Full text of Ohio Ohio Revised Code § 3923.16, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 3923.16.
No insurer doing business in this state, and no insurance agent, solicitor, or broker,
shall use in connection with the solicitation of sickness and accident insurance any
advertising copy, advertising practice, or plan of solicitation which is materially
misleading or deceptive. An advertising copy, advertising practice, or plan of solicitation is materially
misleading or deceptive if, by implication or otherwise, it transmits information
in such manner or of such substance that a prospective applicant for sickness and
accident insurance may be led thereby to his material damage. If, after due notice and hearing, the superintendent of insurance finds that any such
advertising copy, advertising practice, or plan of solicitation is materially misleading
or deceptive, he shall order the insurer, agent, solicitor, or broker using such copy,
practice, or plan to cease such use. Upon making such a finding the superintendent may also, by order, suspend the certificate
of authority of such insurer to transact business within this state, or suspend the
license issued to such agent, solicitor, or broker, for a period of not more than
ninety days. If the superintendent finds, after due notice and hearing, that any authorized insurer,
licensed insurance agent, licensed insurance solicitor, or licensed insurance broker
has willfully violated any such order to cease, he may suspend or revoke the certificate
of authority of such insurer, or the license issued to such agent, solicitor, or broker.
