4. A carrier, multiple employer welfare arrangement or other health benefits plan provider shall provide each primary insured with a new pharmacy identification card within a reasonable time, not to exceed 180 days, after a change in the insured's coverage that changes the information required to be on the card pursuant to section 2 of this act, if the issuance of a new card is required for proper claims adjudication. The carrier, multiple employer welfare arrangement or other health benefits plan provider shall not, however, be required to issue a new card more than once in a calendar year.
