(b) Through the date that the policyholder notifies the carrier that the policyholder no longer intends to maintain coverage for the group through the carrier.

(2) Premiums shall be paid according to the premium payment provisions of the contract. The carrier shall include in the contract, in the billing notice, or in the application process for coverage, an option for the policyholder to make monthly premium payments and an option to make premium payments by automatic electronic transfer.
