Which form of pre-notification is described as required?

• A. Must be made in writing
• B. Must be made via a phone call
• C. Must be made by text or email
• D. Must be made before 24 hours prior

Answer: (A)

Written pre-notification is required because it creates a formal, verifiable record of what was communicated, to whom, and when. A written notice provides durable proof that can be stored, referenced, and authenticated if needed, which helps ensure compliance and reduces disputes. Relying on a phone call, text, or email can leave gaps in proof or be contested, and timing alone (such as a 24-hour window) doesn't by itself establish an official record. So, the form that satisfies the requirement is a written notice with proper documentation and, often, an acknowledgement or signature.
