Why D is correct
Under Fla. Stat. 627.4605, replacement notice requirements do not apply when the insured exercises a contractual right under the existing contract with the same insurer, when the replacement occurs under a plan filed with and approved by the same insurer, or when a conversion privilege is exercised between affiliated insurers' policies. These situations involve continuity within the same company rather than a true replacement that could harm the policyowner.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) Moving coverage to a different insurer is the core replacement scenario the notice rules were written to capture.
- B) Concealing a sale from the existing insurer is a violation of the replacement rules, not an exemption from them.
- C) A lower premium on the new policy does not exempt the transaction; price has nothing to do with the statutory exemptions.
Memory hook
Same insurer, same plan, or conversion = no replacement notice needed.
