Any notice of discontinuance so given by the carrier shall include a request to the group policyholder or other entity involved to notify employees covered under the policy or contract of the date as of which the group policy or contract will discontinue and to advise that unless otherwise provided in the policy or contract, the carrier shall not be liable for claims for losses incurred after such date.
