Advertising Reminders
Any type of sales or advertising materials, including print ads, TV or radio scripts, electronic format or email, flyers, or direct mail pieces, must be submitted to the Home Office for written approval prior to publication or use. Please allow two to three weeks for the review and evaluation of your piece. If state approval is required, allow additional time.

Some tips for getting your piece approved:

1. Clearly identify the full name of the Company, United American Insurance Company, at least once in the body of the advertisement, preferably near the top.

2. If the advertisement is for a Medicare Supplement policy, you must also include the Medicare disclaimer at the end of the piece in no smaller than 10-point type. The disclaimer should read: United American Insurance Company is not associated with Medicare, Social Security, or any other government agency.

3. Clearly identify the products and services mentioned in the sales piece by including the policy form number(s).

4. Use words and concepts that your intended audience can clearly understand. Avoid “industry” terms that the average person would not know. Also, avoid using ambiguous terms such as “comprehensive,” “the best,” or “the only.”

5. Use only the most recent facts and figures available when citing general financial information or statistics about the Company, its products, or its ratings. Always provide the source and date for any statistic, and source dates should not be more than two years old.
