Answer & full 3-part explanation (select an option above, or peek)
Why A is correct
Multiple-employer welfare arrangements — vehicles through which multiple employers join together to provide welfare benefits such as health coverage to their employees — are regulated in Ohio under ORC Chapter 1739. A producer should recognize MEWAs as a distinct, state-regulated arrangement rather than an ordinary group policy issued by a licensed insurer, and Ohio law imposes specific obligations on those who establish or market them.
Why the other options are wrong
- B) ORC Chapter 3924 governs small-employer health coverage, not MEWAs.
- C) ORC Chapter 1751 governs health insuring corporations (HICs), not MEWAs.
- D) ORC Chapter 3916 governs viatical settlements, not MEWAs.
Memory hook
MEWA = Many Employers, Welfare Arrangement — find it in Chapter 1739.
