Why C is correct
Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 0780-1-58-.08 and 0780-1-58-.17 are the sections of the Tennessee Department of Commerce & Insurance rule chapter that set the minimum standards for Medicare supplement policies. Every Medicare supplement policy delivered in Tennessee must meet these baselines, and the Commissioner enforces compliance.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) 0780-1-58-.06 is the prohibited-provisions section, and 0780-1-58-.13 is an eligibility section; neither establishes the minimum standards.
- B) 0780-1-58-.13 and 0780-1-58-.14 concern eligibility, implemented alongside T.C.A. § 56-7-1453, not the minimum standards.
- D) 0780-1-58-.04 and 0780-1-58-.05 address terms within the rule chapter, not the minimum-standards sections.
Memory hook
Minimum standards come from the Med supp rule's two standards sections.
