Update notes

Last updated: 2026-10-30.

  • Added official Point32Health authorization and Harvard Pilgrim claims sources.
  • Rejected the future-revised November 1, 2026 filing details as evidence of an established October 30 rule. Initial and corrected filing intervals remain unresolved for the requested date.
  • Do not copy Tufts commercial filing periods into Harvard Pilgrim solely because both use Point32Health.
