1)         Sample copies of all payor agreements as required by Section 2051.280, when applicable, and provider agreements as required by Section 2051.290. If the terms and conditions in the agreements include significant, substantial or material changes or additions, the filing of one complete sample of each type of agreement, together with a description of all variable terms and conditions, will satisfy this requirement;

A material change or addition includes any modification of the information required by this Part that has significant effect on the operation of the administrator or DHCSP administrator or on the availability and accessibility of health care.

d)         All advertising and solicitation by an insurer regarding a DHCSP must comply with the requirements established by Section 2051.360.
