What is NOT a service for which an insurance producer can charge a separate fee according to Colorado regulations?

In Colorado, regulations specify that insurance producers may charge separate fees for certain specialized services that extend beyond the insurance transaction itself. Quoting premiums is considered a fundamental part of the insurance producer's role, which involves providing potential clients with estimates of costs for insurance coverage based on their specific needs and circumstances. This quoting process is inherently part of the insurance sales process and does not warrant an additional fee.

On the other hand, services such as investment counseling, financial planning, and risk management services involve more comprehensive analyses and advice that extend beyond the basic function of obtaining insurance quotes. These services require specialized knowledge and skills, which justifies the imposition of a separate fee. Charging for these additional services is permissible since they often involve extensive work and are not directly tied to a specific insurance policy sale.
