· Sign the paperwork, make sure you get a copy of everything, and give the agent a premium check made out to the insurance company.
· Check your policy carefully when it arrives to make sure all your personal information is correct and that you are covered during the period for which you applied.
· Extend your coverage by buying additional temporary insurance if the effective date of your permanent health plan is delayed. Coverage usually ends at midnight on the last day of the term specified, and there is nothing further you have to do after it terminates.
