Washington life and health insurance exam sample questions and answers
6 of the 150 practice questions, one from each topic, with the answer explained.
1. Under RCW 48.23.015, a producer recommending an annuity acts in the consumer's best interest by meeting obligations of:
- A.Suitability, illustration, delivery and review
- B.Care, disclosure, conflict and documentation
- C.Licensing, appointment, training and bonding
- D.Disclosure, rebating, replacement and refund
Answer: B. Washington's best interest standard, in effect since January 1, 2024, is met when the producer satisfies the care, disclosure, conflict of interest and documentation obligations in RCW 48.23.015(3). The producer may not put its own or the insurer's financial interest ahead of the consumer's.
2. No premium was paid with an application. The policy is issued on May 1 and delivered on May 10, when the producer collects the premium. Coverage begins:
- A.On the application date
- B.On the medical exam date
- C.May 1
- D.May 10
Answer: D. With no premium at application, coverage starts only when the policy is delivered, the first premium is paid and a statement of good health is signed, which all happened on May 10. Issuing the policy on May 1 does not start coverage because the insurer had not yet received the premium.
3. Under Washington's Health Care False Claim Act, knowingly presenting a false claim to a health care payer is a:
- A.Class C felony
- B.Gross misdemeanor
- C.Class B felony
- D.Civil infraction
Answer: A. RCW 48.80.030 makes knowingly presenting a false health care claim, or concealing facts to get a payment, a class C felony. Statements on an application for coverage are outside this act and are covered by RCW 48.30.210 instead.
4. A carrier denies a Washington enrollee's treatment as not medically necessary. The enrollee may seek review by:
- A.The state guaranty association
- B.The national commissioners' association
- C.A certified independent review organization
- D.The insurer's own board of directors
Answer: C. RCW 48.43.535 lets an enrollee have a certified independent review organization, assigned by the commissioner's rotational registry, review a carrier's decision to deny, modify, reduce or end coverage. The carrier must carry out the decision and pay the organization's charges.
5. Washington defines long-term care insurance as coverage designed to provide benefits for at least:
- A.6 consecutive months
- B.24 consecutive months
- C.12 consecutive months
- D.90 consecutive days
Answer: C. RCW 48.83.020(5) defines long-term care insurance as a policy, contract or rider designed to cover at least twelve consecutive months, for care in a setting other than an acute care hospital unit. Medicare supplement and disability income policies are excluded.
6. Under Washington's life insurance disclosure rule, an insurer must give a prospective buyer of individual life insurance a Buyer's Guide:
- A.Before accepting the application
- B.Only when one is requested
- C.With the delivered policy
- D.Within 10 days of issue
Answer: A. WAC 284-23-230(2) requires the Buyer's Guide before the insurer accepts the initial application, premium or premium deposit. A policy summary, by contrast, may be delivered with or before the policy.
