The quarterly statement or accounting of charges shall include, in plain, straightforward language, avoiding technical terms as much as possible and using a coherent and easily readable style, all of the following:
(1) A statement that the charges for the excess costs of care are provided to the member for informational purposes only.

(3) A statement that advises the member to seek counsel from a legal expert to protect their assets.
(b) “Costs of care in excess of the member fee” means all costs that are not covered by the member contribution fee, including, but not limited to, the unreimbursed costs of medical or dental services rendered to the member, either by a home or under contract with a home. The Department of Veterans Affairs shall promulgate regulations specifying the costs that are in excess of the member contribution fee and constitute the unreimbursed costs of care.
(c) The quarterly statement or accounting described in subdivision (a) and any notice relating to quarterly statements posted in a home shall be in 14-point font or larger.
