Why it matters
State insurance departments enforce these laws. Examples include misleading comparisons, false statements about benefits, and twisting, which means pushing a customer to drop a policy by using misleading claims. Penalties can include fines, license action, and orders to repay consumers. The exact list and penalties vary by state. Families who think an agent misled them can file a complaint with their state department of insurance.
