I disagree. B makes more sense. Only those who used the provider need to know.

I recall that the law emphasizes notifying enrollees, but I can't remember if it’s just those who have seen the provider or all enrollees. This is tricky!

I feel like option C makes sense because it specifies primary care providers, but I’m unsure if the termination of any provider is always considered material.

I think we practiced a similar question where the focus was on notifying enrollees based on their relationship with the provider. It might depend on whether the provider is a primary care provider or not.

I remember discussing how material changes are defined in the HMO Model Act, but I'm not entirely sure if all provider terminations count as material changes.
