The insurer underwrites the risk, approves the application, and issues the policy. When the producer delivers the policy to the applicant, what must be obtained before the coverage can become effective?

  1. The initial premium and a signed Statement of Good HealthCevap
  2. B
    The initial premium only
  3. C
    The initial premium and a signed Conditional Receipt
  4. D
    A signed warranty guaranteeing all original application answers are absolutely true

Cevap

The initial premium and a signed Statement of Good Health
When an applicant does not pay the initial premium at the time of application, no consideration has been given by the applicant, and no coverage is in effect during the underwriting process. For the policy to legally become effective upon delivery, the applicant must provide the required consideration (the initial premium) and sign a Statement of Good Health, which verifies that their medical condition has not changed since the original application date.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the timing of the premium payment in the scenario.
The scenario states the initial premium was not paid at the time of application.
The timing of the initial premium payment dictates the rules for when coverage becomes effective.
2
Determine the requirements for coverage to become effective upon policy delivery.
The producer must collect the initial premium and obtain a signed Statement of Good Health.
Because no premium was paid initially, the insurer has not been on the risk. The insurer must verify that the applicant's insurability has not degraded between the application date and the delivery date.

Anahtar Kavram

When an initial premium is not paid with the application, the policy does not take effect until the premium is collected and a Statement of Good Health is signed at policy delivery.
