Update notes

Last updated: 2026-10-30.

• Added official Regence BlueCard and FEP guidance. Kept FEP filing separate from commercial coverage.

• Official indexed Availity guidance confirms electronic claims access; the public page renders a script-only shell. No authenticated transaction was tested.
