Why D is correct
Colorado's fair marketing standards for health coverage (C.R.S. § 10-16-108.5; Colorado Insurance Regulation 4-2-20) require that marketing materials accurately describe the coverage and not mislead consumers about benefits, exclusions, or limitations. A flyer that contradicts the policy's own terms is misleading marketing, exposing both the producer and the carrier to Division action.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) Favorable emphasis cannot contradict the policy's actual terms; accuracy is the standard, not optimism.
- B) The producer's subjective belief does not excuse a materially misleading description of the coverage.
- C) The standards apply to marketing regardless of the audience, including existing policyholders.
Memory hook
Say what the policy says — fair marketing means accurate marketing.
