ARTICLE II

SERVICES/OBLIGATIONS

 

2.1
Member Identification. Anthem shall ensure that Plan provides a means of identifying Member either by issuing a paper, plastic, electronic, or other identification document to Member or by a telephonic, paper or electronic communication to Provider. This identification need not include all information necessary to determine Member's eligibility at the time a Health Service is rendered, but shall include information necessary to contact Plan to determine Member's participation in the applicable Health Benefit Plan. Provider acknowledges and agrees that possession of such identification document or ability to access eligibility information telephonically or electronically, in and of itself, does not qualify the holder thereof as a Member, nor does the lack thereof mean that the person is not a Member.

 

2.2
Provider Non-discrimination. Provider shall provide Health Services to Members in a manner similar to and within the same time availability in which Provider provides Health Services to any other individual. Provider will not differentiate, or discriminate against any Member as a result of his/her enrollment in a Health Benefit Plan, or because of race, color, creed, national origin, ancestry, religion, sex, marital status, age, disability, payment source, state of health, need for Health Services, status as a litigant, status as a Medicare or Medicaid beneficiary, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other basis prohibited by law.

2.6
Payment in Full and Hold Harmless.

 

2.6.1
Provider agrees to accept as payment in full, in all circumstances, the applicable Anthem Rate whether such payment is in the form of a Cost Share, a payment by Plan, or a payment by another source, such as through coordination of benefits or subrogation. Provider shall bill, collect, and accept compensation for Cost Shares. Provider agrees to make reasonable efforts to verify Cost Shares prior to billing for such Cost Shares. In no event shall Plan be obligated to pay Provider or any person acting on behalf of Provider for services that are not Covered Services, or any amounts in excess of the Anthem Rate less Cost Shares or payment by another source, as set forth above. Consistent with the foregoing, Provider agrees to accept the Anthem Rate as payment in full if the Member has not yet satisfied his/her deductible.

 

2.6.2
Except as expressly permitted under Regulatory Requirements, Provider agrees that in no event, including but not limited to, nonpayment by applicable Plan, insolvency of applicable Plan, breach of this Agreement, or Claim payment denials or adjustment requests or recoupments based on miscoding or other billing errors of any type, whether or not fraudulent or abusive, shall Provider, or any person acting on behalf of Provider, bill, charge, collect a deposit from, seek compensation from, or have any other recourse against a Member, or a person legally acting on the Member's behalf, for Covered Services provided pursuant to this Agreement. In the event of nonpayment and/or insolvency of a Plan that is not underwritten by Anthem or an Affiliate, Provider further agrees that it shall not seek compensation from or have any other recourse against Anthem or an Affiliate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Provider may collect reimbursement from the Member for the following:

2.7
Recoupment/Offset/Adjustment for Overpayments. Anthem shall be entitled to offset and recoup an amount equal to any overpayments or improper payments made by Anthem to Provider against any payments due and payable by Anthem to Provider with respect to any Health Benefit Plan under this Agreement. Provider shall voluntarily refund all duplicate or erroneous Claim payments regardless of the cause, including, but not limited to, payments for Claims where the Claim was miscoded, non-compliant with industry standards, or otherwise billed in error, whether or not the billing error was fraudulent, abusive or wasteful. Upon determination by Anthem that any recoupment, improper payment, or overpayment is due from Provider, Provider must refund the amount to Anthem within thirty (30) days of when Anthem notifies Provider. If such reimbursement is not received by Anthem within the thirty (30) days following the date of such notice, Anthem shall be entitled to offset such overpayment against any Claims payments due and payable by Anthem to Provider under any Health Benefit Plan in accordance with Regulatory Requirements. In such event, Provider agrees that all future Claim payments applied to satisfy Provider's repayment obligation shall be deemed to have been paid in full for all purposes, including section 2.6.1. Should Provider disagree with any determination by Plan that Provider has received an overpayment, Provider shall have the right to appeal such determination under Anthem's procedures set forth in the provider manual, and such appeal shall not suspend Anthem's right to recoup the overpayment amount during the appeal process, unless suspension of the right to recoup is otherwise required by Regulatory Requirements. Anthem reserves the right to employ a third party collection agency in the event of non-payment.

 

2.8
Use of Subcontractors. Provider and Plan may fulfill some of their duties under this Agreement through subcontractors. For purposes of this provision, subcontractors shall include, but are not limited to, vendors and non-Participating Providers that provide supplies, equipment, staffing, and other services to Members at the request of, under the supervision of, and/or at the place of business of Provider. Provider shall provide Anthem with thirty (30) days prior notice of any Health Services subcontractors with which Provider may contract to perform Provider's duties and obligations under this Agreement, and Provider shall remain responsible to Plan for the compliance of his/her/its subcontractors with the terms and conditions of this Agreement as applicable, including, but not limited to, the Payment in Full and Hold Harmless provisions herein.

 

 

2.9
Compliance with Provider Manual(s) and Policies, Programs and Procedures. Provider agrees to cooperate and comply with, Anthem's provider manual(s), and all other policies, programs and procedures (collectively "Policies") established and implemented by Plan applicable to the Network(s) in which Provider participates. Anthem or its designees may modify the provider manual(s) and its Policies by making a good faith effort to provide notice to Provider at least thirty (30) days in advance of the effective date of material modifications thereto.

 

2.10
Referral Incentives/Kickbacks. Provider represents and warrants that Provider does not give, provide, condone or receive any incentives or kickbacks, monetary or otherwise, in exchange for the referral of a Member, and if a Claim for payment is attributable to an instance in which Provider provided or received an incentive or kickback in exchange for the referral, such Claim shall not be payable and, if paid in error, shall be refunded to Anthem.

Provider in such Networks until the later of: 1) the Effective Date of this Agreement or; 2) as determined by Plan in its sole discretion, the date Provider has met Plan's applicable credentialing requirements, standards of participation and accreditation requirements. Provider acknowledges that Plan may develop, discontinue, or modify new or existing Networks, products and/or programs. In addition to those Networks designated on the Provider Networks Attachment, Anthem may also identify Provider as a Participating Provider in additional Networks, products and/or programs designated in writing from time to time by Anthem. The terms and conditions of Provider's participation as a Participating Provider in such additional Networks, products and/or programs shall be on the terms and conditions as set forth in this Agreement unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Provider and Anthem.

 

In addition to and separate from Networks that support some or all of Plan's products and/or programs (e.g., HMO, PPO and Indemnity products), Provider further acknowledges that certain Health Services, including by way of example only, laboratory or behavioral health services, may be provided exclusively by designated Participating Providers (a "Health Services Designated Network"), as determined by Plan. Provider agrees to refer Members to such designated Participating Providers in a Health Services Designated Network for the provision of certain Health Services, even if Provider performs such services. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, if Provider provides a Health Service to a Member for which Provider is not a designated Participating Provider in a Health Services Designated Network, then Provider agrees that he/she/it shall not be reimbursed for such services by Anthem, Plan or the Member, unless Provider was authorized to provide such Health Service by Plan.

 

2.12
Change in Provider Information. Provider shall immediately send written notice, in accordance with the Notice section of this Agreement, to Anthem of:

 

2.12.1
Any legal, governmental, or other action or investigation involving Provider which could affect Provider's credentialing status with Plan, or materially impair the ability of Provider to carry out his/her/its duties and obligations under this Agreement, except for temporary emergency diversion situations; or

A description of the applicable credentialing requirements, standards of participation, and accreditation requirements, are set forth in the provider manual(s) and/or in the PCS. Provider acknowledges that until such time as Provider has been determined to have fully met Plan's credentialing requirements, standards of participation, and accreditation requirements, as applicable, Provider shall not be entitled to the benefits of participation under this Agreement, including without limitation the Anthem Rates set forth in the PCS attached hereto.
2.14
Adjustment Requests. If Provider believes a Claim has been improperly adjudicated for a Covered Service for which Provider timely submitted a Claim to Plan, Provider must submit a request for an adjustment to Plan in accordance with the provider manual(s).

 

2.15
Provision and Supervision of Services. In no way shall Anthem or Plan be construed to be providers of Health Services or responsible for, exercise control, or have direction over the provision of such Health Services. Provider shall be solely responsible to the Member for treatment, medical care, and advice with respect to the provision of Health Services. Provider agrees that all Health Services provided to Members under this Agreement shall be provided by Provider or by a qualified person under Provider's direction. Provider warrants that any nurses or other health professionals employed by or providing services for Provider shall be duly licensed or certified under applicable law. In addition, nothing herein shall be construed as authorizing or permitting Provider to abandon any Member.

CONFIDENTIALITY/RECORDS

 

3.1
Proprietary and Confidential Information. Except as otherwise provided herein, all information and material provided by either party in contemplation of or in connection with this Agreement remains proprietary and confidential to the disclosing party. This Agreement, including but not limited to the Anthem Rates, is Anthem's proprietary and confidential information. Neither party shall disclose any information proprietary or confidential to the other, or use such information or material except: (1) as otherwise set forth in this Agreement; (2) as may be required to perform obligations hereunder; (3) as required to deliver Health Services or administer a Health Benefit Plan; (4) to Plan or its designees; (5) upon the express written consent of the parties; or (6) as required by Regulatory Requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may disclose such information to its legal advisors, lenders and business advisors, provided that such legal advisors, lenders and business advisors agree to maintain confidentiality of such information. Provider and Anthem shall each have a system in place that meets all applicable Regulatory Requirements to protect all records and all other documents relating to this Agreement which are deemed confidential by law. Any disclosure or transfer of proprietary or confidential information by Provider or Anthem will be in accordance with applicable Regulatory Requirements. Provider shall immediately notify Anthem if Provider is required to disclose any proprietary or confidential information at the request of an Agency or pursuant to any federal or state freedom of information act request.

 

3.2
Confidentiality of Member Information. Both parties agree to comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 ("HIPAA") and the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act ("HITECH Act"), and as both may be amended, as well as any other applicable Regulatory Requirements regarding confidentiality, use, disclosure, security and access of the Member's personally identifiable information ("PII") and protected health information ("PHI"), (collectively "Member Information"). Provider shall review all Member Information received from Anthem to ensure no misrouted Member Information is included. Misrouted Member Information includes but is not limited to, information about a Member that Provider is not currently treating. Provider shall immediately destroy any misrouted Member Information or safeguard the Member Information for as long as it is retained. In no event shall Provider be permitted to misuse or re- disclose misrouted Member Information.

3.3

In addition, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to, create any financial incentive for Provider to withhold Covered Services, or prohibit Provider from disclosing to the Member the general methodology by which Provider is compensated under this Agreement, such as for example, whether Provider is paid on a fee for service, capitation or Percentage Rate basis. Plan shall not refuse to allow or to continue the participation of any otherwise eligible provider, or refuse to compensate Provider in connection with services rendered, solely because Provider has in good faith communicated with one or more of his/her/its current, former or prospective patients regarding the provisions, terms or requirements of a Health Benefit Plan as they relate to the health needs of such patient. Nothing in this section shall be construed to permit Provider to disclose Anthem Rates or specific terms of the compensation arrangement under this Agreement.

 

 

3.4
Plan Access to and Requests for Provider Records. Provider and its designees shall comply with all applicable state and federal record keeping and retention requirements, and, as set forth in the provider manual(s) and/or Participation Attachment(s), shall permit Plan or its designees to have, with appropriate working space and without charge, on-site access to and the right to perform an Audit, examine, copy,

3.6
Clinical Data Sharing. Anthem and Provider desire to collaborate by sharing data, including Member Information, to enhance certain health care operations activities, primarily to help improve quality and efficiency of health care. Each party's access to better clinical and administrative data is critical to the mutual goal of Anthem and Provider improving health care quality as it relates to their respective Members and patients.

The obligation to provide indemnification under this Agreement shall be contingent upon the party seeking indemnification providing the indemnifying party with prompt written notice of any claim for which indemnification is sought, allowing the indemnifying party to control the defense and settlement of such claim, provided however that the indemnifying party agrees not to enter into any settlement or compromise of any claim or action in a manner that admits fault or imposes any restrictions or obligations on an indemnified party without that indemnified party's prior written consent which will not be unreasonably withheld, and cooperating fully with the indemnifying party in connection with such defense and settlement.

Further, in no event shall Plan be liable to Provider for any extracontractual damages relating to any claim or cause of action assigned to Provider by any person or entity.

 

ARTICLE VII

DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION

 

7.1
Dispute Resolution. All disputes between an Anthem Entity and Provider arising out of or related in any manner to this Agreement shall be resolved using the dispute resolution and arbitration procedures as set forth below. Provider shall exhaust any other applicable provider appeal/provider dispute resolution procedures under this Agreement, specifically timely compliance with the particular Anthem Entity's provider appeal process, and any applicable exhaustion requirements imposed by Regulatory Requirements as a condition precedent to Provider's right to pursue the dispute resolution and arbitration procedures as set forth below.

 

7.1.1
In order to invoke the dispute resolution procedures in this Agreement, a party first shall send to the other party a written demand letter that contains a detailed description of the dispute and all relevant underlying facts, a detailed description of the amount(s) in dispute and how they have been calculated and any other information that the Anthem provider manual(s) may require Provider to submit with respect to such dispute. If the total amount in dispute as set forth in the demand letter is less than two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000), exclusive of interest, costs, and attorneys' fees, then within twenty (20) days following the date on which the receiving party receives the demand letter, representatives of each party's choosing shall meet to discuss the dispute in person or telephonically in an effort to resolve the dispute.

interest, costs, and attorneys' fees, then within ninety (90) days following the date of the demand letter, the parties shall engage in non-binding mediation in an effort to resolve the dispute unless both parties agree in writing to waive the mediation requirement. The parties shall mutually agree upon a mediator, and failing to do so, Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services ("JAMS") shall be authorized to appoint a mediator.

 

7.2
Arbitration. Any dispute within the scope of subsection 7.1.1 that remains unresolved at the conclusion of the applicable process outlined in subsection 7.1.1 shall be resolved by binding arbitration in the manner as set forth below. Except to the extent as set forth below, the arbitration shall be conducted pursuant to the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, provided, however, that the parties may agree in writing to further modify the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. The parties agree to be bound by the findings of the arbitrator(s) with respect to such dispute, subject to the right of the parties to appeal such findings as set forth herein. No arbitration demand shall be filed until after the parties have completed the dispute resolution efforts described in section 7.1 above. If the dispute resolution efforts described in section 7.1 cannot be completed within the deadlines specified for such efforts despite the parties' good faith efforts to meet such deadlines, such deadlines may be extended as necessary upon mutual agreement of the parties. Enforcement of this arbitration clause, including the waiver of class actions, shall be determined under the Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA"), including the FAA's preemptive effect on state law. The parties agree that the arbitration shall be conducted on a confidential basis pursuant to Rule 26 of the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. Subject to any disclosures that may be required or requested under Regulatory Requirements, the parties further agree that they shall maintain the confidential nature of the arbitration, including without limitation, the existence of the arbitration, information exchanged during the arbitration, and the award of the arbitrator(s). Nothing in this provision, however, shall preclude either party from disclosing any such details regarding the arbitration to its accountants, auditors, brokers, insurers, reinsurers or retrocessionaires.

 

7.2.1
Location of Arbitration. The arbitration hearing shall be held in the city and state in which the principal office of the applicable Anthem Entity is located. Notwithstanding the foregoing, both parties can agree in writing to hold the arbitration hearing in some other location.

 

7.2.2
Selection and Replacement of Arbitrator(s). If the total amount in dispute with the party is less than four million dollars ($4,000,000), exclusive of interest, costs, and attorneys' fees, the dispute shall be decided by a single arbitrator selected, and replaced when required, in the manner described in the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. If the total amount in dispute is four million dollars ($4,000,000) or more, exclusive of interest, costs, and attorneys' fees, the dispute shall be decided by an arbitration panel consisting of three (3) arbitrators, unless the parties agree in writing that the dispute shall be decided by a single arbitrator.

 

7.2.3
Appeal. If the total amount of the arbitration award with the party is five million dollars ($5,000,000) or more, inclusive of interest, costs, and attorneys' fees, or if the arbitrator(s) issues an injunction against a party, the parties shall have the right to appeal the decision of the arbitrator(s) pursuant to the JAMS Optional Arbitration Appeal Procedure. A decision that has been appealed shall not be enforceable while the appeal is pending. In reviewing a decision of the arbitrator(s), the appeal panel shall apply the same standard of review that a United States Court of Appeals would apply in reviewing a similar decision issued by a United States District Court in the jurisdiction in which the arbitration hearing was held.

 

7.2.4
Waiver of Certain Claims. The parties, on behalf of themselves and those that they may now or hereafter represent, each agree to and do hereby waive any right to join or consolidate claims in arbitration by or against other individuals or entities or to pursue, on a class basis, any dispute; provided however, if there is a dispute regarding the applicability or enforcement of the waiver provision in this subsection 7.2.4, that dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction.

with respect to a particular dispute, then the parties agree that section 7.2 shall not apply to such dispute and that such dispute shall be decided instead in a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

7.2.5
Limitations on Injunctive Relief. Each Anthem Entity on the one hand, and the Provider on the other hand, on behalf of themselves and those that they may now or hereafter represent, each agree that any injunctive relief sought against the other party shall be limited to the conduct relevant to the parties to the arbitration and shall not be sought for the benefit of individuals or entities who are not parties to the arbitration. The arbitrator(s) are not authorized to issue injunctive relief for the benefit of an individual or entity who is not a party to the arbitration. The arbitrator shall be limited to issuing injunctive relief related to the specific issues in the arbitration.
7.3
Attorney's Fees and Costs. The shared fees and costs of the non-binding mediation and arbitration (e.g. fee of the mediator, fee of the independent arbitrator) will be shared equally between the Anthem Entity that is party to the dispute on the one hand, and the Provider on the other hand. Each party shall be responsible for the payment of its own specific fees and costs (e.g. the party's own attorney's fees, the fees of the party selected arbitrator, etc.) and any costs associated with conducting the non-binding mediation or arbitration that the party chooses to incur (e.g. expert witness fees, depositions, etc.). Notwithstanding this provision, the arbitrator may issue an order in accordance with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure Rule 11.

 

7.4
Period of Limitations. Unless otherwise provided for in this Agreement, or a Participation Attachment(s), neither party shall commence any action at law or equity, including but not limited to, an arbitration demand, against the other to recover on any legal or equitable claim arising out of this Agreement ("Action") more than two (2) years after the events which gave rise to such Action; provided, however, this two (2) year limitation shall not apply to Actions by Anthem against Provider related to fraud, waste or abuse which shall be subject to the period of limitations set forth in applicable Regulatory Requirements. In the situation where Provider believes that Anthem underpaid a Claim, the Action arises on the date when Anthem first denies the Claim or first pays the Claim in an amount less than expected by Provider. In the situation where Anthem believes that it overpaid a Claim, the Action arises when Provider first contests in writing Anthem's notice to it that the overpayment was made. The deadline for initiating an Action shall not be tolled by the appeal process, provider dispute resolution process or any other administrative process. To the extent an Action is timely commenced, it will be administered in accordance with Article VII of this Agreement.

 

ARTICLE VIII

8.1

9.7.1
In addition to the foregoing, Provider warrants and represents that at the time of entering into this Agreement, neither he/she/it nor any of his/her/its employees, contractors, subcontractors, principals or agents are ineligible, excluded, suspended, terminated or debarred from participating in a Government Program ("Ineligible Person"). Provider shall remain continuously responsible for ensuring that his/her/its employees, contractors, subcontractors, principals or agents are not Ineligible Persons.

9.8
Governing Law. This is a multi-party health plan agreement where each health plan, each Anthem Entity, has an independent agreement with the Provider. The governing law of the state of the applicable Anthem Entity that is in a dispute with the Provider shall govern any such dispute, unless such state laws are otherwise preempted by federal law.

2.5
Out of Network Referrals and Transfers. In addition to the Cost Effective Care provision in the Agreement, Provider may refer or transfer a Commercial Business Member to a non-Participating Provider after obtaining a written acknowledgement (e.g. written waiver form) from the Commercial Business Member, prior to the provision of the service, indicating that: (1) the Commercial Business Member was advised that no coverage, or only out-of-network coverage would be available from Plan; and (2) the Commercial Business Member agreed to be financially responsible for additional costs related to such service.

If Provider is unable to provide Health Services as described in the previous sentence, Provider will arrange for another Participating Provider to cover Provider's patients in Provider's absence.

 

ARTICLE V

5.4
Advance Directives. To the extent applicable, Provider shall establish and maintain written policies and procedures to implement MA Members' rights to make decisions concerning their health care, including the provision of written information to all adult MA Members regarding their rights under Regulatory Requirements to make decisions regarding their right to accept or refuse medical treatment and the right to execute an advance medical directive. Provider further agrees to document or oversee the documentation in the MA Members' medical records whether or not the MA Member has an advance directive, that Provider will follow state and federal requirements for advance directives and that Provider will provide for education of his/her/its staff and the community on advance directives.

 

5.5
Standards of Care. Provider agrees to provide MA Covered Services in a manner consistent with professionally recognized standards of health care.

 

5.6
Hold Harmless. In addition to the hold harmless provision in the Agreement, Provider agrees that in no event, including but not limited to non-payment by Plan, insolvency of Plan or breach of the Agreement, shall Provider bill, charge, collect a deposit from, seek compensation, remuneration or reimbursement from, or have any recourse against a MA Member or persons other than Plan acting on their behalf for MA Covered Services provided pursuant to this Attachment. This section does not prohibit the collection of supplemental charges or Cost Shares on Plan's behalf made in accordance with the terms of the MA Member's Health Benefit Plan or amounts due for services that have been correctly identified in advance as a non-MA Covered Service, subject to medical coverage criteria, with appropriate disclosure to the MA Member of their financial obligation. This advance notice must be provided in accordance with the CMS regulations for Medicare Advantage organizations. CMS regulations require that a coverage determination be made with a standard denial notice (Notice of Denial of Medical Coverage (or Payment)/CMS-10003) for a non-Covered Service when such Health Service is typically not covered, but could be covered under specific conditions. If prior to rendering the non-Covered Service, Provider obtains, or instructs the MA Member to obtain, a coverage determination of a non-Covered Service(s), the MA Member can be held financially responsible for non-Covered Services. However, if a service or item is never covered by the Plan, such as a statutory exclusion, and the MA Member's Evidence of Coverage ("EOC") clearly specifies that the service or item is never covered, the Provider does not have to seek a coverage determination from Anthem in order to hold the MA Member responsible for the full cost of the service or item. Additional information, related requirements and the process to request a coverage determination can be found in the Provider Guidebook. Both Parties agree that failure to follow the CMS regulations can result in Provider's financial liability.

 

5.6.1 Dual Eligibles. Provider further agrees that for MA Members who are dual eligible beneficiaries for Medicare and Medicaid, that Provider will ensure he/she/it will not bill the MA Member for Cost Sharing that is not the MA Member's responsibility and such MA Members will not be held liable for Medicare Parts A and B Cost Sharing when the State is liable for the Cost Sharing. In addition, Provider agrees to accept Plan payment as payment in full or Provider should bill the appropriate state source.

5.7
Continuation of Care-Insolvency. Provider agrees that in the event of Plan's insolvency, termination of the CMS contract or other cessation of operations, MA Covered Services to MA Members will continue through the period for which the premium has been paid to Plan, and services to MA Members confined in an inpatient hospital on the date of termination of the CMS contract or on the date of insolvency or other cessation of operations will continue until their discharge.

 

5.8
Out of Network Referrals and Transfers. In addition to the Cost Effective Care provision in the Agreement, Provider shall seek authorization from Plan prior to referring or transferring an MA Member to a non- Participating Provider. For Plan's HMO Medicare Advantage Network, if a Participating Provider is not accessible or available for a referral or transfer, then Provider shall call Plan for an authorization. If, however, a Participating Provider is accessible and available for a referral or transfer, then Provider shall transfer or refer the MA Member to such Participating Provider. For Plan's PPO MA Members, Provider

In addition, Anthem may also need to obtain approval from applicable Agency prior to Anthem making determination that New/Expanded Service or New/Expanded Technology can be considered a reimbursable service. If Anthem agrees that the New/Expanded Service or New/Expanded Technology may be reimbursable under this Agreement, then Anthem shall notify Provider, and both parties agree to negotiate in good faith, a new Anthem Rate for the New/Expanded Service or New/Expanded Technology within sixty (60) days of Anthem's notice to Provider.

Anthem shall only reimburse Non-Priced Codes for Covered Services in the following situations: (i) the Non-Priced Code does not have a published dollar amount on the then current applicable Plan, State or CMS Fee Schedule, (ii) the Non-Priced Code has a zero dollar amount listed, or (iii) the Non-Priced Code requires manual pricing. In such situations, such Non-Priced Code shall be reimbursed at a rate established by Anthem for such Covered Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Anthem shall not price Non-Priced Codes that are not Covered Services under the Members Health Benefit Plan. Anthem may require the submission of medical records, invoices, or other documentation for Claims payment consideration.

The effective date of such final fee schedule(s)/rate(s)/methodologies change shall be the effective date of the change as published by External Sources. Claims processed prior to the implementation of the new Anthem Rate(s) in Anthem's payment system shall not be reprocessed, however, if reprocessing is required by Regulatory Requirements, and such reprocessing could result in a potential under and/or over payment to a Provider, then Plan may reconcile the Claim adjustments to determine the remaining amount Provider owes Plan, or that Plan owes to Provider. Any resultant overpayment recoveries (i.e. Provider owes Plan) shall occur automatically without advance notification to Provider. Unless otherwise required by Regulatory Requirements, Anthem shall not be responsible for interest payments that may be the result of a late notification by External Sources to Anthem of fee schedule(s)/rate(s)/methodologies change.

2.7
Recoupment/Offset/Adjustment for Overpayments. Anthem shall be entitled to offset and recoup an amount equal to any overpayments or improper payments made by Anthem to Provider against any payments due and payable by Anthem to Provider with respect to any Health Benefit Plan under this Agreement. Provider shall voluntarily refund all duplicate or erroneous Claim payments regardless of the cause, including, but not limited to, payments for Claims where the Claim was miscoded, non-compliant with industry standards, or otherwise billed in error, whether or not the billing error was fraudulent, abusive or wasteful. Upon determination by Anthem that any recoupment, improper payment, or overpayment is due from Provider, Provider must refund the amount to Anthem within thirty (30) days of when Anthem notifies Provider. If such reimbursement is not received by Anthem within the thirty (30) days following the date of such notice, Anthem shall be entitled to offset such overpayment against any Claims payments due and payable by Anthem to Provider under any Health Benefit Plan in accordance with Regulatory Requirements. In such event, Provider agrees that all future Claim payments applied to satisfy Provider's repayment obligation shall be deemed to have been paid in full for all purposes, including section 2.6.1. Should Provider disagree with any determination by Plan that Provider has received an overpayment, Provider shall have the right to appeal such determination under Anthem's procedures set forth in the provider manual, and such appeal shall not suspend Anthem's right to recoup the overpayment amount during the appeal process unless suspension of the right to recoup is otherwise required by Regulatory Requirements. Anthem reserves the right to employ a third party collection agency in the event of non-payment. Nothing in this section shall be construed to limit Provider's rights pursuant to Plan's procedures for provider-carrier dispute resolution. For Claims not subject to Colorado state law, as amended from time to time, Plan may adjust such Claims, provided such erroneous payment has been identified and notice of the error has been provided to Provider.

 

2.8
Use of Subcontractors. Provider and Plan may fulfill some of their duties under this Agreement through subcontractors. For purposes of this provision, subcontractors shall include, but are not limited to, vendors and non-Participating Providers that provide supplies, equipment, staffing, and other services to Members at the request of, under the supervision of, and/or at the place of business of Provider. Provider shall provide Anthem with thirty (30) days prior notice of any Health Services subcontractors with which Provider may contract to perform Provider's duties and obligations under this Agreement, and Provider shall remain responsible to Plan for the compliance of his/her/its subcontractors with the terms and conditions of this Agreement as applicable, including, but not limited to, the Payment in Full and Hold Harmless provisions herein. Provider shall require such subcontractors to abide by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and all applicable policies, procedures, and manuals.

 

2.9
Compliance with Provider Manual(s) and Policies, Programs and Procedures. Provider and all subcontractors performing services under this Agreement, agree to cooperate and comply with, Anthem provider manual(s), and all other policies, programs and procedures (collectively "Policies") established and implemented by Plan applicable to the Network(s) in which Provider participates.

2.1.2 Provider agrees to participate in Anthem's exchange network(s) set forth on the Provider Networks Attachment, which may support both products or programs offered by Anthem through state-based, regional or federal health insurance exchanges ("Exchanges") established by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and products or programs offered by Anthem outside of Exchanges. Provider acknowledges and understands that products or programs offered through or outside of the Exchanges may differ, and that such products or programs are subject to Regulatory Requirements. Provider agrees to abide by all Regulatory Requirements of the Exchanges as they exist and as they may be amended or changed from time to time. Should Anthem change the name of the exchange network(s) set forth on the Provider Networks Attachment, it shall notify Provider.

 

2.3
Submission and Adjudication of Commercial Business Claims. Unless otherwise instructed, or required by Regulatory Requirements, Provider shall submit Claims to Plan, using appropriate and current Coded Service Identifier(s), within ninety (90) days from the date the Health Services are rendered or Plan will refuse payment. If Plan is the secondary payor, the ninety (90) day period will not begin until Provider receives notification of primary payor's responsibility.

 

2.3.1
Provider agrees to provide to Anthem, unless otherwise instructed, at no cost to Anthem, Plan or the Commercial Business Member, all information necessary for Plan to determine its payment liability. Such information includes, without limitation, accurate and Clean Claims for Commercial Business Covered Services. Once Anthem determines Plan has any payment liability, all Clean Claims will be paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of a Commercial Business Member's Health Benefit Plan, the PCS, and the provider manual(s).

 

2.3.2
Provider agrees to submit Claims in a format consistent with industry standards and acceptable to Plan either (a) electronically through electronic data interchange ("EDI"), or (b) if electronic submission is not available, utilizing paper forms as defined by the National Uniform Claim Committee ("NUCC"), the National Uniform Billing Committee ("NUBC"), or as otherwise set forth in the PCS.

 

2.3.3

2.4
Plan Payment Time Frames. Anthem, Plan or their designee and Provider, where required by Regulatory Requirements or the Health Benefit Plan, shall comply with the requirements of the Colorado prompt payment legislation, as may be applicable, for payment of Clean Claims for Commercial Business Covered Services. Such payment shall be made within thirty (30) days following receipt of a properly completed and submitted Clean Claim if submitted electronically and forty-five (45) days if submitted by hard copy. In the event additional information is required to appropriately process the Claim, Anthem will request such information within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Claim. Failure of Provider to provide the information requested within thirty (30) days of receipt of the request shall be grounds for denial of the Claim. In the event the Colorado prompt payment legislation is not applicable, Anthem shall require Plans or their designees to use commercially reasonable efforts to make payment or arrange for payment for all Clean Claims for Commercial Business Covered Services submitted by Provider within the time frames set forth in this section 2.4.

 

2.8
Adjustment Requests for Commercial Business Members. In addition to the Adjustment Requests provision in the Agreement, if Provider believes a Claim has been improperly adjudicated for a Commercial Business Covered Service for which Provider timely submitted a Claim to Plan or its designee, Provider must submit a Claim Action Request Form ("CARF") or make a request for an adjustment with Plan or its designees within twelve (12) months from the date of Plan's payment or explanation of payment, unless otherwise set forth in the provider manual. The request must be submitted in accordance with Plan's CARF or payment inquiry process. Requests for CARF or adjustments submitted after this date may be denied for payment, and Provider will not be permitted to bill Anthem, Plan, or the Commercial Business Member for those services for which payment was denied.

 

2.9
Prior Authorization. Consistent with utilization management, or unless otherwise set forth by Regulatory Requirements or the Health Benefit Plan, when a Plan requires prior authorization for a Commercial Business Covered Service, the provider who recommends or orders such Commercial Business Covered Service shall have sole responsibility for obtaining the required authorization, and not the Commercial Business Member. If a reduction in or denial of payment is imposed for failure of Provider to comply with Plan's utilization management, as set forth in the provider manual(s), Provider agrees that Anthem, Plan, and Commercial Business Member are not responsible for the amount of such reduction or denial.

 

2.10
Standing Referrals. Consistent with utilization management, or unless otherwise set forth by Regulatory Requirements or the Health Benefit Plan, Commercial Business Member shall be allowed to receive a standing referral, as defined in CRS 10-16-102 (64), for Medically Necessary treatment, to a specialist or specialized treatment center who is a Participating Provider. The primary care physician for the Commercial Business Member, in consultation with the specialist and Commercial Business Member, shall determine that the Commercial Business Member needs ongoing care from the specialist in order to make the standing referral. A time period for the standing referral, not to exceed one (1) year unless authorized by Plan, shall be determined by the primary care physician in consultation with the specialist or specialized treatment center. The specialist or specialized treatment center shall refer the Commercial Business Member back to the primary care physician for primary care. Treatment provided by the specialist or specialized treatment center must comply with all provisions of the Commercial Business Member's Health Benefit Plan. The primary care physician shall record the reason, diagnosis or treatment plan necessitating the standing referral.

 

 

2.11
Office Closure. Provider may close office to new patients upon sixty (60) days written notice to Anthem. The notice shall state the reason(s) for closing the office to new patients. "New Patients" shall mean patients who have not been seen by Provider in the three (3) years prior to the date notice is provided to Anthem. Changing category of coverage or changing from one provider or entity to another does not make a patient a "new patient".

 

Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by [**], has been omitted because American Well Corporation has determined that the information (i) is not material and (ii) is the type that American Well Corporation customarily and actually treats as private or confidential.

Recoupment/Offset/Adjustment for Overpayments for Commercial Business Members. For Claims subject to CRS 10-16-704 (4.5), as amended from time to time, Plan may adjust such Claims within twelve (12) months from the date of the original explanation of benefits which included the erroneous or duplicate payment. Plan may retroactively adjust Claims based on coordination of benefits with federally funded health plans, including Medicare and Medicaid within three (3) years of the date of service. Plan shall not retroactively adjust Claims based on eligibility if Provider received verification of eligibility within two (2) business days prior to providing a Commercial Business Covered Service. For Claims not subject to Colorado state law, as amended from time to time, Plan may adjust such Claims, provided such erroneous payment has been identified and notice of the error has been provided to Provider.

 

2.13
Provider Discussions. Provider shall not be prohibited from, and thus shall not be terminated, denied or otherwise have its participation or tiering in one or more of Anthem's provider networks conditioned, as a result of, expressing disagreement with Anthem's decision to deny or limit benefits to a Commercial Business Member because Provider assists the Commercial Business Member to seek reconsideration of Anthem's decision or because Provider discusses with a current, former, or prospective patient any aspect of the patient's medical condition, any proposed treatments or treatment alternatives, whether covered by the Health Benefit Plan or not, policy provisions of Health Benefit Plan, or Provider's personal recommendation regarding selection of a health plan based on the Provider's personal knowledge of the health needs of the patient. Provider shall not be prohibited from, and thus shall not be terminated, denied or otherwise have its participation or tiering in one or more of Anthem's provider networks conditioned, as a result of, doing any of the following in good faith: (i) communicating with a public official or other person concerning public policy issues related to health care items or services, (ii) filing a complaint, making a report or comments to an appropriate governmental body regarding actions, policies or practices of Anthem that Provider believes might negatively affect the quality of or access to, patient care, (iii) providing testimony, evidence, opinion, or any other public activity in any forum concerning a violation or possible violation of the provisions of this Section 2.13, (iv) reporting what Provider believes to be a violation of law to an appropriate authority, or (v) participating in any investigation into a violation or possible violation of any provision of this Section 2.13. Notwithstanding the forgoing, nothing in this Section 2.13 shall permit Provider, and Provider is prohibited, from making, publishing, disseminating, or circulating directly or indirectly or aiding, abetting, or encouraging the making, publishing, disseminating, or circulating of any oral or written statement or any pamphlet, circular, article, or literature that is false or maliciously critical of Anthem and calculated to injure Anthem. Furthermore nothing in this Section 2.13 shall prohibit Anthem from (i) terminating this Agreement because Provider materially misrepresents the provisions, terms, or requirements of Anthem's Health Benefit Plans, or (ii) terminating this Agreement without cause pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

 

2.13.1 Provider shall not be subjected to financial disincentives by Anthem based on the number of referrals made to Participating Providers in a Commercial Business Member's Health Benefit Plan for Commercial Business Covered Services, so long as Provider adheres to Anthem's utilization review policies and procedures.

 

2.14
Member Satisfaction Survey/Feedback – Pain Treatment. Anthem shall not take an adverse action against Provider or provide financial incentives or subject Provider to financial disincentives based solely on a Member satisfaction survey or other method of obtaining Member feedback relating to the Member's satisfaction with pain treatment.

3.2
Commercial Business Continuation of Care Upon Termination. In addition to the Continuation of Care Upon Termination provision in the Agreement, and unless otherwise required by Regulatory Requirements, Provider shall, upon termination of the Agreement for reasons other than the grounds set forth in the "Immediate Termination" section of the Agreement, continue to provide and be compensated for Commercial Business Covered Services to Commercial Business Members under the terms and conditions of the Agreement for sixty (60) days after the effective date of such termination. In either event, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Commercial Business Covered Services that are part of the global charge for the Health Services which caused an admission for such Health Services shall continue to be rendered and subject to the global charge in accordance with the Agreement, even though the Commercial Business Member has been discharged from Provider. In addition, Provider agrees to accept payment under the Agreement for those Commercial Business Members receiving outpatient treatment at the time of termination of the Agreement for which payment for such outpatient treatment was contemplated pursuant to a financial arrangement that constitutes a prepayment arrangement. So long as this Agreement in effect and notwithstanding subsection 3.3.2, if a Commercial Business Member's coverage is terminated for any reason other than nonpayment of premium, fraud, or abuse, Provider shall continue to provide and be compensated for Commercial Business Covered Services to Commercial Business Members under the terms and conditions of the Commercial Business Members' Health Benefit Plans and the Agreement until such Commercial Business Members are discharged from Provider.

ARTICLE IV

GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

4.1 This provision intentionally left blank.

 

4.3 Material Change. Anthem reserves the right to amend its policies and procedures (incorporated by reference herein) for Commercial Business by providing Provider with a written description of the Material Change at least ninety (90) days prior to the date that the Material Change becomes effective (the "Notice Period") on a form entitled "Notice of Material Change to Contract." The date that Anthem sends the material change notice by U.S. mail shall be referred to as the "Notice Date," and it shall mark the beginning of the Notice Period.

 

If the Provider does not object to this Material Change, in the manner described below, the Material Change will become effective at the end of the Notice Period. However, if Provider objects to the Material Change, Provider may terminate this Agreement rather than complying with the Material Change terms.

 

If the Provider objects in writing to the Material Change within fifteen (15) days and there is no resolution of the objection either party may terminate the contract upon written notice of termination provided to the other party not later than sixty (60) days before the effective date of the Material Change.

PLAN COMPENSATION SCHEDULE ("PCS")

 

I. DEFINITIONS

 

"Emergency Condition" means a medical condition manifesting itself by acute symptoms of sufficient severity (including severe pain) such that a prudent layperson, with an average knowledge of health and medicine, could reasonably expect the absence of immediate medical attention to result in (1) serious jeopardy to the health of the individual (or unborn child); (2) serious impairment to bodily functions; or (3) serious dysfunction of any bodily organ or part.

 

"Emergency Services" means those services necessary to screen for, diagnose or stabilize an Emergency Condition. Anthem shall compensate Provider for Emergency Services, if at all, according to the Member's Health Benefit Plan.

 

III.
PROVIDER TYPE

 

Specialty Physician Group Obligations. Provider will use his or her best efforts to require any non-participating Network health care provider to whom a Member is referred to abide by the terms of this Agreement. Provider must provide for the availability of emergency services twenty-four (24) hours, seven (7) days a week and to arrange for coverage by another provider when absent from his or her practice and, if such covering health care provider is not a Participating Provider, to use Provider's best efforts to cause such covering health care provider to abide by the terms of this Agreement.

 

Unless Anthem explicitly agrees otherwise, Provider acknowledges he or she is a Participating Provider at ALL locations and under ALL tax identification numbers.

IV.
SPECIFIC REIMBURSEMENT TERMS COMMERCIAL BUSINESS

Allowances for Injectable/Infusible/Oral Drugs, Vaccines and Radiopharmaceutical Agents. Plan shall automatically update its allowance for injectable/infusible/oral drugs, vaccines and radiopharmaceutical agents on a quarterly basis in accordance with the quarterly updates made by CMS to its drug pricing file or any other external or internal source as set forth in this PCS. Retroactive adjustments made by CMS to its drug pricing file shall be inapplicable to Anthem's fee allowances and payment responsibility.

 

Out-of-Network Compensation. Except for Government Programs, if Provider renders services to a Member who accesses a Network in which Provider does not participate, Provider will receive compensation as follows:

 

Plan shall compensate Provider for Emergency Services rendered to a Member based on the applicable Indemnity/Traditional/Standard Anthem Rate. Provider agrees to accept the Indemnity/Traditional/Standard Anthem Rate as payment in full and shall only bill for the applicable Cost Share.

 

Except for Emergency Services, if the Member's Health Benefit Plan requires authorization by the Plan or a Provider for out of Network Covered Services in order for the Member to have the highest level of benefits, and such authorization has been given, then Plan shall compensate Provider for such authorized Covered Services based on the applicable Participating Provider ("Indemnity/Traditional/Standard") Anthem Rate. Provider agrees to accept the Indemnity/Traditional/Standard Anthem Rate as payment in full and shall only bill for the applicable Cost Share. Except for Emergency Services, if the Member's Health Benefit Plan does not have out-of-network benefits unless authorized by the Plan or Provider, Plan shall have no liability for Health Services rendered without such authorization. In that event, Provider shall bill the Member for Health Services rendered.

 

Except for Emergency Services, if the Member's Health Benefit Plan has out-of-network benefits without authorization being required by the Plan or Provider, and no authorization has been given, then Plan will compensate Provider for Covered Services based on the Anthem Rate established for the Network and/or product that supports the Member's Health Benefit Plan. For example, if the Member's access is supported by PPO Network, compensation is based on the applicable Anthem Rate for the PPO Network. Provider shall only bill for the applicable Cost Share as well as any amount designated as the Member's responsibility on the Provider payment voucher (or other written notice of explanation of payment). In no event shall payment from Plan and the Member exceed Provider's Charge for such Covered Services.

 

MEDICARE ADVANTAGE

 

For MA Covered Services provided by or on behalf of Provider to a Medicare Advantage Member, Provider agrees to accept, as the Anthem Medicare Advantage Rate, the lesser of Eligible Charges or a Fee Schedule based on one hundred percent (100%) of the CMS Medicare fee schedules.

When determining the Anthem Medicare Advantage Rate, any reimbursement terms in this Agreement that are based, in whole or in part, on Medicare rates, pricing, fee schedules or payment methodologies published or established by CMS, shall refer to the per claim payment amounts that CMS and a Medicare beneficiary would directly pay to Provider for the same items or services under fee-for-service Medicare Part A or Part B. The Anthem Medicare Advantage Rate shall not include any bonus payment or settlement amount paid to Provider by CMS outside of the Medicare per claim payment process, unless otherwise set forth in the Medicare Advantage reimbursement terms of this Agreement. Unless Anthem notifies Provider otherwise, in the event CMS changes payment to Provider due to a CMS directive, Act of Congress, Executive Order, or Regulatory Requirement, the amount payable to Provider hereunder will automatically be changed as soon as reasonably practicable, as described herein, in the amount specified by CMS as a result of such directive or change in law, or in the absence of such specification, in the same percentage amount as payment is changed by CMS to Provider.

Health Services that are not Covered Services. However, Provider may seek payment for a Health Service that is not Medically Necessary or is experimental/investigational only if Provider obtains a written waiver that meets the following criteria:

 

a)
The waiver notifies the Member that the Health Service is likely to be deemed not Medically Necessary, or experimental/investigational;
b)
The waiver notifies the Member of the Health Service being provided and the date(s) of service;

Provider acknowledges, that pursuant to section 20-7f, it is an unfair trade practice in violation of chapter 735a for any health care provider to request payment from a subscriber or an enrollee, other than a coinsurance, copayment, deductible or other out- of-pocket expense, for covered medical or emergency services or facility fees, as defined in section 19a-508c, or surprise bills; or to report to a credit reporting agency an enrollee's failure to pay a bill for such services when a health care center has primary responsibility for payment of such services, fees or bills.

 

2.6.2.5
Provider also acknowledges, that pursuant to section 38a-477g, in the event of a health carrier or intermediary insolvency or other cessation of operations, the participating provider's obligation to deliver covered health care services to covered persons without requesting payment from a covered person other than a coinsurance, copayment, deductible or other out-of-pocket expense for such services will continue until the earlier of (i) the termination of the covered person's coverage under the network plan, including any extension of coverage provided under the contract terms or applicable state or federal law for covered persons who are in an active course of treatment, as set forth in subdivision (2) of subsection (g) of section 38a-472f, or are totally disabled, or (ii) the date the contract between the health carrier and the participating provider would have terminated if the health carrier or intermediary had remained in operation, including any extension of coverage required under applicable state or federal law for covered persons who are in an active course of treatment or are totally disabled.

 

2.8
Use of Subcontractors. Subject to the terms and conditions of section 9.2 of this Agreement, Provider and Plan may fulfill some of their duties under this Agreement through subcontractors. For purposes of this provision, subcontractors shall include, but are not limited to, vendors and non-Participating Providers that provide supplies, equipment, staffing, and other services to Members at the request of, under the supervision of, and/or at the place of business of Provider.

ARTICLE III
CONFIDENTIALITY/RECORDS

3.1 Proprietary and Confidential Information. Except as otherwise provided herein, all information and material provided by either party in contemplation of or in connection with this Agreement remains proprietary and confidential to the disclosing party. This Agreement, including but not limited to the Anthem Rates, is Anthem's proprietary and confidential information.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may disclose such information to its legal advisors, lenders and business advisors, provided that such legal advisors, lenders and business advisors agree to maintain confidentiality of such information. Provider and Anthem shall each have a system in place that meets all applicable Regulatory Requirements to protect all records and all other documents relating to this Agreement which are deemed confidential by law. Any disclosure or transfer of proprietary or confidential information by Provider or Anthem will be in accordance with applicable Regulatory Requirements.

Plan shall not refuse to allow or to continue the participation of any otherwise eligible provider, or refuse to compensate Provider in connection with services rendered, solely because Provider has in good faith communicated with one or more of his/her/its current, former or prospective patients regarding the provisions, terms or requirements of a Health Benefit Plan as they relate to the health needs of such patient. In addition, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to create any financial incentive for Provider to withhold Covered Services.

Except for Emergency Services, if the Member's Health Benefit Plan has out-of-network benefits without authorization being required by the Plan or Provider, and no authorization has been given, then Plan will compensate Provider for Covered Services based on the Anthem Rate established for the Network and/or product that supports the Member's Health Benefit Plan.

Provider shall only bill for the applicable Cost Share as well as any amount designated as the Member's responsibility on the Provider payment voucher (or other written notice of explanation of payment).

PLAN COMPENSATION SCHEDULE ("PCS")

 

I. DEFINITIONS

 

"Emergency Condition" is defined as a condition of recent onset and sufficient severity, including but not limited to, severe pain, that would lead a prudent layperson possessing average knowledge of medicine and health, to believe that his or her condition, sickness or injury is of such a nature that failure to obtain immediate medical care could result in: (1) placing the Member's health in serious jeopardy; (2) serious impairment to bodily functions; (3) serious dysfunction to any bodily organ or part; or (4) other serious medical consequences.

 

"Emergency Services" means those Covered Services provided to Members to treat an Emergency Condition only.

 

III.
PROVIDER TYPE

 

Specialty Physician Group Obligations. Provider is authorized pursuant to this Agreement to participate in Networks as a Specialty Physician. Provider is authorized to provide only those Covered Services which are customarily rendered by physician specialists who are board certified or board eligible in the medical specialty area(s) for which Provider has been approved by Plan. Provider agrees to provide Covered Services to Members in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and all attachments and appendices hereto.

 

Provider understands and agrees that Plan may require Members to select a Primary Care Physician ("PCP") at the time of enrollment in a Health Benefit Plan. Provider further agrees to provide Covered Services to those Members when referred to him/her by a PCP, or as otherwise permitted by this Agreement. Provider shall render Covered Services to Members as permitted by Provider's patient load and appointment calendar and shall accept Members as new patients as long as Provider is accepting non-Members as new patients.

 

Provider shall ensure that services provided are made available and accessible to Members promptly and in a manner that assures continuity of care (including coordinating overall health care and exchanging health records) and agrees to forward all clinical information in a timely manner to other Participating Providers engaged in treatment of Members. Provider agrees to provide Covered Services only when Medically Necessary, and only in such settings as is appropriate in the context of good patient care; this means that the Provider agrees to render such Covered Services in the most cost effective manner in the least costly setting required for the appropriate treatment of the condition for which treatment is required in the provision of safe quality care.

 

Provider shall make necessary and appropriate arrangements with other Specialty Physicians to assure the availability of Covered Services on a twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week basis, including arrangements to assure coverage of a Member referred by a PCP after hours or when Provider is otherwise absent. For Covered Services rendered by any covering Specialty Physician on behalf of Provider, it shall be Provider's sole responsibility to make suitable arrangements with the covering Specialty Physician regarding the manner in which said provider will be reimbursed or otherwise compensated; provided, however, that Provider shall ensure that the covering provider will not, under any circumstances, bill a Member or Plan for Covered Services rendered by a Specialty Physician who is covering on behalf of Provider. If Provider or a Specialty Physician providing alternative coverage cannot be reached within a reasonable period of time, then Plan is automatically authorized to make any necessary arrangements for a Member's medical care.

 

Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by [**], has been omitted because American Well Corporation has determined that the information (i) is not material and (ii) is the type that American Well Corporation customarily and actually treats as private or confidential.

Provider agrees that he/she shall maintain in good standing: (1) a nonrestricted license to practice medicine in Georgia; and (2) a current Drug Enforcement Administration ("DEA") Certificate valid in the State of Georgia.

Provider warrants that he/she does now and shall at all times during the term of this Agreement, comply with all applicable Regulatory Requirements relating to the ownership and operation of Provider's practice and related services and entities.

 

Provider shall cooperate with Plan in developing and implementing innovative methods for delivering services that promote cost effectiveness, quality care and superior customer service, as set forth in provider manual(s) and Policies.

Provider agrees that Plan retains the right to change, revise, modify or alter the form and content of any Health Benefit Plan without prior notice to or approval by Provider.

Provider agrees to provide at no cost to Anthem, Plan or the Member, all information necessary for Plan or Anthem to determine its payment liability. Once Anthem determines Plan has any payment liability, all Complete/Clean Claims will be paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of a Member's Health Benefit Plan and Agreement.

 

MEDICARE ADVANTAGE

 

For MA Covered Services provided by or on behalf of Provider to a Medicare Advantage Member, Provider agrees to accept, as the Anthem Medicare Advantage Rate, the lesser of Eligible Charges or a Fee Schedule based on of the CMS Medicare fee schedules.

 

When determining the Anthem Medicare Advantage Rate, any reimbursement terms in this Agreement that are based, in whole or in part, on Medicare rates, pricing, fee schedules or payment methodologies published or established by CMS, shall refer to the per claim payment amounts that CMS and a Medicare beneficiary would directly pay to Provider for the same items or services under fee-for-service Medicare Part A or Part B. The Anthem Medicare Advantage Rate shall not include any bonus payment or settlement amount paid to Provider by CMS outside of the Medicare per claim payment process, unless otherwise set forth in the Medicare Advantage reimbursement terms of this Agreement. Unless Anthem notifies Provider otherwise, in the event CMS changes payment to Provider due to a CMS directive, Act of Congress, Executive Order, or Regulatory Requirement, the amount payable to Provider hereunder will automatically be changed as soon as reasonably practicable, as described herein, in the amount specified by CMS as a result of such directive or change in law, or in the absence of such specification, in the same percentage amount as payment is changed by CMS to Provider.

ARTICLE VII

DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION

 

7.2
Arbitration. Any dispute within the scope of subsection 7.1.1 that remains unresolved at the conclusion of the applicable process outlined in subsection 7.1.1 shall be resolved by binding confidential arbitration in the manner as set forth below. Except to the extent as set forth below, the arbitration shall be conducted pursuant to the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, provided, however, that the parties may agree in writing to further modify the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. The parties agree to be bound by the findings of the arbitrator(s) with respect to such dispute, subject to the right of the parties to appeal such findings as set forth herein. No arbitration demand shall be filed until after the parties have completed the dispute resolution efforts described in section 7.1 above. If the dispute resolution efforts described in section 7.1 cannot be completed within the deadlines specified for such efforts despite the parties' good faith efforts to meet such deadlines, such deadlines may be extended as necessary upon mutual agreement of the parties. Enforcement of this arbitration clause, including the waiver of class actions, shall be determined under the Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA"), including the FAA's preemptive effect on state law. The parties agree that the arbitration shall be conducted on a confidential basis pursuant to Rule 26 of the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. Subject to any disclosures that may be required or requested under Regulatory Requirements, the parties further agree that they shall maintain the confidential nature of the arbitration, including without limitation, the existence of the arbitration, information exchanged during the arbitration, and the award of the arbitrator(s).

The arbitration hearing shall be held in the city and state in which the Anthem office identified in the address block on the signature page of this Agreement is located, except that if there is no address block on the signature page, then the arbitration hearing shall be held in the city and state in which the Anthem entity that is a party to this Agreement has its principal place of business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, both parties can agree in writing to hold the arbitration hearing in some other location.

7.2.2
Selection and Replacement of Arbitrator(s). If the total amount in dispute is less than four million dollars ($4,000,000), exclusive of interest, costs, and attorneys' fees, the dispute shall be decided by a single arbitrator selected, and replaced when required, in the manner described in the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. If the total amount in dispute is four million dollars ($4,000,000) or more, exclusive of interest, costs, and attorneys' fees, the dispute shall be decided by an arbitration panel consisting of three (3) arbitrators, unless the parties agree in writing that the dispute shall be decided by a single arbitrator.

If the total amount of the arbitration award is five million dollars ($5,000,000) or more, inclusive of interest, costs, and attorneys' fees, or if the arbitrator(s) issues an injunction against a party, the parties shall have the right to appeal the decision of the arbitrator(s) pursuant to the JAMS Optional Arbitration Appeal Procedure. A decision that has been appealed shall not be enforceable while the appeal is pending. In reviewing a decision of the arbitrator(s), the appeal panel shall apply the same standard of review that a United States Court of Appeals would apply in reviewing a similar decision issued by a United States District Court in the jurisdiction in which the arbitration hearing was held.

 

 

7.2.4
Waiver of Certain Claims. The parties, on behalf of themselves and those that they may now or hereafter represent, each agree to and do hereby waive any right to join or consolidate claims in arbitration by or against other individuals or entities or to pursue, on a class basis, any dispute; provided however, if there is a dispute regarding the applicability or enforcement of the waiver provision in this subsection 7.2.4, that dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that such waiver is unenforceable for any reason with respect to a particular dispute, then the parties agree that section 7.2 shall not apply to such dispute and that such dispute shall be decided instead in a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

7.2.5
Limitations on Injunctive Relief. The parties, on behalf of themselves and those that they may now or hereafter represent, each agree that any injunctive relief sought against the other party shall be limited to the conduct relevant to the parties to the arbitration and shall not be sought for the benefit of individuals or entities who are not parties to the arbitration. The arbitrator(s) are not authorized to issue injunctive relief for the benefit of an individual or entity who is not a party to the arbitration. The arbitrator shall be limited to issuing injunctive relief related to the specific issues in the arbitration.

Anthem shall use commercially reasonable efforts to update all applicable Coded Service Identifiers within sixty (60) days of release by CMS or other applicable authority. When billing codes are updated, Provider is required to use appropriate replacement codes for Claims for Covered Services, regardless of whether this Agreement has been amended to reflect changes to standard billing codes.

In addition, Claims with codes which have been deleted will be rejected or denied.

 

Reimbursement for Subcontractors. If Anthem has a direct contract with the subcontractor, the direct contract shall prevail over this Agreement and the subcontractor shall bill Anthem under the direct contract for any subcontracted services, with the exception of nursing services provided for Home Infusion Therapy, or unless otherwise agreed to by the parties. The subcontracted entity shall bill Anthem directly under the subcontracted entity's Anthem agreement for the subcontracted services. Provider shall not bill Anthem for such subcontracted entity's services. Provider acknowledges and agrees that the reimbursement Anthem has agreed to pay the subcontracted entity as set forth in the subcontracted entity's agreement shall represent payment in full for such subcontracted entity's services.

 

III.
PROVIDER TYPE

 

Specialty Physician Group Obligations. Provider is designated as a Specialty Care Provider ("SCP" or "Specialty Care Provider") for those Network(s) designated on the Provider Networks Attachment of the Agreement.

 

Except in case of an Emergency, or as otherwise set forth in the Member's Health Benefit Plan, or required by Regulatory Requirements, prior to treating a Member, Specialty Care Provider agrees to obtain a referral, in accordance with Member's Health Benefit Plan, from a Primary Care Provider ("PCP") who is primarily responsible for providing or authorizing the professional services as set forth in the Health Benefit Plan.

 

A Provider who is a Primary Care Provider, or a gynecologist or obstetrician, shall provide Health Services or make arrangements for the provision of Health Services to Members on a twenty-four (24) hour per day, seven

(7) day a week basis to assure availability, adequacy, and continuity of care to Members.

If Provider is unable to provide Health Services as described in the previous sentence, Provider will arrange for another Network Provider to cover Provider's patients in Provider's absence.

 

To the extent required by Regulatory Requirements or an accrediting body, upon termination without cause, Provider will provide timely, sixty (60) day, notice to affected Member(s) of termination of this Agreement or termination of individual Network participation.

IV.
SPECIFIC REIMBURSEMENT TERMS COMMERCIAL BUSINESS

Allowances for Injectable/Infusible/Oral Drugs, Vaccines and Radiopharmaceutical Agents. Plan shall automatically update its allowance for injectable/infusible/oral drugs, vaccines and radiopharmaceutical agents on a quarterly basis in accordance with the quarterly updates made by CMS to its drug pricing file or any other external or internal source as set forth in this PCS. Retroactive adjustments made by CMS to its drug pricing file shall be inapplicable to Anthem's fee allowances and payment responsibility.

 

Out-of-Network Compensation. Except for Government Programs, if Provider renders services to a Member who accesses a Network in which Provider does not participate, Provider will receive compensation as follows:

 

Plan shall compensate Provider for Emergency Services rendered to a Member based on the applicable Indemnity/Traditional/Standard Anthem Rate. Provider agrees to accept the Indemnity/Traditional/Standard Anthem Rate as payment in full and shall only bill for the applicable Cost Share.

 

Except for Emergency Services, if the Member's Health Benefit Plan requires authorization by the Plan or a Provider for out of Network Covered Services in order for the Member to have the highest level of benefits, and such authorization has been given, then Plan shall compensate Provider for such authorized Covered Services based on the applicable Participating Provider ("Indemnity/Traditional/Standard") Anthem Rate. Provider agrees to accept the Indemnity/Traditional/Standard Anthem Rate as payment in full and shall only bill for the applicable Cost Share. Except for Emergency Services, if the Member's Health Benefit Plan does not have out-of-network benefits unless authorized by the Plan or Provider, Plan shall have no liability for Health Services rendered without such authorization. In that event, Provider shall bill the Member for Health Services rendered.

 

Except for Emergency Services, if the Member's Health Benefit Plan has out-of-network benefits without authorization being required by the Plan or Provider, and no authorization has been given, then Plan will compensate Provider for Covered Services based on the Anthem Rate established for the Network and/or product that supports the Member's Health Benefit Plan. For example, if the Member's access is supported by PPO Network, compensation is based on the applicable Anthem Rate for the PPO Network. Provider shall only bill for the applicable Cost Share as well as any amount designated as the Member's responsibility on the Provider payment voucher (or other written notice of explanation of payment). In no event shall payment from Plan and the Member exceed Provider's Charge for such Covered Services.

 

MEDICARE ADVANTAGE

 

Provider shall be compensated at one hundred percent (100%) of the current Anthem Medicare Advantage Rate in effect at the time the Medicare Advantage Covered Service is rendered. The Anthem Medicare Advantage Rates may be amended from time to time as to apply changes in rates or methodology.

 

When determining the Anthem Medicare Advantage Rate, any reimbursement terms in this Agreement that are based, in whole or in part, on Medicare rates, pricing, fee schedules or payment methodologies published or established by CMS, shall refer to the per claim payment amounts that CMS and a Medicare beneficiary would directly pay to Provider for the same items or services under fee-for-service Medicare Part A or Part B. The Anthem Medicare Advantage Rate shall not include any bonus payment or settlement amount paid to Provider by CMS outside of the Medicare per claim payment process, unless otherwise set forth in the Medicare Advantage reimbursement terms of this Agreement. Unless Anthem notifies Provider otherwise, in the event CMS changes payment to Provider due to a CMS directive, Act of Congress, Executive Order, or Regulatory Requirement, the amount payable to Provider hereunder will automatically be changed as soon as reasonably practicable, as described herein, in the amount specified by CMS as a result of such directive

INDIANA MEDICAID PROGRAM(S)

 

Healthy Indiana Plan (HIP):

Payment for Medicaid Covered Services submitted with the Coded Service Identifier(s) set forth in the attached Government Program(s) PCS Attachment, will be reimbursed based on the Anthem Rate corresponding to the Coded Service Identifier(s).

STATE SPECIFIC PROVISIONS ATTACHMENT TO THE

ANTHEM BLUE CROSS AND BLUE SHIELD PROVIDER AGREEMENT

 

KY STATE SPECIFIC PROVISIONS

 

This is a Participation Attachment to the Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield Provider Agreement ("Agreement"), entered into by and between Anthem and Provider and is incorporated into the Agreement.

 

The provisions in this State Specific Provisions Attachment shall replace the similarly-titled provisions in the Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there may be other provisions in this State Specific Provisions Attachment that are not set forth in the Agreement, but which shall apply for this state. If there is a conflict between the terms of this State Specific Provisions Attachment and the terms of the Agreement (outside of this State Specific Provisions Attachment), the terms of this State Specific Provisions Attachment shall govern.

 

The following provisions are required terms and conditions for certain fully insured Health Benefit Plans that are issued in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

 

ARTICLE II

SERVICES/OBLIGATIONS

 

2.5 Submission and Adjudication of Claims. Provider shall submit, and Plan shall adjudicate, Claims in accordance with the applicable Participation Attachment(s), the PCS, the provider manual(s) and Regulatory Requirements. If Provider submits Claims prior to receiving notice of Anthem's approval pursuant to section 2.13, and/or approval of any requested change of status pursuant to section 9.3, then such Claims shall be processed as out of network and Anthem shall not make retroactive adjustments with respect to such Claims.

 

2.7
Recoupment/Offset/Adjustment for Overpayments. Anthem shall be entitled to offset and recoup an amount equal to any overpayments or improper payments made by Anthem to Provider against any payments due and payable by Anthem to Provider with respect to any Health Benefit Plan under this Agreement. Provider shall voluntarily refund all duplicate or erroneous Claim payments regardless of the cause, with or without request from Plan, including, but not limited to, payments for Claims where the Claim was miscoded, non- compliant with industry standards, or otherwise billed in error, whether or not the billing error was fraudulent, abusive or wasteful. Upon determination by Anthem that any recoupment, improper payment, or overpayment is due from Provider, and Provider has not already voluntarily refunded the amount, Provider must refund the amount to Anthem within thirty (30) days of when Anthem notifies Provider. If such reimbursement is not received by Anthem within the thirty (30) days following the date of such notice, then Plan may offset future Claim payments in accordance with and within the time frames established by KRS 304.17A-714, or other applicable Regulatory Requirements. For Claims that are not subject to KRS 304.17A-714 or other applicable Regulatory Requirements, Plan may offset future Claim payments in lieu of a refund, except to the extent as may be set forth in a Participation Attachment(s). In such event, Provider agrees that all future Claim payments applied to satisfy Provider's repayment obligation shall be deemed to have been paid in full for all purposes, including section 2.6.1. Should Provider disagree with any determination by Plan that Provider has received an overpayment, Provider shall have the right to appeal such determination under Anthem's procedures set forth in the provider manual, and such appeal shall not suspend Anthem's right to recoup the overpayment amount during the appeal process. Anthem reserves the right to employ a third party collection agency in the event of non-payment.

 

2.8
Use of Subcontractors. Provider and Plan may fulfill some of their duties under this Agreement through subcontractors. For purposes of this provision, subcontractors shall include, but are not limited to, vendors and non-Participating Providers that provide supplies, equipment, staffing, and other services to Members

Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by [**], has been omitted because American Well Corporation has determined that the information (i) is not material and (ii) is the type that American Well Corporation customarily and actually treats as private or confidential.

The terms and conditions of Provider's participation as a Participating Provider in such additional Networks, products and/or programs shall be on the terms and conditions as set forth in this Agreement unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Provider and Anthem.

 

In addition to and separate from Networks that support some or all of Plan's products and/or programs (e.g., HMO, PPO and Indemnity products), Provider further acknowledges that certain Health Services, including by way of example only, laboratory or behavioral health services, may be provided exclusively by designated Participating Providers (a "Health Services Designated Network"), as determined by Plan. Provider agrees to refer Members to such designated Participating Providers in a Health Services Designated Network for the provision of certain Health Services, even if Provider performs such services. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, if Provider provides a Health Service to a Member for which Provider is not a designated Participating Provider in a Health Services Designated Network, then Provider agrees that he/she/it shall not be reimbursed for such services by Anthem, Plan or the Member, unless Provider was authorized to provide such Health Service by Plan.

 

2.14 Adjustment Requests. If Provider believes a Claim has been improperly adjudicated for Covered Service for which Provider timely submitted a Clean Claim to Plan, Provider must submit a request for an adjustment to Plan per the requirements set forth in the provider manual(s) or applicable Participation Attachment(s). Adjustment requests submitted that do not comply with such requirements may be denied for payment, and Provider shall not be permitted to bill Anthem, Plan, or the Member for those Covered Services for which payment was denied.

 

2.18 Request for Fees. Upon request by Provider, Plan shall provide Provider with the payment or fee schedules or other information sufficient to enable Provider to determine the amount and manner of payments under the Agreement for Provider's services. This does not prohibit Plan from making any part of the information requested available electronically or via a web site.

Except in case of an Emergency, or as otherwise set forth in the Member's Health Benefit Plan, or required by Regulatory Requirements, prior to treating a Member, Specialty Care Provider agrees to obtain a referral, in accordance with Member's Health Benefit Plan, from a Primary Care Provider ("PCP") who is primarily responsible for providing or authorizing the professional services as set forth in the Health Benefit Plan.

(7) day a week basis to assure availability, adequacy, and continuity of care to Members.

If Provider is unable to provide Health Services as described in the previous sentence, Provider will arrange for another Network Provider to cover Provider's patients in Provider's absence.

 

To the extent required by Regulatory Requirements or an accrediting body, upon termination without cause, Provider will provide timely, sixty (60) day, notice to affected Member(s) of termination of this Agreement or termination of individual Network participation.

not have out-of-network benefits unless authorized by the Plan or Provider, Plan shall have no liability for services rendered without such authorization. In that event, Provider shall bill the Member for Health Services rendered.

 

Except for Emergency Services, if the Member's Health Benefit Plan has out-of-network benefits without authorization being required by the Plan or Provider, and no authorization has been given, then Plan will compensate Provider for Covered Services based on the Anthem Rate established for the Network and/or product that supports the Member's Health Benefit Plan. For example, if the Member's access is supported by PPO Network, compensation is based on the applicable Anthem Rate for the PPO Network. Provider shall only bill for the applicable Cost Share as well as any amount designated as the Member's responsibility on the provider payment voucher (or other written notice of explanation of payment). In no event shall payment from Plan and the Member exceed Provider's Charge for such Covered Services.

 

MEDICARE ADVANTAGE

 

Provider shall be compensated at the current Anthem Medicare Advantage Rate in effect at the time the Medicare Advantage Covered Service is rendered. The Anthem Medicare Advantage Rates may be amended from time to time as to apply changes in rates or methodology. Anthem shall provide a copy of the Anthem Medicare Advantage Rate upon request from Provider.

When determining the Anthem Medicare Advantage Rate, any reimbursement terms in this Agreement that are based, in whole or in part, on Medicare rates, pricing, fee schedules or payment methodologies published or established by CMS, shall refer to the per claim payment amounts that CMS and a Medicare beneficiary would directly pay to Provider for the same items or services under fee-for-service Medicare Part A or Part B. The Anthem Medicare Advantage Rate shall not include any bonus payment or settlement amount paid to Provider by CMS outside of the Medicare per claim payment process, unless otherwise set forth in the Medicare Advantage reimbursement terms of this Agreement. Unless Anthem notifies Provider otherwise, in the event CMS changes payment to Provider due to a CMS directive, Act of Congress, Executive Order, or Regulatory Requirement, the amount payable to Provider hereunder will automatically be changed as soon as reasonably practicable, as described herein, in the amount specified by CMS as a result of such directive or change in law, or in the absence of such specification, in the same percentage amount as payment is changed by CMS to Provider.

 

KENTUCKY WORKERS' COMPENSATION

 

For Medically Necessary Compensable Medical Care provided to Injured Worker(s), Provider agrees to accept the lesser of (i) the Anthem Blue Access Plan Fee Schedule Rate, (ii) Bill Review Allowed or (iii) Provider's Eligible Charges.

2.1.2 Provider agrees to participate in Company's Pathway/Pathway X Network, which will support Company's Individual Business, both with respect to products or programs offered by Company on state-based, regional or federal health insurance exchanges ("Exchanges") established by Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act ("PPACA"), and with respect to products or programs offered by Company outside of Exchanges. Provider acknowledges and understands that the Pathway/Pathway X Network and certain products or programs it supports are subject to Regulatory Requirements; and Provider agrees to abide by all applicable rules, regulations and other requirements of the Exchanges as they exist and as they may be amended or changed from time to time. For purposes of this subsection 2.1.2, Individual Business means certain Health Benefit Plans sold by Company directly to Commercial Business Members and not through an employer group, as determined by Company. Individual Business does not include Commercial Business Members covered under The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act ("COBRA"), Company's Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement or short-term medical products, or Company's Federal Employee Program. "Grandfathered" Health Benefit Plans, as defined by PPACA, do not constitute Individual Business.

 

2.3
Submission and Adjudication of Commercial Business Claims. Unless otherwise instructed, or required by Regulatory Requirements, Provider shall submit Claims to Plan, using appropriate and current Coded Service Identifier(s), within ninety (90) days from the date the Health Services are rendered or Plan will refuse payment. If Plan is the secondary payor, the ninety (90) day period will not begin until Provider receives notification of primary payor's responsibility.

 

2.3.1
Provider agrees to provide to Company, unless otherwise instructed, at no cost to Company, Plan or the Commercial Business Member, all information necessary for Plan to determine its payment liability. Such information includes, without limitation, accurate and Complete Claims for Commercial Business Covered Services. Once Company determines Plan has any payment liability, all Complete Claims will be paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of a Commercial Business Member's Health Benefit Plan, the PCS, and the provider manual(s).

 

2.3.2
Provider agrees to submit Claims and applicable attachments to the Claims in an electronic format consistent with industry standards and as set forth in the provider manual(s), unless otherwise mandated by applicable Regulatory Requirements.

 

2.3.3
If Company or Plan asks for additional information so that Plan may process the Claim, Provider must provide that information within sixty (60) days, or before the expiration of the ninety (90) day period referenced in section 2.3 above, whichever is longer.

 

2.3.4
In no event, shall Provider bill, collect, or attempt to collect payment from the Commercial Business Member for Claims Plan receives after the applicable period(s) as set forth in section 2.3 above, regardless of whether Plan pays such Claims.

Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by [**], has been omitted because American Well Corporation has determined that the information (i) is not material and (ii) is the type that American Well Corporation customarily and actually treats as private or confidential.

2.9
Network Access. Unless otherwise provided in the Health Benefit Plan or expressly permitted by Regulatory Requirements, neither party shall act in a manner that restricts Commercial Business Members access to an entire network.

ARTICLE III TERMINATION

 

3.1
Non-Renewal - Commercial Business Attachment and/or Network(s). At any time after the Initial Term, either party may determine not to renew Provider's participation in one or more Commercial Network(s) designated on the Provider Networks Attachment, or this Attachment, by giving the other party written notice of non- renewal not less than ninety (90) days prior to the renewal date.

 

3.2
Termination-Commercial Business Attachment and/or Network(s). At any time after the Initial Term, either party may terminate, upon notice, Provider's participation in one or more Commercial Network(s) designated on the Provider Networks Attachment, or this Attachment by giving at least ninety (90) days prior written notice of termination to the other party. Following any termination as described herein, the remainder of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, if applicable. When expressly required by Regulatory Requirements, Company will include an explanation for the reasons for the proposed termination of this Attachment in any notice of termination given by Company; and if timely requested by Provider, Company will provide Provider with an opportunity for review or hearing as required by Regulatory Requirements, not less than thirty (30) days from the date of notification and in accordance with Company's applicable procedures. This provision shall not apply to Provider's participation in Company's Traditional products.

(ii) the date on which the Commercial Business Member is discharged from an inpatient facility, or (iii) the expiration of such other period as may be required by Regulatory Requirements applicable to Company, a Plan, the Health Benefit Plan or the Commercial Business Member, whichever is greater. This provision will be construed in favor of a Commercial Business Member and supersedes any oral or written contrary agreement between Provider and a Commercial Business Member or the representative of a Commercial Business Member if the contrary agreement is inconsistent with this provision and the provisions of the Agreement regarding the continuation of care after termination. This provision shall survive termination of this Attachment.

Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by [**], has been omitted because American Well Corporation has determined that the information (i) is not material and (ii) is the type that American Well Corporation customarily and actually treats as private or confidential.

"Emergency Services" means those Covered Services furnished or required to evaluate and treat an Emergency Condition, which may include, but shall not be limited to, Covered Services that are provided in a licensed hospital's emergency facility by an appropriate provider.

 

III.
PROVIDER TYPE

 

Specialty Physician Group Obligations. Provider is designated as a Specialty Care Provider ("SCP" or "Specialty Care Provider") for those Network(s) designated on the signature page of the Agreement.

 

Except in case of an Emergency, or as otherwise set forth in the Member's Health Benefit Plan, or required by statute or regulation, prior to treating a Member, Specialty Care Provider agrees to obtain a referral, in accordance with Member's Health Benefit Plan, from a Primary Care Provider ("PCP") who is primarily responsible for providing or authorizing the professional services as set forth in the Health Benefit Plan.

 

A Provider who is a Specialty Care Provider, such as a gynecologist or obstetrician shall provide Health Services to Members on a twenty-four (24) hour per day, seven (7) day a week basis or at such times as Health Services are typically provided by similar providers to assure availability, adequacy, and continuity of care to Members.

If a Member is required to obtain Covered Services through a Participating Provider or a provider participating in a separate provider network to receive the highest level of benefits, and Provider is not a Participating Provider or a provider participating in the separate provider network, but Provider participates in a Network for an equivalent Company product issued in the state compared to the Member's product, Provider shall accept the applicable Company Rate for the equivalent Network in which the Provider participates. For example, if a Provider participates in the Blue Access Program and has a Plan Compensation Schedule for the Blue Access Program, but the Provider does not participate in the Blue Access Choice Program as a Participating Provider and there is no specific Plan Compensation Schedule for the Blue Access Choice Program attached to the Agreement, the Plan Compensation Schedule for the Blue Access Program shall be used to determine the "Allowed Amount" for Covered Services provided by the Provider to Members in the Blue Access Choice Program. Provider shall bill, collect and accept reimbursement for services from Members for Cost Shares. If Provider's participation is limited to an indemnity product that does not include incentives for the Member to use a Participating Provider ("Traditional Network"), or Provider does not participate in a Network for an equivalent Company product issued in the state compared to the Member's product, Provider shall accept the Company Rate for the Traditional Network as set forth on the Fee Schedule. Provider shall bill, collect and accept reimbursement for Cost Shares.

 

 

Request for Representative Fee Schedule. Upon Provider's written request, Company will provide Provider with a representative sample of the fees then in effect under a Fee Schedule applicable to a particular Network.

MEDICARE ADVANTAGE

 

For Covered Services provided by or on behalf of Provider to a Medicare Advantage Member, Provider agrees to accept the lesser of Provider Charges or a Fee Schedule based on of the CMS Medicare fee schedules.

 

When determining the Company Medicare Advantage Rate, any reimbursement terms in this Agreement that are based, in whole or in part, on Medicare rates, pricing, fee schedules or payment methodologies published or established by CMS, shall refer to the per claim payment amounts that CMS and a Medicare beneficiary would directly pay to Provider for the same items or services under fee-for-service Medicare Part A or Part B. The Company Medicare Advantage Rate shall not include any bonus payment or settlement amount paid to Provider by CMS outside of the Medicare per claim payment process, unless otherwise set forth in the Medicare Advantage reimbursement terms of this Agreement. Unless Company notifies Provider otherwise, in the event CMS changes payment to Provider due to a CMS directive, Act of Congress, Executive Order, or Regulatory Requirement, the amount payable to Provider hereunder will automatically be changed as soon as reasonably practicable, as described herein, in the amount specified by CMS as a result of such directive or change in law, or in the absence of such specification, in the same percentage amount as payment is changed by CMS to Provider.

IV.
SPECIFIC REIMBURSEMENT TERMS COMMERCIAL BUSINESS

Allowances for Injectable/Infusible/Oral Drugs, Vaccines and Radiopharmaceutical Agents. Plan shall automatically update its allowance for injectable/infusible/oral drugs, vaccines and radiopharmaceutical agents on a quarterly basis in accordance with the quarterly updates made by CMS to its drug pricing file or any other external or internal source as set forth in this PCS. Retroactive adjustments made by CMS to its drug pricing file shall be inapplicable to Anthem's fee allowances and payment responsibility.

 

Out-of-Network Compensation. Except for Government Programs, if Provider renders services to a Member who accesses a Network in which Provider does not participate, Provider will receive compensation as follows:

 

Plan shall compensate Provider for Emergency Services rendered to a Member based on the applicable Indemnity/Traditional/Standard Anthem Rate. Provider agrees to accept the Indemnity/Traditional/Standard Anthem Rate as payment in full and shall only bill for the applicable Cost Share.

 

Except for Emergency Services, if the Member's Health Benefit Plan requires authorization by the Plan or a Provider for out of Network Covered Services in order for the Member to have the highest level of benefits, and such authorization has been given, then Plan shall compensate Provider for such authorized Covered Services based on the applicable Participating Provider ("Indemnity/Traditional/Standard") Anthem Rate. Provider agrees to accept the Indemnity/Traditional/Standard Anthem Rate as payment in full and shall only bill for the applicable Cost Share. Except for Emergency Services, if the Member's Health Benefit Plan does not have out-of-network benefits unless authorized by the Plan or Provider, Plan shall have no liability for Health Services rendered without such authorization. In that event, Provider shall bill the Member for Health Services rendered.

 

Except for Emergency Services, if the Member's Health Benefit Plan has out-of-network benefits without authorization being required by the Plan or Provider, and no authorization has been given, then Plan will compensate Provider for Covered Services based on the Anthem Rate established for the Network and/or product that supports the Member's Health Benefit Plan. For example, if the Member's access is supported by PPO Network, compensation is based on the applicable Anthem Rate for the PPO Network. Provider shall only bill for the applicable Cost Share as well as any amount designated as the Member's responsibility on the Provider payment voucher (or other written notice of explanation of payment). In no event shall payment from Plan and the Member exceed Provider's Charge for such Covered Services.

MEDICARE ADVANTAGE

 

For MA Covered Services provided by or on behalf of Provider to a Medicare Advantage Member, Provider agrees to accept, as the Anthem Medicare Advantage Rate, the lesser of Eligible Charges or a Fee Schedule based on one hundred percent (100%) of the CMS Medicare fee schedules.

 

When determining the Anthem Medicare Advantage Rate, any reimbursement terms in this Agreement that are based, in whole or in part, on Medicare rates, pricing, fee schedules or payment methodologies published or established by CMS, shall refer to the per claim payment amounts that CMS and a Medicare beneficiary would directly pay to Provider for the same items or services under fee-for-service Medicare Part A or Part B. The Anthem Medicare Advantage Rate shall not include any bonus payment or settlement amount paid to Provider by CMS outside of the Medicare per claim payment process, unless otherwise set forth in the Medicare Advantage reimbursement terms of this Agreement. Unless Anthem notifies Provider otherwise, in the event CMS changes payment to Provider due to a CMS directive, Act of Congress, Executive Order, or Regulatory Requirement, the amount payable to Provider hereunder will automatically be changed as soon as reasonably practicable, as described herein, in the amount specified by CMS as a result of such directive or change in law, or in the absence of such specification, in the same percentage amount as payment is changed by CMS to Provider.

IV.
SPECIFIC REIMBURSEMENT TERMS COMMERCIAL BUSINESS

Allowances for Injectable/Infusible/Oral Drugs, Vaccines and Radiopharmaceutical Agents. Plan shall automatically update its allowance for injectable/infusible/oral drugs, vaccines and radiopharmaceutical agents on a quarterly basis in accordance with the quarterly updates made by CMS to its drug pricing file or any other external or internal source as set forth in this PCS. Retroactive adjustments made by CMS to its drug pricing file shall be inapplicable to Anthem's fee allowances and payment responsibility.

 

Out-of-Network Compensation. Except for Government Programs, if Provider renders services to a Member who accesses a Network in which Provider does not participate, Provider will receive compensation as follows:

 

Plan shall compensate Provider for Emergency Services rendered to a Member based on the applicable Anthem out-of-network maximum benefit allowance compensation rate, but based on the Member's Health Benefit Plan, Plan may have no liability for services rendered. In no event shall payment from Plan and the Member exceed Provider's Charge for such Covered Services.

 

Except for Emergency Services, if the Member's Health Benefit Plan requires authorization by the Plan or a Provider for out of Network Covered Services in order for the Member to have the highest level of benefits, and such authorization has been given, then Plan shall compensate Provider for such authorized Covered Services based on the applicable Participating Provider ("Indemnity/Traditional/Standard") Anthem Rate. Provider agrees to accept the Indemnity/Traditional/Standard Anthem Rate as payment in full and shall only bill for the applicable Cost Share. Except for Emergency Services, if the Member's Health Benefit Plan does not have out-of-network benefits unless authorized by the Plan or Provider, Plan shall have no liability for services rendered without such authorization. In that event, Provider shall bill the Member for Health Services rendered.

 

Except for Emergency Services, if the Member's Health Benefit Plan has out-of-network benefits without authorization being required by the Plan or Provider, and no authorization has been given, then Plan will compensate Provider for Covered Services based on the Anthem out-of-network maximum benefit allowance compensation rate, but based on the Member's Health Benefit Plan, Plan may have no liability for services rendered. In no event shall payment from Plan and the Member exceed Provider's Charge for such Covered Services.

MEDICARE ADVANTAGE

 

For MA Covered Services provided by or on behalf of Provider to a Medicare Advantage Member, Provider agrees to accept, as the Anthem Medicare Advantage Rate, the lesser of Eligible Charges or a Fee Schedule based on of the CMS Medicare fee schedules.

 

When determining the Anthem Medicare Advantage Rate, any reimbursement terms in this Agreement that are based, in whole or in part, on Medicare rates, pricing, fee schedules or payment methodologies published or established by CMS, shall refer to the per claim payment amounts that CMS and a Medicare beneficiary would directly pay to Provider for the same items or services under fee-for-service Medicare Part A or Part B. The Anthem Medicare Advantage Rate shall not include any bonus payment or settlement amount paid to Provider by CMS outside of the Medicare per claim payment process, unless otherwise set forth in the Medicare Advantage reimbursement terms of this Agreement. Unless Anthem notifies Provider otherwise, in the event CMS changes payment to Provider due to a CMS directive, Act of Congress, Executive Order, or Regulatory Requirement, the amount payable to Provider hereunder will automatically be changed as soon as reasonably practicable, as described herein, in the amount specified by CMS as a result of such directive or change in law, or in the absence of such specification, in the same percentage amount as payment is changed by CMS to Provider.

The provisions in this State Specific Provisions Attachment shall replace the similarly-titled provisions in the Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there may be other provisions in this State Specific Provisions Attachment that are not set forth in the Agreement, but which shall apply for this state. If there is a conflict between the terms of this State Specific Provisions Attachment and the terms of the Agreement (outside of this State Specific Provisions Attachment), the terms of this State Specific Provisions Attachment shall govern.

 

The following provisions are required terms and conditions for certain Health Benefit Plans that are issued in the State of New York.

 

ARTICLE II

SERVICES/OBLIGATIONS

 

2.6
Payment in Full and Hold Harmless.

 

2.6.1
Provider agrees to accept as payment in full, in all circumstances, the applicable Empire Rate whether such payment is in the form of a Cost Share, a payment by Plan, or a payment by another source, such as through coordination of benefits or subrogation. Provider shall bill, collect, and accept compensation for Cost Shares. Provider agrees to make reasonable efforts to verify Cost Shares prior to billing for such Cost Shares. In no event shall Plan be obligated to pay Provider or any person acting on behalf of Provider for services that are not Covered Services, or any amounts in excess of the Empire Rate less Cost Shares or payment by another source, as set forth above. Consistent with the foregoing, Provider agrees to accept the Empire Rate as payment in full if the Member has not yet satisfied his/her deductible.

 

2.6.2
Except as expressly permitted under Regulatory Requirements, Provider agrees that in no event, including but not limited to, nonpayment by applicable Plan, insolvency of applicable Plan, breach of this Agreement, or Claim payment denials or adjustment requests or recoupments based on miscoding or other billing errors of any type, whether or not fraudulent or abusive, shall Provider, or any person acting on behalf of Provider, bill, charge, collect a deposit from, seek compensation from, or have any other recourse against a Member, or a person legally acting on the Member's behalf, for Covered Services provided pursuant to this Agreement. In the event of nonpayment and/or insolvency of a Plan that is not underwritten by Empire or an Affiliate, Provider further agrees that it shall not seek compensation from or have any other recourse against Empire or an Affiliate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Provider may collect reimbursement from the Member for the following:

a)
The waiver notifies the Member that the Health Service is likely to be deemed not Medically Necessary, experimental/investigational or not covered;

 

b)
The waiver notifies the Member of the Health Service being provided and the date(s) of service;

 

c)
The waiver notifies the Member of the approximate cost of the Health Service;

2.7
Recoupment/Offset/Adjustment for Overpayments. Empire shall be entitled to offset and recoup an amount equal to any overpayments or improper payments made by Empire to Provider against any payments due and payable by Empire to Provider with respect to any Health Benefit Plan under this Agreement. Provider shall voluntarily refund all duplicate or erroneous Claim payments regardless of the cause, including, but not limited to, payments for Claims where the Claim was miscoded, non-compliant with industry standards, or otherwise billed in error, whether or not the billing error was fraudulent, abusive or wasteful. In such event, Provider agrees that all future Claim payments applied to satisfy Provider's repayment obligation shall be deemed to have been paid in full for all purposes, including section 2.6.1. Should Provider disagree with any determination by Plan that Provider has received an overpayment, Provider shall have the right to appeal such determination under Empire's procedures set forth in the provider manual, and such appeal shall not suspend Empire's right to recoup the overpayment amount during the appeal process unless suspension of the right to recoup is otherwise required by Regulatory Requirements. Empire reserves the right to employ a third party collection agency in the event of non-payment.

 

2.8
Use of Subcontractors. Subject to the terms and conditions of section 9.2 of this Agreement, Provider and Plan may fulfill some of their duties under this Agreement through subcontractors. For purposes of this provision, subcontractors shall include, but are not limited to, vendors and non-Participating Providers that provide supplies, equipment, staffing, and other services to Members at the request of, under the supervision of, and/or at the place of business of Provider. Provider shall provide Empire with thirty (30) days prior notice of any Health Services subcontractors with which Provider may contract to perform Provider's duties and obligations under this Agreement, and Provider shall remain responsible to Plan for the compliance of his/her/its subcontractors with the terms and conditions of this Agreement as applicable, including, but not limited to, the Payment in Full and Hold Harmless provisions herein.

 

2.9
Compliance with Provider Manual(s) and Policies, Programs and Procedures.

Provider shall not be recognized as a Participating Provider in such Networks until the later of: 1) the Effective Date of this Agreement or; 2) as determined by Plan in its sole discretion, the date Provider has met Plan's applicable credentialing requirements, standards of participation and accreditation requirements. Provider acknowledges that Plan may develop, discontinue,

or modify new or existing Networks, products and/or programs. In addition to those Networks designated on the Provider Networks Attachment, Empire may also identify Provider as a Participating Provider in additional Networks, products and/or programs designated in writing from time to time by Empire. The terms and conditions of Provider's participation as a Participating Provider in such additional Networks, products and/or programs shall be on the terms and conditions as set forth in this Agreement unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Provider and Empire.

 

In addition to and separate from Networks that support some or all of Plan's products and/or programs (e.g., HMO, PPO and Indemnity products), Provider further acknowledges that certain Health Services, including by way of example only, laboratory or behavioral health services, may be provided exclusively by designated Participating Providers (a "Health Services Designated Network"), as determined by Plan. Provider agrees to refer Members to such designated Participating Providers in a Health Services Designated Network for the provision of certain Health Services, even if Provider performs such services. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, if Provider provides a Health Service to a Member for which Provider is not a designated Participating Provider in a Health Services Designated Network, then Provider agrees that he/she/it shall not be reimbursed for such services by Empire, Plan or the Member, unless Provider was authorized to provide such Health Service by Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Provider expressly acknowledges and agrees that they shall not be participating in any applicable Medicare Advantage HMO Special Needs Plan ("SNP") or Medicare Advantage HMO products or other Medicare Advantage products that are administered or managed by CareMore IPA of New York, LLC. In addition and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, this Agreement shall not apply to the products issued by HealthPlus HP, LLC d/b/a Empire BlueCross BlueShield HealthPlus unless otherwise notified by Empire.

A description of the applicable credentialing requirements, standards of participation, and accreditation requirements, are set forth in the provider manual(s) and/or in the PCS. Provider acknowledges that until such time as Provider has been determined to have fully met Plan's credentialing requirements, standards of participation, and accreditation requirements, as applicable, Provider shall not be entitled to the benefits of participation under this Agreement, including without limitation the Empire Rates set forth in the PCS attached hereto.

 

2.18 Multiple Office Sites. Provider understands and agrees that this Agreement constitutes Provider's agreement to participate in the Networks under all tax identification numbers and at all office locations, regardless of area of practice, unless Empire elects to limit participation to certain office locations or tax identification numbers. Provider is hereby prohibited from restricting participation to certain office locations or tax identification numbers when Provider maintains multiple offices or tax identification numbers. Provider shall provide thirty

(30) days advance written notice to Empire of the addition or deletion of any Provider office locations or tax identification numbers. In the event that Provider closes or no longer practices at a particular office location, Provider further agrees to provide written notice to Members who are existing patients of Provider setting forth Provider's remaining office locations where such Members may continue to access Covered Services.

 

ARTICLE VII

DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION

 

7.1 Dispute Resolution. All disputes between Empire and Provider arising out of or related in any manner to this Agreement shall be resolved using the dispute resolution and arbitration procedures as set forth below. Provider shall exhaust any other applicable provider appeal/provider dispute resolution procedures and any applicable state law exhaustion requirements imposed by Regulatory Requirements as a condition precedent to Provider's right to pursue the dispute resolution and arbitration procedures as set forth below.

The parties agree that external appeal decisions issued by an independent review organization contracted with a state Agency for medical necessity or investigational disputes are final and binding on the parties, and Provider may not pursue further dispute resolution or arbitration as further set forth in this Article VII below with respect to such disputes.

 

7.1.1 Except as otherwise specified in section 7.1 above, in order to invoke the dispute resolution procedures in this Agreement, a party first shall send to the other party a written demand letter that contains a detailed description of the dispute and all relevant underlying facts, a detailed description of the amount(s) in dispute and how they have been calculated and any other information that the Empire provider manual(s) may require Provider to submit with respect to such dispute. If the total amount in dispute as set forth in the demand letter is less than two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000), exclusive of interest, costs, and attorneys' fees, then within twenty (20) days following the date on which the receiving party receives the demand letter, representatives of each party's choosing shall meet to discuss the dispute in person or telephonically in an effort to resolve the dispute. If the total amount in dispute as set forth in the demand letter is two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000) or more, exclusive of interest, costs, and attorneys' fees, then within ninety (90) days following the date of the demand letter, the parties shall engage in non-binding mediation in an effort to resolve the dispute unless both parties agree in writing to waive the mediation requirement. The parties shall mutually agree upon a mediator, and failing to do so, Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services ("JAMS") shall be authorized to appoint a mediator.

outlined in subsection 9.3.1 and its corresponding subsections, then Provider warrants and covenants that this Agreement shall be assumed by the new locations, operations or business or corporate form, status or structure, or individual provider (herein referred to as "New Entity"?), unless the New Entity already has an agreement with Empire, in which case Empire will determine which Agreement will prevail. If the New Entity does not have a current agreement with Empire, or Empire agrees to add the New Entity to the Agreement, then the development of the appropriate Fee Schedule shall be determined in the following manner:

 

9.3.4.1
If New Entity is a result of Provider consolidation of some or all of the tax identification numbers listed on the signature page of the Agreement, then Empire shall do a weighted average of the negotiated Empire Rates of the impacted tax identification numbers, based on volume, to develop a new Fee Schedule for the New Entity to be applied prospectively to reflect the impact as of the date of consolidation. Empire shall provide the analytical detail supporting the new Fee Schedule to Provider for review. The parties shall come to agreement on the accuracy of the weighted averages prior to implementation of the new Fee Schedule.

 

9.3.4.2
If New Entity is NOT a result of Provider consolidation of some or all of the tax identification numbers listed on the signature page of this Agreement, and if Empire has a current contract with New Entity, then Empire shall do a weighted average of the rates of the New Entity and Provider, based on volume, to determine if the negative financial impact to Empire is five percent (5%) or greater. If the overall financial impact to Empire is five percent (5%) or greater, then the parties agree to modify the negotiated Empire Rates outlined in the PCS prospectively in order to neutralize the impact. If the negative financial impact is less than five percent (5%), then the New Entity shall be subject to the reimbursement as outlined in the PCS. Empire shall provide the analytical detail supporting the new Fee Schedule to Provider for review. The parties shall come to agreement on the accuracy of the weighted averages prior to implementation of the new Fee Schedule.

 

9.3.5
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Empire shall conduct an annual review to determine if any changes in this section 9.3 have resulted in a negative financial impact to Empire of five percent (5%) from the preceding calendar year, and if so, then Empire shall unilaterally adjust the Empire Rates prospectively to neutralize the negative financial impact as a result of the changes.

 

9.16 Regulatory Approval. To the extent Provider participates in Networks under this Agreement, which are subject to review by the New York State Department of Health, this Agreement is subject to the approval of the New York State Department of Health as to form. If this Agreement is implemented prior to such approval, the parties agree to incorporate into this Agreement any and all modifications required by the Department of Health for approval or, alternatively, to terminate this Agreement if so directed by the Department of Health. The "New York State Department of Health Standard Clauses for Managed Care Provider/IPA/ACO Contracts", attached to the Agreement as Attachment A, are expressly incorporated into this Agreement and are binding upon the Article 44 plans and providers that contract with such plans, and who are a party to this Agreement. In the event of any inconsistent or contrary language between the Standard Clauses and any other part of the Agreement, including but not limited to appendices, amendments, exhibits, the parties agree that the provisions of the Standard Clauses shall prevail, except to the extent applicable law requires otherwise and/or to the extent a provision of the Agreement exceeds the minimum requirements of the Standard Clauses.

10.2 Blue Cross Blue Shield Out of Area Program. Provider agrees to provide Covered Services to any person who is covered under another BCBSA out of area or reciprocal program, and to submit Claims for payment in accordance with current BCBSA Claims filing guidelines. Provider agrees to accept payment by Plan at the Empire Rate for the equivalent Network as payment in full except Provider may bill, collect and accept compensation for Cost Shares.

In addition, if the Provider renders services to a person who is covered under another BCBSA out of area reciprocal program and the service is denied as not being Medically Necessary, Provider shall have the right to request that Empire shall obtain the utilization management criteria utilized for the Medical Necessity determination from the applicable Plan.

agents on a quarterly basis in accordance with the quarterly updates made by CMS to its drug pricing file or any other external or internal source as set forth in this PCS. Retroactive adjustments made by CMS to its drug pricing file shall be inapplicable to Empire's fee allowances and payment responsibility.

 

Out-of-Network Compensation. Except for Government Programs, if Provider renders services to a Member who accesses a Network in which Provider does not participate, Provider will receive compensation as follows:

 

Plan shall compensate Provider for Emergency Services rendered to a Member based on the applicable Indemnity/Traditional/Standard Empire Rate. Provider agrees to accept the Indemnity/Traditional/Standard Empire Rate as payment in full and shall only bill for the applicable Cost Share.

Except for Emergency Services, if the Member's Health Benefit Plan requires authorization by the Plan or a Provider for out of Network Covered Services in order for the Member to have the highest level of benefits, and such authorization has been given, then Plan shall compensate Provider for such authorized Covered Services based on the applicable Participating Provider ("Indemnity/Traditional/Standard") Empire Rate. Provider agrees to accept the Indemnity/Traditional/Standard Empire Rate as payment in full and shall only bill for the applicable Cost Share. Except for Emergency Services, if the Member's Health Benefit Plan does not have out-of-network benefits unless authorized by the Plan or Provider, Plan shall have no liability for Health Services rendered without such authorization. In that event, Provider shall bill the Member for Health Services rendered.

 

Except for Emergency Services, if the Member's Health Benefit Plan has out-of-network benefits without authorization being required by the Plan or Provider, and no authorization has been given, then Plan will compensate Provider for Covered Services based on the Empire Rate established for the Network and/or product that supports the Member's Health Benefit Plan. For example, if the Member's access is supported by PPO Network, compensation is based on the applicable Empire Rate for the PPO Network. Provider shall only bill for the applicable Cost Share as well as any amount designated as the Member's responsibility on the Provider payment voucher (or other written notice of explanation of payment). In no event shall payment from Plan and the Member exceed Provider's Charge for such Covered Services.

 

MEDICARE ADVANTAGE

 

For MA Covered Services provided by or on behalf of Provider to a Medicare Advantage Member, Provider agrees to accept, as the Anthem Medicare Advantage Rate, the lesser of Eligible Charges or Plan's Fee Schedule.

 

When determining the Empire Medicare Advantage Rate, any reimbursement terms in this Agreement that are based, in whole or in part, on Medicare rates, pricing, fee schedules, or payment methodologies published or established by CMS, shall refer to the per claim payment amounts that CMS and a Medicare beneficiary would directly pay to Provider for the same items or services under fee-for-service Medicare Part A or Part B. The Empire Medicare Advantage Rate shall not include any bonus payment, or settlement amount paid to Provider by CMS outside of the Medicare per claim payment process, unless otherwise set forth in the Medicare Advantage reimbursement terms of this Agreement. Unless Empire notifies Provider otherwise, in the event CMS changes payment to Provider due to a CMS directive, Act of Congress, Executive Order, or Regulatory Requirement, the amount payable to Provider hereunder will automatically be changed as soon as reasonably practicable, as described herein, in the amount specified by CMS as a result of such directive or change in law, or in the absence of such specification, in the same percentage amount as payment is changed by CMS to Provider.

PLAN COMPENSATION SCHEDULE ("PCS")

 

I. DEFINITIONS

 

"Emergency Condition" is defined as a medical condition that manifests itself by such acute symptoms of sufficient severity, including severe pain, such that a prudent layperson with an average knowledge of health and medicine could reasonably expect the absence of immediate medical attention to result in any of the following: (1) placing the health of the individual, or with respect to a pregnant woman, the health of the woman or her unborn child, in serious jeopardy; (2) serious impairment to bodily functions; or (3) serious dysfunction of any bodily organ or part.

 

III.
PROVIDER TYPE

 

Specialty Physician Group Obligations. Provider is designated as a Specialty Care Provider ("SCP" or "Specialty Care Provider") for those Network(s) designated on the Provider Networks Attachment of the Agreement.

 

Except in case of an Emergency, or as otherwise set forth in the Member's Health Benefit Plan, or required by Regulatory Requirements, prior to treating a Member, Specialty Care Provider agrees to obtain a referral, in accordance with Member's Health Benefit Plan, from a Primary Care Provider ("PCP") who is primarily responsible for providing or authorizing the professional services as set forth in the Health Benefit Plan.

 

A Provider who is a Primary Care Provider, or a gynecologist or obstetrician, shall provide Health Services or make arrangements for the provision of Health Services to Members on a twenty-four (24) hour per day, seven

(7) day a week basis to assure availability, adequacy, and continuity of care to Members. In the event a Provider is not one of the foregoing described Providers, then Provider shall provide Health Services to Members on a twenty-four (24) hour per day, seven (7) day a week basis or at such times as Health Services are typically provided by similar providers to assure availability, adequacy, and continuity of care to Member. If Provider is unable to provide Health Services as described in the previous sentence, Provider will arrange for another Network Provider to cover Provider's patients in Provider's absence.

 

To the extent required by Regulatory Requirements or an accrediting body, upon termination without cause, Provider will provide timely, sixty (60) day, notice to affected Member(s) of termination of this Agreement or termination of individual Network participation.

 

Specialty Provider Group (Non-MD or DO) Obligations.

(60) days prior written notice when Provider no longer accepts new patients.

IV.
SPECIFIC REIMBURSEMENT TERMS COMMERCIAL BUSINESS

Allowances for Injectable/Infusible/Oral Drugs, Vaccines and Radiopharmaceutical Agents. Plan shall automatically update its allowance for injectable/infusible/oral drugs, vaccines and radiopharmaceutical agents on a quarterly basis in accordance with the quarterly updates made by CMS to its drug pricing file or any other external or internal source as set forth in this PCS. Retroactive adjustments made by CMS to its drug pricing file shall be inapplicable to Anthem's fee allowances and payment responsibility.

 

Out-of-Network Compensation. Except for Government Programs, if Provider renders services to a Member who accesses a Network in which Provider does not participate, Provider will receive compensation as follows:

 

Plan shall compensate Provider for Emergency Services rendered to a Member based on the applicable Indemnity/Standard Anthem Rate. Provider agrees to accept the Indemnity/Standard Anthem Rate as payment in full and shall only bill for the applicable Cost Share.

Except for Emergency Services, if the Member's Health Benefit Plan requires authorization by the Plan or a Provider for out of Network Covered Services in order for the Member to have the highest level of benefits, and such authorization has been given, then Plan shall compensate Provider for such authorized Covered Services based on the applicable Participating Provider ("Indemnity/Standard") Anthem Rate. Provider agrees to accept the Indemnity/Standard Anthem Rate as payment in full and shall only bill for the applicable Cost Share. Except for Emergency Services, if the Member's Health Benefit Plan does not have out-of-network benefits unless authorized by the Plan or Provider, Plan shall have no liability for Health Services rendered without such authorization. In that event, Provider shall bill the Member for Health Services rendered.

 

Except for Emergency Services, if the Member's Health Benefit Plan has out-of-network benefits without authorization being required by the Plan or Provider, and no authorization has been given, then Plan will compensate Provider for Covered Services based on one hundred percent (100%) of the Indemnity/Standard Anthem Rate and/or product that supports the Member's Health Benefit Plan. For example, if the Member's access is supported by PPO Network, compensation is based on the applicable Anthem Rate for the local Ohio PPO Network. Provider shall only bill for the applicable Cost Share as well as any amount designated as the Member's responsibility on the Provider payment voucher (or other written notice of explanation of payment). In no event shall payment from Plan and the Member exceed Provider's Charge for such Covered Services. Notwithstanding any contrary provision contained herein, if Provider is not a Network/Participating Provider in Anthem Pathway Networks/products, Provider shall accept one hundred percent (100%) of the CMS rate as payment in full. Anthem Pathway Networks/products, as designated by Anthem, are On and Off Exchange individual products and off Exchange group products offered by Anthem.

 

MEDICARE ADVANTAGE

 

For MA Covered Services provided by or on behalf of Provider to a Medicare Advantage Member, Provider agrees to accept, as the Anthem Medicare Advantage Rate, the lesser of Eligible Charges or a Fee Schedule based on one hundred percent (100%) of the CMS Medicare fee schedules.

 

When determining the Anthem Medicare Advantage Rate, any reimbursement terms in this Agreement that are based, in whole or in part, on Medicare rates, pricing, fee schedules or payment methodologies published or established by CMS, shall refer to the per claim payment amounts that CMS and a Medicare beneficiary would directly pay to Provider for the same items or services under fee-for-service Medicare Part A or Part B. The Anthem Medicare Advantage Rate shall not include any bonus payment or settlement amount paid to Provider by CMS outside of the Medicare per claim payment process, unless otherwise set forth in the Medicare Advantage reimbursement terms of this Agreement. Unless Anthem notifies Provider otherwise, in

Provider agrees to accept as payment in full, in all circumstances, the applicable Anthem Rate whether such payment is in the form of a Cost Share, a payment by Plan, or a payment by another source, such as through coordination of benefits or subrogation. Provider shall bill, collect, and accept compensation for Cost Shares. Provider agrees to make reasonable efforts to verify Cost Shares prior to billing for such Cost Shares.

In the event of nonpayment and/or insolvency of a Plan that is not underwritten by Anthem or an Affiliate, Provider further agrees that it shall not seek compensation from or have any other recourse against Anthem or an Affiliate.

 

For purposes of this provision, Provider shall include all subcontractors of the Provider. The Provider will make no charge and render no bill to any Plan, the Member, or the Member's guarantor for any services unless such services are certified as Medically Necessary and not Investigational* according to the terms of the utilization management program, a copy of which is included in the provider manual. The Provider also agrees that it will make no charge and render no bill to any Plan, the Member, or the Member's guarantor for any penalty or reduction in benefits required under a Member's Health Benefit Plan for failure to request Medical Necessity pre-authorization or pre- certification of services or extension of such services.

 

 

Notwithstanding any other section of the above paragraphs, in the event that any Plan notifies a Member and the Provider in writing that a service is not considered Medically Necessary, or is considered Investigational and therefore non-Covered, the Provider may bill such Member for such service if and only if: (a) the Member is notified, in writing, by the Provider that the services are not Medically Necessary or are Investigational (as applicable) in Plan's opinion and, therefore will not be covered; (b) following such notice, the Member acknowledges, in advance of receiving such services, his/her consent to receive or continue to receive such services and accept responsibility for payment; and (c) such notice and acknowledgment shall be in writing and contain, at a minimum, the date, time, description of the services to be rendered, the estimated cost of the services to be rendered, and the Member's signature. The Provider shall make such written notice/acknowledgement a part of the Member's medical record. Upon request, copies of the written notice/acknowledgement to the Member by the Provider shall be provided to Plan by the Provider. Nothing in the preceding sentences shall permit the Provider to bill any Plan for any such services. Any such written notice/acknowledgement must be obtained on a case-by-case basis.

 

To the extent that the Payment in Full and Hold Harmless provisions above are prohibited by law, they shall be inapplicable.

 

*Investigational means any service or supply that is judged to be Investigational at Anthem's sole discretion. Services which do not meet each of the following criteria will be excluded from coverage as Investigational:

 

Any supply or drug used must have received final approval to market by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") for the particular indication or application in question. Moreover, quantities of any drug or medication used, except those drugs used in the treatment of cancer pain and prescribed in compliance with established statutes pertaining to patients with intractable cancer pain, must be within recommended maximum daily dose or duration established by the FDA or any of the standard reference compendia defined below. There are two (2) exceptions which apply when a drug has received final approval to market by the FDA, but not for the particular indication or application in question.

 

a)
This criterion will be satisfied if the use of the drug is recognized for treatment of the indication or application in any of the following resources:

 

i.
The following three (3) standard reference compendia defined below:

 

a)

Peer-reviewed medical literature means a scientific study published only after having been critically reviewed for scientific accuracy, validity, and reliability by unbiased independent experts. This study must appear in a journal that has been determined by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors to have met the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts submitted to biomedical journals. Peer-reviewed medical literature does not include publications or supplements to publications that are sponsored to a significant extent by a pharmaceutical manufacturing company or health carrier; or

 

b)
In the case where the drug is being used for the treatment of a specific type of cancer, this criterion will be satisfied if the use of the drug is recognized as safe and effective for treatment of the specific type of cancer in any of the standard reference compendia. Despite the above two (2) exceptions, this criterion will not be satisfied if the FDA has determined that use of the drug is not recommended for the treatment of the specific indication for which it is prescribed.

 

 

There must be enough information in the peer-reviewed medical and scientific literature to let Anthem judge the safety and efficacy.

 

2.6.3
The available scientific evidence must show a good effect on health outcomes outside a research setting.

 

The service or supply must be as safe and effective outside a research setting as current diagnostic or therapeutic options.

 

New technologies are evaluated against these criteria to determine if services should be included as a Covered Service or considered Investigational.

 

Hold Harmless for Non-Covered Services Rendered to HMO Members. In the event that the Provider provides non-Covered Services of any type to a Member enrolled in a Plan that is a health maintenance organization, the Provider shall, prior to the provision of such non-Covered Services, notify such Member in writing: (i) of the services to be provided, (ii) that no Plan will pay for or be liable for said services, and (iii) that the Member will be financially liable for such services. Such notice must also contain the date and time such services are to be rendered as well as a description and an estimate of cost of such services. The Provider shall have the Member sign an acknowledgement that he or she understands these terms contained in the notice. If such Member is so advised and the notice and acknowledgement is signed, the Provider may bill such Member for such services. If the Member is not so advised or if the notice/acknowledgement is not signed by the Member, then the Provider may not bill the Member for such services. The Provider shall make such written notice/acknowledgement a part of the Member's medical record. Upon request, copies of the written notice/acknowledgement shall be provided to Plan by the Provider. Nothing in the preceding sentences shall permit the Provider to bill any Plan for any such services. Any such written notice/acknowledgement must be obtained on a case-by-case basis.

 

2.7

In such event, Provider agrees that all future Claim payments applied to satisfy Provider's repayment obligation shall be deemed to have been paid in full for all purposes, including section 2.6.1. Should Provider disagree with any determination by Plan that Provider has received an overpayment, Provider shall have the right to appeal such determination under Anthem's procedures set forth in the provider manual, and such appeal shall not suspend Anthem's right to recoup the overpayment amount during the appeal process unless suspension of the right to recoup is otherwise required by Regulatory Requirements, .and the restrictions as set forth in the provider manual.

For purposes of this provision, subcontractors shall include, but are not limited to, vendors and non-Participating Providers that provide supplies, equipment, staffing, and other services to Members at the request of, under the supervision of, and/or at the place of business of Provider. Provider shall provide Anthem with thirty (30) days prior notice of any Health Services subcontractors with which Provider may contract to perform Provider's duties and obligations under this Agreement, so that Anthem can reach out to such subcontractors to engage in good faith efforts to enter into agreement with subcontractor. Until such time as an agreement is entered into between Anthem and subcontractor, Provider shall remain responsible to Plan for the compliance of his/her/its subcontractors with the terms and conditions of this Agreement as applicable, including, but not limited to, the Payment in Full and Hold Harmless provisions herein.

[Subcontractor] further agrees that (1) this section shall survive the termination of this Agreement regardless of the cause giving rise to such termination and shall be construed to be for the benefit of the Plan's Members and (2) this section supersedes any oral or written agreement to the contrary now existing or hereafter entered into between [Subcontractor] and the Members or persons acting on the Member's behalf.

The terms and conditions of Provider's participation as a Participating Provider in such additional Networks, products and/or programs shall be on the terms and conditions as set forth in this Agreement unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Provider and Anthem. Plan shall give Provider the opportunity to be included in these separate Networks or sub-Networks if Provider meets Plan's terms and conditions, if required by applicable Virginia law.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, if Provider provides a Health Service to a Member for which Provider is not a designated Participating Provider in a Health Services Designated Network then Provider agrees that he/she/it shall not be reimbursed for such services by Anthem, Plan or the Member, unless Provider was authorized to provide such Health Service by Plan.

In addition, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to create any financial incentive for Provider to withhold Covered Services, or prohibit Provider from disclosing to the Member the general methodology by which Provider is compensated under this Agreement, such as for example, whether Provider is paid on a fee for service, capitation or Percentage Rate basis. Plan shall not refuse to allow or to continue the participation of any otherwise eligible provider, or refuse to compensate Provider in connection with services rendered, solely because Provider has in good faith communicated with one or more of his/her/its current, former or prospective patients regarding the provisions, terms or requirements of a Health Benefit Plan as they relate to the health needs of such patient.
