In the change of physician process, the deadline commonly cited for providing a form is five calendar days. True or False?

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not stated
• D. Unknown

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is the timing for delivering the form when changing physicians. In the change-of-physician process, the form is typically provided within five calendar days of the request. This five-day window keeps the transition moving promptly, helping to ensure continuity of care for the employee and giving the new physician and the plan enough time to coordinate the change. It’s a standard practice you’ll see in SIP guidance and materials, so the statement reflects the commonly cited timeframe. Options suggesting no stated deadline or an unknown deadline don’t align with this widely taught standard, and choosing not stated would ignore the established five-day benchmark you’re expected to know.
