Why A is correct
Under Reg 62 (11 NYCRR Part 52), the Outline of Coverage is a disclosure document built for comparison shopping: it lays out the policy's principal benefits, exclusions, reductions, and limitations in plain language so the applicant can weigh this policy against alternatives before committing. It is not the contract, not underwriting evidence, and not a rate guarantee - it exists so the buying decision is an informed one.
Why the other options are wrong
- B) The policy itself, together with the attached application, is the contract; the Outline of Coverage is disclosure material delivered during the solicitation.
- C) The applicant's medical history belongs in the underwriting file assembled with the application, not in a consumer disclosure document.
- D) No New York rule lets an insurer promise that long-term care premiums will never rise; even a guaranteed renewable policy can be re-rated on a class basis.
Memory hook
Outline of Coverage: the comparison-shopping sheet, not the contract.
