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.
