Update notes

Last updated: 2026-10-30.

  • Verified official claims and authorization pages and their linked filing guidance. Limited the 90-day rule to the identified billing scope and retained contract exceptions.
  • The filing PDF is hosted on the plan-linked HubSpot document service. Medicare, One Care, SCO and out-of-state employee-plan routes need separate confirmation.
