Ambulatory care centers are most often used by patients who require:

  1. Physical therapy
  2. Wellness centers
  3. Outpatient surgical procedures
  4. Overnight accommodations

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Virginia Code § 38.2-3407 et seq. covers health services, where ambulatory care centers (e.g., outpatient clinics) specialize in same-day procedures like outpatient surgical procedures (option C-- e.g., cataract surgery). Option A (physical therapy) may occur there but isn't the primary use; therapy clinics differ. Option B (wellness centers) focuses on prevention, not procedures. Option D (overnight accommodations) contradicts "ambulatory," meaning walk-in/walk-out care. The study guide likely defines this in a health facilities section, with examples like knee arthroscopy, making C the most frequent use.



If an agent misleads or fails to adequately disclose the title and true nature of a policy offered to a potential insured, it may be considered:

  1. Defamation
  2. Unfair discrimination
  3. Misrepresentation
  4. Coercion

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Virginia Code § 38.2-502 defines misrepresentation as an unfair practice, where an agent misstates or omits key policy details (e.g., calling a term policy "permanent") to mislead the insured. Option C fits this legal breach. Option A (defamation) involves false reputational harm, not policy sales. Option B (unfair discrimination, § 38.2-211) involves unequal treatment, not misrepresentation. Option D (coercion) implies force, not deception. The study guide likely warns of misrepresentation penalties--e.g., an agent fined for hiding exclusions--making C the applicable violation.



Which is true about an adjustable life insurance policy?

  1. The policy while in force can alternate between forms of term life insurance and whole life insurance
  2. The only nonforfeiture option available is cash
  3. No settlement options are available
  4. It is a form of retirement income annuity

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Adjustable life insurance (Virginia Code § 38.2-3113.1) allows flexibility in face amount and premiums, effectively shifting between term (lower cost, no cash value) and whole life (higher cost,

cash value) features while in force (option A). Option B is false; nonforfeiture options include cash, reduced paid-up, or extended term. Option C is false; settlement options (e.g., lump sum) apply as with other policies. Option D is wrong; it's life insurance, not an annuity. The study guide likely explains this adaptability--e.g., increasing premiums to build cash value (whole life)--making A the true statement.



All of the following statements about universal life insurance are true EXCEPT:

  1. A mortality charge is subtracted from the cash value accumulations each month
  2. The policy stipulates the amount that will be used for company expenses
  3. Death benefits are taxed as ordinary income
  4. Policy loans affect the amount of interest credited to the policy cash value

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Universal life (Virginia Code § 38.2-3113.1) features: Option A is true; a mortality charge funds the death benefit, deducted monthly from cash value. Option B is true; expense charges are disclosed (e.g., admin fees). Option D is true; loans reduce the cash value earning interest. Option C is false; death benefits are generally tax-free under IRC § 101(a)(1), not ordinary income, unless an exception (e.g., transfer for value) applies, which isn't standard. The study guide likely contrasts universal life mechanics--e.g., $50 monthly mortality charge--with tax-free benefits, making C the exception.



A health maintenance organization (HMO) must offer emergency health services:

  1. Sixteen hours a day, six days per week
  2. Sixteen hours a day, seven days per week
  3. Twenty-four hours a day, six days per week
  4. Twenty-four hours a day, seven days per week

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Virginia Code § 38.2-4306 mandates that Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) provide comprehensive health services, including emergency care, as a core benefit. Emergency services must be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (option D) to ensure immediate access to life-saving treatment, aligning with federal and state standards (e.g., ACA requirements under 42 CFR § 422.113). This reflects the HMO's obligation to cover urgent needs--e.g., a heart attack at 2 a.m.-- via in-network facilities or out-of-network reimbursement if necessary. Option A (16 hours, 6 days) and Option B (16 hours, 7 days) fall short of the continuous access requirement, limiting coverage unreasonably. Option C (24 hours, 6 days) excludes one day, contradicting the nonstop mandate. The study guide likely emphasizes this 24/7 rule in an HMO benefits section, with examples like ER visits covered anytime, making D the correct standard. This ensures HMOs meet Virginia's consumer protection goals under § 38.2-4300 et seq., distinguishing them from less comprehensive plans.
