The prevention and correction of dental and oral irregularities through the use of mechanical corrective devices is called:

  1. Orthodontics
  2. Endodontics
  3. Periodontics
  4. Prosthodontics

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

In the context of health insurance, particularly dental coverage, Virginia Code § 38.2-3407.1 et seq. governs mandated benefits, though dental specifics often appear in policy riders or standalone plans. Orthodontics (option A) is the branch of dentistry focused on preventing and correcting irregularities of the teeth and jaws using mechanical devices like braces or aligners, precisely matching the question's description. Endodontics (option B) deals with the tooth's interior (e.g., root canals), not mechanical correction of alignment. Periodontics (option C) addresses gum diseases and supporting structures, not tooth positioning. Prosthodontics (option D) involves replacing missing teeth with prosthetics (e.g., dentures), not correcting irregularities mechanically. The study guide likely defines these terms in a health insurance section, emphasizing orthodontics' role in alignment correction-- both preventive (e.g., avoiding bite issues) and corrective--making A the clear answer. Examples like braces for malocclusion reinforce this distinction from other specialties.



A spendthrift clause in a life insurance policy would have NO effect if the beneficiary receives the proceeds as:

  1. Fixed amount installments
  2. Fixed period installments
  3. Interest-only payments
  4. One lump sum payment

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

A spendthrift clause, permitted under Virginia Code § 38.2-3122, protects life insurance proceeds from creditors or the beneficiary's mismanagement by restricting access to the funds. It's effective when proceeds are paid in controlled installments (e.g., options A, B, C), as the insurer retains and distributes the money over time, preventing lump-sum dissipation. Option A (fixed amount installments) pays a set dollar amount periodically, option B (fixed period installments) pays over a set time, and option C (interest-only payments) holds the principal while paying interest--all compatible with spendthrift protection. Option D (one lump sum payment) delivers the full proceeds at once, bypassing the clause's control mechanism, rendering it ineffective since the beneficiary gains unrestricted access. The study guide likely explains this clause as a safeguard for structured payouts, noting that lump-sum elections nullify its purpose, as seen in Virginia case law and NAIC guidelines, making D the correct choice.



What is a condition for which medical advice or treatment was recommended by or received from a provider of health care service within six months preceding the effective date of an individual long- term care policy?

  1. Covered illness
  2. Pre-existing condition
  3. Long-term care condition
  4. Pre-determined risk

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Virginia Code § 38.2-5205 mandates that long-term care (LTC) policies define pre-existing conditions, typically as conditions for which medical advice or treatment was recommended or received within six months before the policy's effective date. Option B (pre-existing condition) matches this definition exactly, as it identifies prior health issues that may affect coverage (e.g., exclusions or waiting periods). Option A (covered illness) is vague and implies a condition already insured, not necessarily pre-existing. Option C (long-term care condition) isn't a standard term; LTC policies cover specific needs (e.g., ADLs), not a category tied to this timeframe. Option D (pre-determined risk) suggests underwriting factors, not a specific medical history definition. The study guide likely details this six-month lookback as a common LTC standard, with examples like a recent stroke diagnosis, emphasizing disclosure requirements and potential coverage limits, confirming B as the answer.



Which policy provision allows an employee to change from group coverage to an individual life insurance policy?

  1. Nonforfeiture
  2. Conversion
  3. Assignment
  4. Incontestability

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Virginia Code § 38.2-3330 requires group life insurance policies to include a conversion provision, allowing an employee to convert group coverage to an individual policy without evidence of insurability, typically within 31 days after termination of employment or group eligibility. Option B (conversion) directly describes this right, ensuring continued protection. Option A (nonforfeiture) applies to cash value options (e.g., reduced paid-up insurance) in individual policies, not group-to- individual transitions. Option C (assignment) transfers policy ownership, unrelated to conversion.

Option D (incontestability) limits the insurer's ability to deny claims after a period (e.g., 2 years), not a conversion mechanism. The study guide likely highlights conversion as a key group life feature, with scenarios like an employee leaving a job and converting to a whole life policy, making B the precise answer.



An individual currently owns a long-term care policy. At the time of application for similar coverage, which item must be signed by the applicant and retained by the insurer?

  1. A cancellation notice
  2. A substitution notice
  3. A replacement notice
  4. A duplication notice

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Virginia Code § 38.2-5207.1 and 14VAC5-200-75 regulate replacement of long-term care (LTC) insurance, requiring a replacement notice when an applicant with existing coverage applies for a new policy that may replace it. This signed notice, provided to the applicant and retained by the insurer, ensures transparency about potential duplication or lapse of the original policy, protecting consumers from unintended coverage gaps or costs. Option C (replacement notice) fits this requirement. Option A (cancellation notice) relates to terminating a policy, not applying for a new one. Option B (substitution notice) isn't a standard term; "replacement" is the legal phrase. Option D (duplication notice) might imply overlap but lacks regulatory specificity. The study guide likely includes a sample replacement form, stressing its role in LTC sales compliance, confirming C as the correct choice.
