(b) Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit disability insurers from establishing reasonable guidelines in connection with the activities regulated pursuant to this part, including those to prevent advertising that is, in whole or in part, untrue, misleading, deceptive, or otherwise inconsistent with this part or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For advertisements mentioning a provider’s participation in a plan or product line of a disability insurer, nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit disability insurers from requiring each advertisement to contain a disclaimer to the effect that the provider’s services may be covered for some, but not all, plans or product lines of the disability insurer, or that the disability insurer may cover some, but not all, provider services.

(c) Nothing in this section is intended to prohibit provisions or agreements intended to protect service marks, trademarks, trade secrets, or other confidential information or property.
