Preserve the listing
- The plan or directory name and date checked.
- What the listing represented about participation or availability.
- A dated copy kept in your own secure records.
- A factual account of contact attempts and the response.
Ask the plan to explain the discrepancy
Record the request and any response. Avoid assuming that a directory mismatch establishes a particular violation. The packet organizes the available evidence and flags records to locate.
Review the destination before sharing
Possible complaint routes depend on the plan and issue. For Texas directory concerns, the builder also links to Attorney General consumer information. Read the recipient’s disclosure and privacy notices before sending records.
