Why did I just get a “clarifications and changes” document in the mail yesterday, when the effective date on the “clarifications and changes” was 28 days prior, and the date that the information was prepared is listed as 7/07? Shouldn’t I have gotten the information sooner? What if I had made a claim in the new year, but didn’t receive the changes until today? It’s not as though the insurer didn’t have the changes - they probably filed them with the State of North Carolina in July of ‘07.
My preference would be to get the changes a month or two before they became effective, so that if I had any issue I could take action and make changes. Fortunately the changes won’t impact us, but it would have been nice to be notified ahead of time.
