Answer & full 3-part explanation (select an option above, or peek)
Why D is correct
Under A.R.S. 20-1347, a health policy on any premium mode other than weekly or monthly — such as quarterly, semiannual, or annual — must provide a grace period of not less than 31 days, with coverage continuing during that period. The longer minimum protects the infrequent payer from a quick lapse between widely spaced due dates.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) 10 days is the monthly-premium minimum only.
- B) 7 days is the weekly-premium minimum only.
- C) 30 days is the individual life grace figure under A.R.S. 20-1203, not the health figure for infrequent modes.
Memory hook
Not weekly, not monthly? Then 31.
