when notified by the office that the plan has reached, or is expected to reach, maximum enrollment.
(c) An applicant who meets the eligibility requirements set forth in this rule may not enroll in the plan if the division has ceased enrolling new applicants as set forth in subsection (a).
(d) Persons who are members at the time enrollment limits have been reached shall not be denied the opportunity to renew their participation in the plan for the sole reason that the plan has reached maximum enrollment.
(e) A woman:
(1) who is discontinued from the plan solely because of pregnancy; and
(2) for whom health coverage has been transferred to Medicaid;
shall not be denied the opportunity to reapply for participation in the plan for the sole reason that the plan has reached maximum enrollment, if her date of application is not later than sixty (60) days after her pregnancy ends.
(f) The division shall maintain a record of childless adults denied enrollment in the plan when the plan has reached, or is expected to reach, the enrollment limit.

Individuals shall be notified in the order of their appearance on the record maintained by the division under subsection (f). The notification shall state that the individual may apply for an open enrollment slot.
(i) An individual invited to apply for an open enrollment slot must submit a completed application within forty-five (45) days of notification.
