Idaho Health Insurance Practice Exam Free - 2026

• A. 10 days
• B. 20 days
• C. 30 days
• D. 15 days

Correct answer: A. 10 days

Explanation: Idaho Code 41-2138 requires every individual health insurance policy (except nonrenewable accident and credit health policies) to allow the purchaser to return it within ten (10) days of delivery for a refund of premium if not satisfied for any reason. Twenty days is the life and annuity free look under 41-1935, thirty days is the Medicare supplement free look under 41-4407, and fifteen days is not an Idaho free-look period. See Idaho Code § 41-2138.

• A. 7 days
• B. 31 days
• C. 10 days
• D. 30 days

Correct answer: C. 10 days

Explanation: Idaho Code 41-2107 requires the grace period provision to insert a number not less than 7 for weekly premium policies, 10 for monthly premium policies and 31 for all other policies, so a monthly-premium policy must allow at least ten (10) days. Seven days applies only to weekly premium policies, 31 days to policies paid less often than monthly, and 30 days is the life insurance grace period under 41-1904. See Idaho Code § 41-2107.

• A. 6 months from the date of issue
• B. 12 months from the date of issue
• C. 24 months from the date of issue
• D. Immediately; no preexisting-condition defense is ever allowed on such a policy

Correct answer: B. 12 months from the date of issue

Explanation: Idaho Code 41-2106(3) provides that if an insurer elects to use a simplified application form without questions concerning health history or medical treatment history, the policy must cover any loss occurring after twelve (12) months from any preexisting condition not specifically excluded by the policy terms, and may not otherwise include wording permitting a preexisting-condition defense. Six months is the look-back used in 41-2221 and 41-4708, and twenty-four months is the general time limit on certain defenses in 41-2106(1); D is wrong because the statute permits the defense during the first twelve months. See Idaho Code § 41-2106.

• A. Not less than 10 days before the premium due date
• B. Not less than 45 days before the premium due date
• C. Not less than 60 days before the premium due date
• D. Not less than 30 days before the premium due date

Correct answer: D. Not less than 30 days before the premium due date

Explanation: Idaho Code 41-2107 requires a policy in which the insurer reserves the right to refuse renewal to begin its grace period provision with the statement that the grace period applies unless, not less than thirty (30) days prior to the premium due date, the insurer has delivered or mailed to the insured's last address written notice of its intention not to renew. Ten days is the monthly-premium grace period in the same section; forty-five days is the commercial lines nonrenewal notice under 41-1842; sixty days is not an Idaho health nonrenewal figure. See Idaho Code § 41-2107.
