What is the consequence of accepting a premium without providing a Buyers Guide?

1. The application may be voided

2. Possible regulatory penalties

3. The policyholder loses coverage

4. There are no consequences

The correct answer is: Possible regulatory penalties

Accepting a premium without providing a Buyer's Guide can lead to possible regulatory penalties because insurance regulations are in place to ensure that consumers are adequately informed about the products they are purchasing. The Buyer's Guide is a crucial document that provides important information about the policy features, benefits, and costs. Its absence can indicate a failure to adhere to regulatory requirements designed to protect consumers, which may result in sanctions from regulatory bodies. While some other options may involve consequences related to the application or the policyholder's coverage, the specific issue of regulatory compliance aligns directly with the penalties that can be imposed on those who do not follow established procedures. Ensuring consumers receive the Buyer's Guide helps promote transparency and informed decision-making in the insurance marketplace.
