Agent Mary Jennings makes a presentation on Medicare advertised as an educational event. Agent Jennings distributes materials that are solely educational in nature. However, she gives a brief presentation that mentions plan-specific premiums. Is this a prohibited activity at an event that has been advertised as educational?

Choose one answer.
a. Yes. Whether or not an event has been advertised as "educational" or a "sales presentation," discussing plan-specific information is impermissible.
b. Yes. When an event has been advertised as "educational," discussing plan-specific premiums is impermissible.
c. No. This action is permissible. Handing out enrollment forms, on the other hand, would not be permissible

Answer:

The correct answer is b. Yes. When an event has been advertised as "educational," discussing plan-specific premiums is impermissible.

Step-by-step explanation:

Why do we want to organize an educational event? This question will define the main objective of the activity. Although, per se, the goal is to educate people, maybe they are also looking to sell the places in question or maybe they just want to spread a specific topic. It is important to determine this to know what actions we should take.

In the event that this is required, I will have to get the necessary sponsorships to carry out the academic event in question. For this, and with a well-defined plan, you will have to approach different brands to achieve it.
