Marketing/sales events are prohibited from occurring within what timeframe of an educational event in the same location?

The correct timeframe for when marketing or sales events are prohibited in relation to educational events is 12 hours. This regulation is in place to ensure that educational events maintain their purpose of informing beneficiaries without the influence of sales tactics or marketing pressures. By having this stipulation, it promotes a clear distinction between education and marketing, allowing attendees to receive unbiased information about their healthcare options without being immediately targeted for sales after the educational session. This guideline helps preserve the integrity of the educational event and the trust of the attendees in the information being presented.
