A method for populating and distributing an approved health insurance carrier form is provided, as well as a machine-readable storage device programmed to carry out the method. The method involves querying a person eligible for health insurance regarding his or her health history and that of any additional insured parties, receiving the responses electronically, and storing the responses in the form of digital data. The responses are then used to automatically generate one or more populated approved forms for one or more health insurance carriers. Reminders and updates can be electronically transmitted to the eligible person when new information is needed. By requiring the person to complete a single computerized questionnaire, as opposed to numerous paper forms, the method and device greatly streamline the process of obtaining health insurance.
