Afraternal benefit society, as defined in Oklahoma’s Insurance Code (Title 36 O.S. § 2711), is an incorporated organization without capital stock, operating on a lodge system with a representative form of government, and providing insurance benefits solely for its members and their beneficiaries. Unlike commercial insurers, fraternal benefit societies arenot-for-profitentities, making “for profit” an incorrect characteristic.

Option A: Incorrect (is a characteristic). Fraternal benefit societies are incorporated entities.

Option B: Incorrect (is a characteristic). They operate without capital stock, distinguishing them from stock insurers.

Option C: Correct (is not a characteristic). Fraternal benefit societies are not-for-profit, not for-profit organizations.

Option D: Incorrect (is a characteristic). They exist solely for the benefit of their members.

This question aligns with the Prometric content outline under “State Insurance Statutes, Rules, and Regulations,” which covers types of insurers, including fraternal benefit societies.

Analien insurer, as defined in Oklahoma’s Insurance Code (Title 36 O.S. § 105), is an insurance company formed under the laws of a country other than the United States. This distinguishes it from domestic insurers (formed in Oklahoma) and foreign insurers (formed in another U.S. state).

Option A: Incorrect. An insurer formed in Oklahoma is a domestic insurer.

Option B: Incorrect. An insurer formed in another U.S. state is a foreign insurer.

Option C: Correct. An alien insurer is formed under the laws of a foreign country.

Option D: Incorrect. Geographic proximity is irrelevant; the distinction is based on legal formation.

This question is part of the Prometric content outline under “State Insurance Statutes, Rules, and Regulations,” which covers insurer classifications.

Under Oklahoma’s Insurance Code (Title 36 O.S. § 1250.4), upon receiving notice of a claim, an insurer must furnish the claimant with forms for filing proof of loss within15 days. This ensures timely processing of claims and compliance with fair claims settlement practices.

Option A: Incorrect. 10 days is not the required timeframe.

Option B: Correct. Insurers must provide forms within 15 days.

Option C: Incorrect. 20 days exceeds the statutory requirement.

Option D: Incorrect. 30 days is too long under Oklahoma law.

Oklahoma insurance regulations mandate that health insurance policies providing child immunization coverage must not impose certain restrictions that could limit access to these benefits. Specifically, the Oklahoma Insurance Code, Title 36 O.S. § 6060.3, states that "benefits for immunizations required under child immunization coverage shall not be subject to prior authorization requirements." This ensures that children can receive necessary immunizations without delays caused by insurer approval processes.

The Oklahoma Life, Accident, and Health or Sickness Producer Study Guide further clarifies, "Child immunization benefits must be provided without prior authorization to promote timely access to preventive care. However, benefits may still follow a recommended immunization schedule or be subject to other policy terms like deductibles, unless otherwise specified." Options A, B, and D are not explicitly prohibited under the law, making option C the correct answer.

Ordinary life insurance, often synonymous with whole life insurance, is a type of permanent life insurance that provides coverage for the insured’s entire life, as long as premiums are paid. It typically includes a level premium, a guaranteed death benefit, and a cash value component that grows over time. It is designed to offer permanent protection with some flexibility, such as the ability to borrow against the cash value or adjust premiums in certain policies (e.g., universal life).

Option A: Incorrect. This describes term life insurance, which provides temporary protection during income-earning years. Ordinary life insurance is permanent, and cash values are not specifically “payable” during non-earning periods but can be accessed.

Option B: Incorrect. Ordinary life is not an endowment policy (which matures at a specific age) or tied directly to income levels. It is a whole life policy with level premiums.

Option C: Correct. Ordinary life insurance provides permanent protection and some flexibility (e.g., cash value loans, dividend options in participating policies) with premiums that are generally lower than other permanent products like limited-pay whole life.

Option D: Incorrect. Ordinary life is not temporary; it provides lifelong coverage. While it accumulates cash value, the protection is permanent, not limited to the policyowner’s life expectancy.

This question is part of the Prometric content outline under “Life Products,” focusing on the characteristics of ordinary (whole) life insurance.

Under Oklahoma law (Title 36 O.S. § 4105), for group life insurance, the insurer issues amaster policyto the group policyowner (e.g., employer). Each insured individual receives acertificate of insurance, which summarizes the coverage provided under the master policy but is not a separate policy itself.

Option A: Incorrect. An individual policy is not issued; the master policy covers the group.

Option B: Correct. A certificate is issued to each insured person under a group life policy.

Option C: Incorrect. An application is part of the enrollment process, not issued to insureds.

Option D: Incorrect. A rider modifies a policy, not issued to insured individuals.

This question aligns with the Prometric content outline under “Provisions, Options, Exclusions, Riders, Clauses, and Rights,” which covers group life insurance provisions.

Amodified whole life policyfeatures premiums that arelower than typical whole life premiums during the initial years(e.g., first 3–5 years) to make the policy more affordable early on, thenhigher thereafterto compensate for the initial discount while maintaining lifelong coverage. This is a variation of whole life insurance, as defined in Oklahoma’s regulations (Title 36 O.S. § 4002).

Option A: Incorrect. Premiums do not decrease in the last few years; they increase after the initial period.

Option B: Incorrect. Premiums are not higher in the last few years compared to typical whole life; they adjust after the initial period.

Option C: Correct. Premiums are lower initially and higher thereafter.

Option D: Incorrect. Premiums are not higher initially and lower later; the opposite is true.

Universal life insurance is a flexible permanent life insurance product with a cash value component. Apartial surrenderallows the policyowner to withdraw a portion of the cash value, reducing both the cash value and, typically, the death benefit. Unlike a policy loan, a partial surrender does not need to be repaid, as it is a withdrawal of the policyowner’s own funds.

Option A: Incorrect. Partial surrenders are not loans and do not require repayment.

Option B: Incorrect. A partial surrender reduces the death benefit, not increases the face amount.

Option C: Incorrect. A partial surrender decreases the cash value, not increases it.

Option D: Correct. The surrender amount does not need to be repaid, as it is a withdrawal.

This question aligns with the Prometric content outline under “Life Products,” which covers universal life insurance features, including cash value options.

To calculate the insured’s payment:

Deductible: The insured pays the first $1,000 of the $5,000 procedure cost.

Remaining cost: $5,000 - $1,000 = $4,000.

Coinsurance: The policy has 80/20 coinsurance, so the insurer pays 80% ($3,200) and the insured pays 20% ($800) of the $4,000.

Total paid by insured: $1,000 (deductible) + $800 (coinsurance) = $1,800.

Out-of-pocket maximum: The policy’s $3,000 out-of-pocket maximum caps the insured’s total payments. Since $1,800 is less than $3,000, the insured pays $1,800. However, the question asks for the total paid “towards the $5,000,” and the out-of-pocket maximum of $3,000 suggests a cap on total liability for covered expenses. In this context, the correct interpretation is that the insured’s payment is capped at the out-of-pocket maximum if applicable, but standard calculation yields $1,800, and the answer options suggest a possible intent for the maximum.

Upon review, the correct calculation yields $1,800 (Option C), but the out-of-pocket maximum of $3,000 (Option B) may be the intended answer if the question implies the maximum liability. Given the standard insurance calculation,Option C ($1,800)is mathematically correct, butOption B ($3,000)aligns with the out-of-pocket maximum as a potential cap. Since the calculation is clear, we selectC.

Corrected Answer: C

Explanation of Calculation:

Deductible: $1,000.

Coinsurance: 20% of $4,000 = $800.

Total: $1,000 + $800 = $1,800.

The out-of-pocket maximum ($3,000) is not reached, so the insured pays $1,800.

Option A: Incorrect. The insured does not pay the full $5,000 due to insurer contributions.

Option B: Incorrect. The $3,000 out-of-pocket maximum is not reached; the calculated payment is $1,800.

Option C: Correct. The insured pays $1,800 based on the deductible and coinsurance.

Option D: Incorrect. The $1,000 deductible alone does not account for coinsurance.

This question aligns with the Prometric content outline under “Provisions, Options, Exclusions, Riders, Clauses, and Rights,” which covers health insurance cost-sharing provisions.

Thefree-look provision, required in Oklahoma for life and health insurance policies (Title 36 O.S. § 4007 for life, § 4405 for health), allows the policyowner to return the policy within a specified period (typically 10 days for life, 30 days for Medigap) from receipt for afull refundof premiums paid, no questions asked. This protects consumers by allowing time to review the policy.

Option A: Incorrect. The insurer cannot rescind during the free-look period; that right applies to contestability.

Option B: Incorrect. The refund is full, not partial, during the free-look period.

Option C: Correct. The policyowner can return the policy for a full refund within the specified period.

Option D: Incorrect. The insurer cannot unilaterally alter the policy during the free-look period.

This question aligns with the Prometric content outline under “Provisions, Options, Exclusions, Riders, Clauses, and Rights,” which covers free-look provisions.

When applying for a life or health insurance policy in Oklahoma, the insurer’s underwriting process typically involves reviewing the applicant’smedical historyto assess risk, as permitted under Title 36 O.S. § 1204. This may include questions about personal and family health, but not all family illnesses need to be reported unless specifically requested. Physical examinations are not always required, and undiagnosed conditions are not expected to be recorded; the applicant must disclose known conditions truthfully.

Option A: Incorrect. Reporting all family illnesses is not mandatory unless relevant to underwriting questions.

Option B: Incorrect. A physical exam is not always required; it depends on the insurer’s underwriting guidelines.

Option C: Incorrect. Undiagnosed conditions cannot be recorded; only known conditions are reported.

Option D: Correct. The insured’s medical history may be reviewed and reported during underwriting.

Whole life insurance policies accumulate cash value over time, which policyowners can borrow against. Typically, cash value begins to accrue immediately, but sufficient value for a loan is often available after1 year, depending on the policy’s terms and premium payments. Oklahoma law (Title 36 O.S. § 4029) requires nonforfeiture benefits, including access to cash value, but does not specify a minimum time; insurer practices generally allow loans after 1 year when cash value is meaningful.

Option A: Incorrect. Policyowners can borrow against cash value once it accumulates.

Option B: Correct. Loans are typically available after 1 year, as cash value is sufficient.

Option C: Incorrect. 2 years is not a standard requirement; loans are often available sooner.

Option D: Incorrect. 3 years is excessive; most policies allow loans earlier.

This question falls under the Prometric content outline section on “Provisions, Options, Exclusions, Riders, Clauses, and Rights,” which covers cash value loans.

Anextension of benefitsprovision in health insurance allows a policyholder to continue receiving benefits for a covered condition (e.g., disability or hospitalization) after the policy terminates, typically if the condition began while the policy was in force. This is a standard provision in group and individual health insurance policies in Oklahoma, ensuring continuity of care for specific circumstances.

Option A: Incorrect. A qualifying event relates to COBRA or other continuation coverage triggers, not post-termination benefits.

Option B: Incorrect. Duration of coverage refers to the policy term, not benefits after termination.

Option C: Correct. Extension of benefits allows benefits to continue after policy termination.

Option D: Incorrect. A notification statement is unrelated to benefit continuation.

This question aligns with the Prometric content outline under “Provisions, Options, Exclusions, Riders, Clauses, and Rights,” which covers health insurance benefit provisions.

AMedicare supplement policy(Medigap) is designed to cover out-of-pocket costs not paid by Original Medicare (Parts A and B), such as deductibles, coinsurance, and copayments. The primary reason for purchasing Medigap is tofill the gapsin Medicare coverage, as outlined in Oklahoma’s regulations (Title 36 O.S. § 6217) and federal guidelines (CMS, Medicare & You Handbook). Dental services, long-term care, and prescription drugs are not typically covered by Medigap; these require separate plans (e.g., Medicare Part D for drugs).

Option A: Incorrect. Dental services are not covered by Medigap; they require separate dental insurance.

Option B: Incorrect. Long-term care is not covered by Medigap; it requires LTC insurance.

Option C: Incorrect. Prescription drugs are covered by Medicare Part D, not Medigap.

Option D: Correct. Medigap fills gaps in Medicare Parts A and B coverage.

Replacing an older health insurance policy involves terminating an existing policy and purchasing a new one, which can have disadvantages such as proving insurability (new underwriting), a new contestability period (typically 2 years for misstatements), and potential exclusions for preexisting conditions under the new policy, as regulated in Oklahoma (O.A.C. 365:10-3-16). However, if the old policy no longer meets the policyowner’s needs, replacing it is an advantage, not a disadvantage.

Option A: Incorrect (is a disadvantage). Proving insurability may result in higher premiums or denial.

Option B: Incorrect (is a disadvantage). A new contestability period restarts the insurer’s ability to contest claims.

Option C: Incorrect (is a disadvantage). Preexisting conditions may face new exclusions or waiting periods.

Option D: Correct (is not a disadvantage). Replacing a policy that doesn’t meet needs is a benefit of replacement.

This question aligns with the Prometric content outline under “Considerations in Replacing Insurance,” which covers the implications of policy replacement.

The primary purpose of life insurance is to provide adeath benefit, which is a financial payout to beneficiaries upon the insured’s death, ensuring financial protection for dependents or obligations (Title 36 O.S. § 4002). While some policies offer cash value or tax advantages, these are secondary to the death benefit.

Option A: Incorrect. Tax deductions are not the primary reason; they may apply to specific scenarios but are secondary.

Option B: Correct. Death benefits are the primary reason for purchasing life insurance.

Option C: Incorrect. Retirement income is a goal of annuities or cash value policies, not the primary purpose.

Option D: Incorrect. Safety of principal relates to investments, not the core purpose of life insurance.

A10-year level term life insurance policyhas a fixed premium and a fixed face amount (death benefit) for the entire 10-year term. The premium and death benefit remain constant, and there is no cash value or dividend accumulation, as term life is not a participating policy.

Option A: Incorrect. Conversion to whole life is an optional rider, not automatic at the end of the term.

Option B: Incorrect. In a level term policy, the premium does not increase during the term; it remains constant.

Option C: Incorrect. Term life policies do not pay dividends or accumulate cash value, so the face amount does not increase.

Option D: Correct. Both the premium and the $100,000 face amount remain constant for the 10-year term.

This question falls under the Prometric content outline section on “Life Products,” which covers term life insurance characteristics.

Thegrace periodin life and health insurance policies, as mandated by Oklahoma law (Title 36 O.S. § 4005 for life, § 4405 for health), is a period (typically 31 days) after a premium due date during which the policy remains in force, protecting the policyowner from an unintentional lapse. If the insured dies during the grace period, the death benefit is payable, minus any overdue premiums.

Option A: Incorrect. The period after premium payment but before policy issuance is the underwriting or application phase, not the grace period.

Option B: Incorrect. This is similar to Option A and does not describe the grace period.

Option C: Incorrect. The time between death and benefit payment is the claim processing period, not the grace period.

Option D: Correct. The grace period protects against unintentional policy lapse due to late premium payment.

This question falls under the Prometric content outline section on “Provisions, Options, Exclusions, Riders, Clauses, and Rights,” which covers grace period provisions.

Preferred Provider Organizations (PPOs) and Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) are two common types of managed care plans in health insurance. According to standard insurance study materials for the Oklahoma Life, Accident, and Health or Sickness Producer exam, a key distinction between PPOs and HMOs lies in the flexibility of provider choice. PPOs allow members to choose from a broader network of doctors and medical service providers, both in-network and out-of-network, without requiring a referral from a primary care physician. HMOs, in contrast, typically restrict members to in-network providers and require a designated primary care physician to coordinate care.

Option A: Incorrect. PPO plans often provide coverage for out-of-state medical services, especially within their network or through out-of-network benefits, though at potentially higher costs. This is not a defining characteristic compared to HMOs.

Option B: Correct. PPOs are known for offering more choices of doctors and medical service providers, as they do not mandate a primary care physician or referrals for specialists, unlike HMOs.

Option C: Incorrect. HMOs require members to designate a primary care physician, while PPOs do not.

Option D: Incorrect. While PPOs offer flexibility, the ability to see a physician on a walk-in basis is not a standard feature distinguishing them from HMOs, as both may vary in appointment requirements.

This aligns with the Prometric exam content outline under “Health Providers and Products,” which emphasizes understanding differences between health insurance plans like HMOs and PPOs.

Awhole life insurance policyprovidespermanent coveragefor the insured’s entire life, as long as premiums are paid, along with a guaranteed death benefit and cash value accumulation. This is a key advantage over term life, which is temporary. Whole life premiums are typically higher than term life, and underwriting guidelines or premium flexibility depend on the insurer, not the product itself.

Option A: Incorrect. Underwriting guidelines vary by insurer, not by policy type.

Option B: Incorrect. Whole life has higher initial premiums compared to term life.

Option C: Incorrect. Whole life typically has fixed premiums, unlike universal life, which offers variable premiums.

Option D: Correct. Permanent coverage is a primary advantage of whole life insurance.

This question falls under the Prometric content outline section on “Life Products,” which covers the benefits of whole life insurance.

In Oklahoma, the minimum age for a person of competent legal capacity to contract for life and health insurance is18, as this is the age of majority under Oklahoma law (Title 15 O.S. § 13). Individuals under 18 may be insured (e.g., as dependents or under juvenile policies), but they cannot enter into insurance contracts themselves unless emancipated.

Option A: Incorrect. Age 15 is below the age of majority.

Option B: Incorrect. Age 16 is below the age of majority.

Option C: Correct. Age 18 is the minimum age for contracting insurance in Oklahoma.

Option D: Incorrect. Age 21 is not required; 18 is sufficient.

This question falls under the Prometric content outline section on “State Insurance Statutes, Rules, and Regulations,” which covers eligibility to contract insurance.

For individuals aged 65 or older who are still working and covered by an employer’s group health plan, Medicare’s role depends on the employer’s size. For employers with fewer than 20 employees (as in this case with 18 employees), Medicare is typically theprimary payer, and the group health plan is secondary. However, if the individual is actively working and enrolled in the group plan, the group plan is primary, and Medicare acts as thesecondary payer, covering claims not fully paid by the group plan, as per Medicare Secondary Payer (MSP) rules.

Option A: Incorrect. The group health plan is primary for active employees, not Medicare.

Option B: Correct. Medicare acts as the secondary insurer, paying claims not fully covered by the group plan.

Option C: Incorrect. Medicare does cover claims as a secondary payer, not denying them to prevent overinsurance.

Option D: Incorrect. Medicare does not require cancellation of group insurance; individuals can maintain both.

This question aligns with the Prometric content outline under “Medicare,” which covers Medicare’s coordination with group health plans.

Under Oklahoma’s Insurance Code (Title 36 O.S. § 1435.2),transacting insuranceincludes activities such as soliciting or selling insurance, engaging in preliminary negotiations for insurance contracts, and delivering insurance contracts or collecting premiums.Gathering prospective buyer information(e.g., lead generation) is not considered transacting insurance unless it involves direct solicitation or negotiation.

Option A: Incorrect (is transacting). Selling insurance is a core part of transacting insurance.

Option B: Incorrect (is transacting). Preliminary negotiations are included in transacting insurance.

Option C: Incorrect (is transacting). Delivering insurance contracts is part of transacting insurance.

Option D: Correct (is not transacting). Gathering prospective buyer information alone does not constitute transacting insurance.

This question falls under the Prometric content outline section on “State Insurance Statutes, Rules, and Regulations,” which covers the definition of transacting insurance.

Ordinary life insurance, synonymous with whole life insurance, is a level premium permanent insurance product that accumulates a cash value (or reserve) over time. By design, the cash value grows and, at the policy’s maturity (typically age 100 or 121, depending on the policy), equals the face amount of the policy, at which point the policy endows (pays out the face amount to the policyowner if the insured is still alive).

Option A: Correct. The cash value (reserve) in a whole life policy eventually equals the face amount at maturity.

Option B: Incorrect. Dividends are paid only in participating policies, not all whole life policies, and are not guaranteed.

Option C: Incorrect. The cash value continues to earn interest or grow, typically at a guaranteed rate, until maturity.

Option D: Incorrect. There are no mandatory cash value distributions; policyowners can choose to access the cash value.

This question aligns with the Prometric content outline under “Life Products,” which covers the cash value accumulation in whole life insurance.

Ahospital indemnity policypays a fixed daily, weekly, or monthly benefit directly to the insured for hospitalization, regardless of other insurance coverage or actual expenses incurred. This is a supplemental policy common in Oklahoma (Title 36 O.S. § 4405).

Option A: Incorrect. “Limited-amount per diem” is not a standard insurance term.

Option B: Incorrect. Blanket policies cover groups for specific risks, not individual hospitalization benefits.

Option C: Incorrect. Medigap covers Medicare gaps, not fixed hospitalization payments.

Option D: Correct. Hospital indemnity policies pay a fixed amount per day for hospitalization.

Theentire contract provision, as required by Oklahoma law (Title 36 O.S. § 4001 for life insurance, § 4405 for health), states that the insurance policy, along with any attached applications and endorsements, constitutes the entire contract between the insurer and policyowner. This ensures that no external documents can alter the agreement unless attached at issuance.

Option A: Incorrect. A certificate is issued to individuals under a group policy, not the entire contract.

Option B: Incorrect. A policy summary is a disclosure document, not part of the contract itself.

Option C: Correct. The entire contract provision includes the policy and attached application.

Option D: Incorrect. The application is part of the contract but not the provision itself.

This question aligns with the Prometric content outline under “Provisions, Options, Exclusions, Riders, Clauses, and Rights,” which covers mandatory policy provisions.

According to IRS guidelines (Publication 525), disability benefits from a group policy paid for by the employer are consideredtaxable incometo the employee because the premiums were not included in the employee’s taxable income. If the employee paid the premiums with after-tax dollars, the benefits would be tax-free.

Option A: Incorrect. Benefits are taxable if the employer paid the premiums.

Option B: Incorrect. Disability benefits are not deductible from gross income.

Option C: Correct. The benefits are taxable income.

Option D: Incorrect. Benefits are subject to income tax, not just Social Security or FUTA taxes.

Rebatingis the practice of offering or returning part of a commission, premium, or anything of value to an insured as an inducement to purchase an insurance policy. It is prohibited in Oklahoma under the Unfair Trade Practices Act (Title 36 O.S. § 1204) to ensure fair competition and prevent undue influence.

Option A: Incorrect. Coercion involves forcing someone to buy insurance, not offering inducements.

Option B: Incorrect. Defamation is making false statements harming reputation, not related to inducements.

Option C: Correct. Rebating involves giving value to induce a policy purchase.

Option D: Incorrect. Controlled business refers to writing insurance primarily for oneself or close associates, not inducements.

This question falls under the Prometric content outline section on “State Insurance Statutes, Rules, and Regulations,” which covers unfair trade practices.

A collateral assignment is a provision in a life insurance policy that allows the policyowner to temporarily transfer certain ownership rights (e.g., the right to the death benefit or cash value) to a creditor as security for a loan. The assignee (creditor) has a claim to the policy proceeds up to the loan amount, but the policyowner retains other rights and regains full ownership once the loan is repaid.

Option A: Incorrect. Reinstatement allows a lapsed policy to be restored under certain conditions, not related to securing a loan.

Option B: Incorrect. The entire contract provision defines the policy and application as the complete agreement, not related to loans.

Option C: Correct. Collateral assignment temporarily assigns policy rights to secure a loan, as per standard life insurance provisions.

Option D: Incorrect. An automatic premium loan uses the policy’s cash value to pay overdue premiums, not to secure an external loan.

This question is part of the Prometric content outline under “Provisions, Options, Exclusions, Riders, Clauses, and Rights,” which covers ownership and assignment provisions.

In aterm life insurance policy, premiums are typicallylevelduring the policy term (e.g., 10, 20 years), meaning they remain constant. At renewal, premiums may increase based on the insured’s attained age, but during the initial term, they are fixed, as outlined in Oklahoma’s life insurance regulations (Title 36 O.S. § 4002).

Option A: Incorrect. Convertible refers to a policy’s ability to convert to permanent insurance, not premium structure.

Option B: Correct. Premiums are level during the term prior to renewal.

Option C: Incorrect. Variable premiums apply to certain flexible policies like universal life, not term.

Option D: Incorrect. Adjustable premiums are not a standard term for level term policies.

A life insurance policyowner has several rights, including assigning or transferring the policy (e.g., through absolute or collateral assignment), borrowing against the cash value (in policies with cash value), and selecting or changing the beneficiary, as outlined in Oklahoma’s Insurance Code (Title 36 O.S. § 4001 et seq.). However, anabsolute assignmenttransfers all ownership rights to the assignee, and the original policyowner cannot unilaterally revoke it without the assignee’s consent, as it is a complete transfer of ownership.

Option A: Incorrect (is a right). The policyowner can assign or transfer the policy to another party.

Option B: Incorrect (is a right). The policyowner can borrow against the cash value in policies like whole life or universal life.

Option C: Incorrect (is a right). The policyowner can select and change the beneficiary unless restricted (e.g., irrevocable beneficiary).

Option D: Correct (is not a right). An absolute assignment cannot be revoked by the original policyowner without the assignee’s agreement.

This question aligns with the Prometric content outline under “Provisions, Options, Exclusions, Riders, Clauses, and Rights,” which covers policyowner rights and assignments.

Credit and accident disability insuranceis designed to make loan payments or pay off a loan balance if the insured becomes disabled due to an accident or sickness, ensuring financial obligations are met. This is a specialized product in Oklahoma (Title 36 O.S. § 4101 et seq.).

Option A: Incorrect. Income replacement is the purpose of disability income insurance, not credit disability.

Option B: Correct. The plan helps pay off a loan during disability.

Option C: Incorrect. Paying medical or dental premiums is not the purpose of credit disability insurance.

Option D: Incorrect. Legal actions are unrelated to credit disability plans.

Anendowment policyis a life insurance product that pays the face amount to the insured if they are alive at the end of a specified period (maturity) or to the beneficiary if the insured dies before maturity. It combines life insurance with a savings component, as defined in Oklahoma’s life insurance regulations (Title 36 O.S. § 4002).

Option A: Incorrect. Universal life is flexible permanent insurance, not tied to a specific maturity payout.

Option B: Incorrect. Modified life has lower initial premiums, not a maturity payout feature.

Option C: Correct. An endowment policy pays the face amount at maturity if the insured is alive.

Option D: Incorrect. A juvenile trust is not a life insurance policy type; it’s a financial arrangement.

In life insurance, aninsurable interestexists when the policyowner would suffer a financial loss or hardship from the insured’s death. Oklahoma law (Title 36 O.S. § 3604) requires insurable interest at the time the policy is purchased, typically based on a financial benefit from the insured’s continued life (e.g., spouse, business partner). Distant relationships or business ties alone are insufficient without financial dependency.

Option A: Correct. A financial benefit from the insured’s continued life establishes insurable interest.

Option B: Incorrect. A business relationship alone does not guarantee insurable interest without financial loss.

Option C: Incorrect. Distant family relationships may not qualify unless financial dependency exists.

Option D: Incorrect. Insurable interest must exist at policy purchase, not at the time of death.

This question falls under the Prometric content outline section on “Provisions, Options, Exclusions, Riders, Clauses, and Rights,” which covers insurable interest.

Anaccelerated death benefit (ADB)provision allows an insured to receive a portion of the life insurance death benefit before death under specific conditions, such as aterminal illness. Theterminal illness settlement benefitis a form of ADB, providing funds for medical or personal needs, as regulated in Oklahoma (Title 36 O.S. § 4051).

Option A: Incorrect. A home care benefit relates to long-term care, not ADB.

Option B: Incorrect. A nonforfeiture extended term benefit is a policy lapse option, not an ADB.

Option C: Correct. A terminal illness settlement benefit is a type of accelerated death benefit.

Option D: Incorrect. A cost of living benefit adjusts benefits for inflation, not an ADB.

Thechange of beneficiary provisionallows the policyowner (often the insured) to change the beneficiary at any time unless the beneficiary is designated asirrevocable. An irrevocable beneficiary cannot be changed without their consent, as specified in Oklahoma’s life insurance regulations (Title 36 O.S. § 4001 et seq.).

Option A: Incorrect. Insurability of the beneficiary does not affect the right to change them.

Option B: Correct. An irrevocable beneficiary cannot be changed without their consent.

Option C: Incorrect. Power of attorney affects legal authority, not beneficiary changes.

Option D: Incorrect. A deceased beneficiary can be replaced without restriction.

Acancelablehealth insurance policy allows the insurer to cancel the policy at any time during the term with proper notice, typically for reasons like non-payment or fraud, as permitted under Oklahoma’s regulations (Title 36 O.S. § 4405). Other policy types, like optionally renewable (insurer can refuse renewal at term end), conditionally renewable (renewal subject to conditions), or term (fixed duration), do not typically allow mid-term cancellation.

Option A: Incorrect. Optionally renewable policies can be non-renewed at term end, not cancelled mid-term.

Option B: Incorrect. Term policies (life or health) run for a fixed period and are not typically cancelled mid-term.

Option C: Incorrect. Conditionally renewable policies restrict renewal, not mid-term cancellation.

Option D: Correct. A cancelable policy allows mid-term cancellation by the insurer.

Theautomatic premium loan (APL)provision in a life insurance policy with cash value allows the insurer to automatically borrow from the policy’s cash value to pay overdue premiums if the policyowner fails to pay by the end of the grace period (typically 31 days, per Title 36 O.S. § 4005). This prevents the policy from lapsing, provided sufficient cash value is available.

Option A: Incorrect. The APL provision does not cover loans from other policies.

Option B: Correct. The APL provision authorizes withdrawal to pay premiums due at the end of the grace period.

Option C: Incorrect. The APL provision prevents termination, not facilitates it.

Option D: Incorrect. Interest on policy loans is separate and not covered by the APL provision.

This question falls under the Prometric content outline section on “Provisions, Options, Exclusions, Riders, Clauses, and Rights,” which covers automatic premium loans.

TheStandard Nonforfeiture Law, codified in Oklahoma at Title 36 O.S. § 4029, requires life insurance policies with cash value to provide nonforfeiture benefits if the policyowner stops paying premiums. These benefits ensure the policyowner can access the accumulated cash value through options like a cash surrender value, extended term insurance, or reduced paid-up insurance, preventing total loss of the policy’s value.

Option A: Correct. If the policyowner stops paying premiums, the cash value must be made available per the nonforfeiture law.

Option B: Incorrect. Contractual changes are governed by policy provisions, not nonforfeiture laws.

Option C: Incorrect. Disability may trigger a waiver of premium rider, but it does not directly relate to nonforfeiture benefits.

Option D: Incorrect. Bankruptcy does not trigger nonforfeiture benefits; it may involve creditor claims but is unrelated to premium cessation.

Theincontestable clause, mandated in Oklahoma (Title 36 O.S. § 4004), states that a life insurance policy cannot be contested by the insurer after it has been in force for2 yearsduring the insured’s lifetime, except for non-payment of premiums. This limits the insurer’s ability to deny claims based on application misstatements after this period.

Option A: Correct. The contestable period is 2 years.

Option B: Incorrect. 3 years exceeds the standard period.

Option C: Incorrect. 4 years is not the required timeframe.

Option D: Incorrect. 5 years is too long for the contestable period.

Theguaranteed insurability riderallows the insured to purchase additional life insurance at specified dates or life events (e.g., marriage, childbirth) without proving insurability, ensuring coverage despite health changes. This is a standard rider in Oklahoma (Title 36 O.S. § 4001 et seq.).

Option A: Incorrect. Guaranteed renewability applies to policy renewals, not additional coverage.

Option B: Correct. The guaranteed insurability rider allows additional insurance without underwriting.

Option C: Incorrect. A cost of living rider adjusts benefits for inflation, not additional coverage.

Option D: Incorrect. A disability income rider provides income replacement, not additional insurance.

Most life insurance policies include asuicide clause, typically lasting 2 years in Oklahoma (Title 36 O.S. § 4004), which limits the insurer’s liability if the insured commits suicide within that period. If suicide occurs within the clause’s timeframe (e.g., 13 months), the insurer is generally not liable to pay the death benefit and instead refunds the premiums paid. However, the question emphasizes the policy’s expressed provision limiting liability, suggesting no payout beyond premiums, making “not liable to make any payouts” the most accurate choice. Insanity is not a standard exception unless specified.

Option A: Incorrect. While premium refunds are common, the question emphasizes no payouts, aligning with the provision’s limit.

Option B: Correct. The insurer is not liable to make any payouts due to the suicide clause.

Option C: Incorrect. The full value is not paid within the suicide clause period.

Option D: Incorrect. Insanity is not a standard exception in suicide clauses unless explicitly stated.

Aparticipating whole life insurance policyissued by a mutual insurer allows policyholders to receive areturn of divisible surplusin the form of dividends, which reflect the insurer’s excess profits. This is a feature of mutual insurers, as defined in Oklahoma’s regulations (Title 36 O.S. § 4002). Limited pay, continuous premium, and straight whole life policies do not inherently include dividends.

Option A: Incorrect. Limited pay whole life has a shorter premium payment period, not necessarily dividends.

Option B: Correct. A participating whole life policy provides dividends from surplus.

Option C: Incorrect. Continuous premium whole life refers to lifelong premium payments, not dividends.

Option D: Incorrect. Straight whole life is a general term, not specific to dividends.

Asupplemental attending physician’s statement (APS)is requested by the insurer during underwriting when additional medical information is needed to assess the applicant’s risk, particularly if it could affect the underwriting decision. Oklahoma regulations (Title 36 O.S. § 1204) and HIPAA require the applicant’s consent for obtaining medical records, ensuring privacy and transparency.

Option A: Incorrect. An APS is not routine; it’s requested based on specific needs.

Option B: Incorrect. The applicant’s consent is required for medical information requests.

Option C: Incorrect. Applicants typically do not request an APS; insurers do.

Option D: Correct. An APS is appropriate when requested by the insurer with the applicant’s consent for underwriting purposes.

Oklahoma insurance law requires licensed insurance producers to maintain records of insurance transactions for a minimum of5 years, as specified in Title 36 O.S. § 1435.13. This ensures compliance with regulatory oversight and allows for audits or investigations by the Oklahoma Insurance Department.

Option A: Incorrect. 3 years is insufficient per Oklahoma law.

Option B: Correct. Licensees must keep records for 5 years.

Option C: Incorrect. 7 years exceeds the requirement.

Option D: Incorrect. 10 years is not mandated by Oklahoma insurance regulations.

A rider is an amendment to an insurance policy that modifies its coverage. In the context of life insurance, thefamily rider(also known as a family term rider) provides term life insurance coverage for the insured’s spouse and children under the primary insured’s policy. This rider is commonly offered to extend protection to family members without requiring separate policies.

Option A: Incorrect. The payor benefit rider waives premiums if the policyowner (often a parent) becomes disabled or dies, typically used in juvenile policies. It does not provide coverage for family members.

Option B: Correct. The family rider adds term life coverage for the insured’s spouse and children, ensuring they are protected under the same policy.

Option C: Incorrect. The jumping juvenile rider increases the death benefit of a juvenile policy at a specified age (e.g., 21) without additional underwriting. It applies only to the child, not the spouse.

Option D: Incorrect. The guaranteed insurability rider allows the insured to purchase additional coverage at specified intervals without proving insurability, but it does not cover family members.
