While you explore

Pause if an explanation, plan year, or agent name is unclear. Use the platform’s help or contact Steve; do not send private application details by ordinary email or text.

After you submit

Keep the confirmation and follow the insurer’s instructions. An application submission does not mean coverage is active. Steve may need your permission and the appropriate servicing relationship to assist.
