  2. Deleting uniform policy provisions
  3. Issuing standard policies as applied for
  4. Issuing policies with exclusion riders

Answer(s): B

If a claim payment is delayed under a health policy, the insurer must pay:

  1. The claim proceeds ONLY
  2. Interest on the proceeds ONLY
  3. The claim proceeds plus interest
  4. A $1,000 penalty

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Virginia law imposes "prompt pay" standards on insurers. If a claim is not paid within the legally required time frame, the insurer must not only pay the claim amount but also interest from the date payment should have been made. This protects policyholders from financial hardship caused by insurer delays. Exact extract: "Any insurer failing to pay claims when due shall be liable for the amount of the claim plus interest at the legal rate of interest from the date payment was due." This requirement ensures consumer protection by preventing insurers from using delay tactics.

Virginia Code Title 38.2 -- Health Insurance Claim Settlement Standards.

One premium payment covers which period of time in a single premium whole life policy?

  1. One month
  2. One year
  3. To the insured's age 65
  4. The full life of the policy

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

A single premium whole life policy requires only one lump-sum payment. That single payment fully funds the policy for the insured's lifetime. The insurer places the premium into the policy's cash value account, where it grows to cover the cost of insurance throughout life. Exact extract: "Single premium whole life provides lifetime protection with one lump-sum premium payment at issue." This design is often used for estate planning or wealth transfer because the insured never has to make another payment, and the cash value builds immediately.

A valid contract requires:

  1. A written offer
  2. A company form
  3. Consideration
  4. Written evidence

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

For an insurance policy to be legally binding, four essential elements must exist: (1) offer and acceptance, (2) consideration, (3) competent parties, and (4) legal purpose. Consideration refers to the exchange of value: the applicant's premium and representations in the application, and the insurer's promise to pay benefits. Exact extract: "Consideration is the value each party gives to the other: the insured provides premiums and truthful statements, while the insurer provides the promise of benefits." Without consideration, a contract cannot be enforced.

If an individual health contract is issued on a conditionally renewable basis, the insurer has a right to refuse renewal:

  1. For any reason stated or unstated
  2. For specific reasons stated in the contract only
  3. Because of changes in the covered individual's health status
  4. When losses for the policy period exceed premiums

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

"Conditionally renewable" policies guarantee renewal as long as certain conditions listed in the contract are met. These conditions may include factors such as reaching a certain age or maintaining occupation class, but not health status or claims history. Exact extract: "A conditionally renewable policy may be nonrenewed only on grounds stated in the policy; health deterioration or claims experience may not be a reason for nonrenewal." This gives insurers some flexibility while protecting consumers from arbitrary termination.

Virginia Administrative Code -- Accident and Health Insurance Renewability Provisions.
