Cevap
The producer must obtain a signed Statement of Good Health from the applicant to confirm no medical changes have occurred before coverage can be placed in force.
The correct answer accurately identifies that when an initial premium is not paid at the time of application, the producer must collect both the premium and a signed Statement of Good Health upon policy delivery. This legal document proves that the applicant remains insurable and their health has not changed adversely since the original underwriting occurred.
