after such modifications, if any, have been made therein as the commissioner deems proper. The report, when filed, shall be admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding brought by the commissioner against the corporation examined, or its officers or agents, and shall be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. The commissioner or his or her examiners may at any time testify and offer other proper evidence as to information secured during the course of an examination, whether or not a written report of the examination has at that time been either made, served or filed in the commissioner's office.
(b) For such purposes the commissioner, his or her deputies and employees shall have free access to all books, records, papers, documents and correspondence of any such corporation and such books, records, papers, documents and records shall be and remain in the State of West Virginia. The licenses of said corporation shall be automatically revoked if such books, records, papers, documents and records are taken outside the State of West Virginia without the prior written approval of the commissioner.
(c) The commissioner shall revoke the license of any such corporation which refuses to submit to such examination.
