Why D is correct
Despite being cited in the outline's Medicare supplement section, T.C.A. § 56-26-132 is titled 'Health care insurance advice for senior citizens' — a senior-advice provision, not the Medicare supplement minimum standards. The operative Medicare supplement standards live in the Tennessee Department of Commerce & Insurance rule chapter 0780-1-58 (for example, Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 0780-1-58-.12), which is the citation to use for Med-supp policy content.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) The Medicare supplement minimum standards are found in Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 0780-1-58, not in T.C.A. § 56-26-132.
- B) Producer licensing is governed by Tennessee's producer licensing provisions, not by T.C.A. § 56-26-132.
- C) Guaranty association coverage is a separate subject governed by the Tennessee Life & Health Insurance Guaranty Association Act, not by T.C.A. § 56-26-132.
Memory hook
56-26-132 is senior advice, not Med-supp standards — the rule chapter is.
