ADDENDUM B.1
COMMERCIAL BENEFIT PROGRAMS
I.
Applicability. This Addendum B.1 and accompanying exhibits apply to Covered
Services delivered to Beneficiaries covered by commercial Benefit Programs that include but are not
limited to HMO, PPO, EPO, POS, and any leased networks. All Covered Services delivered to a
Beneficiary covered by a commercial Benefit Program shall be paid in accordance with this Addendum B.1
regardless of product specific name unless otherwise specifically agreed by the parties and set forth in a
separate rate exhibit.
II.
Preferred Provider Organization (PPO), Exclusive Provider Organization (EPO),
Point of Service (POS), Leased PPO Benefit Programs, and Payor Disclosures. Provider understands and
agrees that Health Net may sell, lease, transfer or convey a list, including Provider, to Payors.
Payors shall actively encourage subscribers to use the list of contracted providers when obtaining medical
care. Active encouragement includes offering subscribers direct financial incentives to use the list of
contracted providers when obtaining medical care (such as reduced Copayments, Coinsurance and
Deductibles), or providing or causing the provision of information to subscribers advising such subscribers
of the existence of a list of contracted providers through a variety of advertising or marketing approaches
that supply the names, addresses and telephone numbers of contracted providers to subscribers in advance
of their selection of a health care provider. Nothing in this Addendum B.1 shall be construed to require a
Payor to actively encourage such Payor's subscribers to use the list of contracted providers, including
Provider, when obtaining medical care in the event of an Emergency.
Health Net shall not permit Payors to access this Agreement and pay Provider's contracted rate for the
Benefit Programs covered by this Addendum unless Payor, or Health Net on Payor's behalf, has actively
encouraged Payor's subscribers to use the list of contracted providers in obtaining medical care.
Provider agrees that the following commercial Benefit Program Payors are eligible to pay Provider's
contracted rate under this Addendum B.1 as of the effective date of this Agreement:
NOT APPLICABLE
Health Net may modify the above list periodically. Provider may request in writing, and Health Net shall
have thirty (30) days from the date of such request, to provide Provider with an updated listing of Payors.
Provider understands and agrees that any Health Net company, including, but not limited to, Health Net
Life Insurance Company, are not Payors under Exhibit B.1-1, but shall access this Agreement as Health
Net.
III.
Payment Compensation. As compensation for rendering Contracted Services to
Beneficiaries covered by commercial HMO, PPO, EPO, POS and Leased PPO Benefit Programs under this
Addendum B.1, Health Net shall pay and Provider shall accept as payment in full the rates set forth in
Exhibit B.1-1, subject to the compensation conditions set forth in Exhibit B.1-1. Provider shall submit
claims for such services in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and applicable State and federal
law. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the parties acknowledge that each Payor is
solely responsible for paying Provider for Covered Services rendered to those individuals for whom Payor
provides health care coverage. For self-insured Payors, Health Net shall not be obligated to pay all or any
portion of any Provider claim on a Payor's behalf unless and until Health Net has received sufficient funds
from the applicable Payor to cover such claim. In the event such Payor fails to provide funds to Health
Net, Provider may seek payment from Member up to the rates specified in this Exhibit, unless prohibited by
applicable law.

C.
PAYMENT/RISK ARRANGEMENTS
1.
Enrollee Non-liability. Provider agrees that in no event, including, but nót limited to,
nonpayment by the MCO or IPA, insolvency of the MCO or IPA, or breach of this
8
Bentley Medical PLLC 6.10.14
Start of Page No. = 9
Agreement, shall Provider bill, charge, collect a deposit from, seek compensation,
remuneration or reimbursement from, or have any recourse against a subscriber, an
enrollee or person (other than the MCO or IPA) acting on his/her/their behalf, for
services provided pursuant to the subscriber contract or Medicaid Managed Care contract
or Family Health Plus contract and this Agreement, for the period covered by the paid
enrollee premium. In addition, in the case of Medicaid Managed Care, Provider agrees
that, during the time an enrollee is enrolled in the MCO, he/she/it will not bill the New
York State Department of Health or the City of New York for Covered Services within
the Medicaid Managed Care Benefit Package as set forth in the Agreement between the
MCO and the New York State Department of Health. In the case of Family Health Plus,
Provider agrees that, during the time an enrollee is enrolled in the MCO, he/she/it will not
bill the New York State Department of Health for Covered Services within the Family
Health Plus Benefit Package, as set forth in the Agreement between the MCO and the
New York State Department of Health. This provision shall not prohibit the provider,
unless the MCO is a managed long term care plan designated as a Program of All-
Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE), from collecting copayments, coinsurance
amounts, or permitted deductibles, as specifically provided in the evidence of coverage,
or fees for uncovered services delivered on a fee-for-service basis to a covered person
provided that Provider shall have advised the enrollee in writing that the service is
uncovered and of the enrollee's liability therefore prior to providing the service. Where
the Provider has not been given a list of services covered by the MCO, and/or Provider is
uncertain as to whether a service is covered, the Provider shall make reasonable efforts to
contact the MCO and obtain a coverage determination prior to advising an enrollee as to
coverage and liability for payment and prior to providing the service. This provision
shall survive termination of this Agreement for any reason, and shall supersede any oral
or written agreement now existing or hereafter entered into between Provider and
enrollee or person acting on his or her behalf.
2.
Coordination of Benefits (COB). To the extent otherwise permitted in this Agreement,
the Provider may participate in collection of COB on behalf of the MCO, with COB
collectibles accruing to the MCO or to the provider. However, with respect to enrollees
eligible for medical assistance, or participating in Child Health Plus or Family Health
Plus, the Provider shall maintain and make available to the MCO records reflecting COB
proceeds collected by the Provider or paid directly to enrollees by third party payers, and
amounts thereof, and the MCO shall maintain or have immediate access to records
concerning collection of COB proceeds.
3.
If the Provider is a health care professional licensed, registered or certified under Title 8
of the Education Law, the MCO or the IPA must provide notice to the Provider at least
ninety (90) days prior to the effective date of any adverse reimbursement arrangement as
required by Public Health Law § 4406-c(5-c). Adverse reimbursement change shall
mean a proposed change that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse
impact on the aggregate level of payment to a health care professional. This provision
does not apply if the reimbursement change is required by law, regulation or applicable
regulatory authority; is required as a result of changes in fee schedules, reimbursement
methodology or payment policies established by the American Medical Association
current procedural terminology (CPT) codes, reporting guidelines and conventions; or
9
Bentley Medical PLLC 6.10.14
Start of Page No. = 10
such change is expressly provided for under the terms of this Agreement by the inclusion
or reference to a specific fee or fee schedule, reimbursement methodology or payment
policy indexing scheme.
4.
The parties agree to comply with and incorporate the requirements of Physician Incentive
Plan (PIP) Regulations contained in 42 CFR 438.6(h), 42 CFR § 422.208, and 42 CFR §
422.210 into any contracts between the contracting entity (provider, IPA, hospital, etc.)
and other persons/entities for the provision of services under this Agreement. No specific
payment will be made directly or indirectly under the plan to a physician or physician
group as an inducement to reduce or limit medically necessary services furnished to an
enrollee.
5.
The parties agree that a claim for home health care services following an inpatient
hospital stay cannot be denied on the basis of medical necessity or a lack of prior
authorization while a utilization review determination is pending if all necessary
information was provided before a member's inpatient hospital discharge, consistent with
Public Health Law § 4903.
D.
RECORDS ACCESS
1.
Pursuant to appropriate consent/authorization by the enrollee, the Provider will make the
enrollee's medical records and other personally identifiable information (including
encounter data for government-sponsored programs) available to the MCO (and IPA if
applicable), for purposes including preauthorization, concurrent review, quality
assurance, (including Quality Assurance Reporting Requirements ("QARR")), payment
processing, and qualification for government programs, including but not limited to

Agreement, shall Provider bill, charge, collect a deposit from, seek compensation,
remuneration or reimbursement from, or have any recourse against a subscriber, an

services provided pursuant to the subscriber contract or Medicaid Managed Care contract
BorbasSurgicalSupply,Inc.AMD.07.20.12
8
Start of Page No. = 9
or Family Health Plus contract and this Agreement, for the period covered by the paid
enrollee premium. In addition, in the case of Medicaid Managed Care, Provider agrees
that, during the time an enrollee is enrolled in the MCO, he/she/it will not bill the New
York State Department of Health or the City of New York for Covered Services within
the Medicaid Managed Care Benefit Package as set forth in the Agreement between the
MCO and the New York State Department of Health. In the case of Family Health Plus,
Provider agrees that, during the time an enrollee is enrolled in the MCO, he/she/it will not
bill the New York State Department of Health for Covered Services within the Family
Health Plus Benefit Package, as set forth in the Agreement between the MCO and the
New York State Department of Health. This provision shall not prohibit the provider,
unless the MCO is a managed long term care plan designated as a Program of All-
Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE), from collecting copayments, coinsurance
amounts, or permitted deductibles, as specifically provided in the evidence of coverage,
or fees for uncovered services delivered on a fee-for-service basis to a covered person
provided that Provider shall have advised the enrollee in writing that the service is
uncovered and of the enrollee's liability therefore prior to providing the service. Where
the Provider has not been given a list of services covered by the MCO, and/or Provider is
uncertain as to whether a service is covered, the Provider shall make reasonable efforts to
contact the MCO and obtain a coverage determination prior to advising an enrollee as to
coverage and liability for payment and prior to providing the service. This provision
shall survive termination of this Agreement for any reason, and shall supersede any oral
or written agreement now existing or hereafter entered into between Provider and
enrollee or person acting on his or her behalf.
2.
Coordination of Benefits (COB). To the extent otherwise permitted in this Agreement,
the Provider may participate in collection of COB on behalf of the MCO, with COB
collectibles accruing to the MCO or to the provider. However, with respect to enrollees
eligible for medical assistance, or participating in Child Health Plus or Family Health
Plus, the Provider shall maintain and make available to the MCO records reflecting COB
proceeds collected by the Provider or paid directly to enrollees by third party payers, and
amounts thereof, and the MCO shall maintain or have immediate access to records
concerning collection of COB proceeds.

enrollee.
5.
The parties agree that a claim for home health care services following an inpatient

Public Health Law § 4903.
D.
RECORDS ACCESS
1.
Pursuant to appropriate consent/authorization by the enrollee, the Provider will make the
enrollee's medical records and other personally identifiable information (including

applicable), for purposes including preauthorization, concurrent review, quality
assurance, (including Quality Assurance Reporting Requirements ("QARR")), payment
processing, and qualification for government programs, including but not limited to
newborn eligibility for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and for MCO/Manager
analysis and recovery of overpayments due to fraud and abuse. The Provider will also
make enrollee medical records available to the State for management audits, financial
audits, program monitoring and evaluation, licensure or certification of facilities or
individuals, and as otherwise required by state law. The Provider shall provide copies of
such records to DOH at no cost. The Provider (or IPA if applicable) expressly
acknowledges that he/she/it shall also provide to the MCO and the State (at no expense to
the State), on request, all financial data and reports, and information concerning the
appropriateness and quality of services provided, as required by law. These provisions
shall survive termination of the contract for any reason.
2.
When such records pertain to Medicaid or Family Health Plus reimbursable services the
Provider agrees to disclose the nature and extent of services provided and to furnish
records to DOH and/or the United States Department of Health and Human Services, the
County Department of Social Services, the Comptroller of the State of New York, the
Office of the Medicaid Inspector General, the New York State Attorney General, and the
Comptroller General of the United States and their authorized representatives upon
request. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement regardless of the
reason.
3.
The parties agree that medical records shall be retained for a period of six (6) years after
the date of service, and in the case of a minor, for three (3) years after majority or six (6)
years after the date of service, whichever is later, or for such longer period as specified
elsewhere within this Agreement. This provision shall survive the termination of this
Agreement regardless of the reason.

4.
The MCO and the Provider agree that the MCO will obtain consent directly from
enrollees at the time of enrollment or at the earliest opportunity, or that the Provider will
obtain consent from enrollees at the time service is rendered or at the earliest opportunity,
for disclosure of medical records to the MCO, to an IPA or to third parties. If the
Agreement is between an MCO and an IPA, or between an IPA and an IPA, the IPA
agrees to require the providers with which it contracts to agree as provided above. If the
Agreement is between an IPA and a provider, the Provider agrees to obtain consent from
the enrollee if the enrollee has not previously signed consent for disclosure of medical
records.
E.
TERMINATION AND TRANSITION
1.
Termination or non-renewal of an agreement between an MCO and an IPA, institutional
network provider, or medical group Provider that serves five percent or more of the
enrolled population in a county, or the termination or non-renewal of an agreement
between an IPA and an institutional Provider or medical group Provider that serves five
percent or more of the enrolled population in a county, requires notice to the
Commissioner of Health. Unless otherwise provided by statute or regulation, the
effective date of termination shall not be less than 45 days after receipt of notice by either
party, provided, however, that termination, by the MCO may be effected on less than 45
days notice provided the MCO demonstrates to DOH's satisfaction prior to termination
that circumstances exist which threaten imminent harm to enrollees or which result in
Provider being legally unable to deliver the covered services and, therefore, justify or
require immediate termination.
2.
If this Agreement is between the MCO and a health care professional, the MCO shall
provide to such health care professional a written explanation of the reasons for the
proposed contract termination, other than non-renewal, and an opportunity for a review as
required by state law. The MCO shall provide the health care professional 60 days notice
of its decision to not renew this Agreement.
3.
If this Agreement is between an MCO and an IPA, and the Agreement does not provide
for automatic assignment of the IPA's Provider contracts to the MCO upon termination
of the MCO/IPA contract, in the event either party gives notice of termination of the
Agreement, the parties agree, and the IPA's providers agree, that the IPA providers shall
continue to provide care to the MCO's enrollees pursuant to the terms of this Agreement
for 180 days following the effective date of termination, or until such time as the MCO
makes other arrangements, whichever first occurs. This provision shall survive
termination of this Agreement regardless of the reason for the termination.
4.
Continuation of Treatment. The Provider agrees that in the event of MCO or IPA
insolvency or termination of this contract for any reason, the Provider shall continue,
until medically appropriate discharge or transfer, or completion of a course of treatment,
whichever occurs first, to provide services pursuant to the subscriber contract, Medicaid
Managed Care contract, or Family Health Plus contract, to an enrollee confined in an
inpatient facility, provided the confinement or course of treatment was commenced
during the paid premium period. For purposes of this clause, the term "provider"
shall include the IPA and the IPA's contracted providers if this Agreement is
BorbasSurgicalSupply,Inc.AMD.07.20.12
11
Start of Page No. = 12
between the MCO and an IPA. This provision shall survive termination of this
Agreement.
5.
Notwithstanding any other provision herein, to the extent that the Provider is providing
health care services to enrollees under the Medicaid Program and/or Family Health Plus,
the MCO or IPA retains the option to immediately terminate the Agreement when the
Provider has been terminated or suspended from the Medicaid Program.
6.
In the event of termination of this Agreement, the Provider agrees, and, where applicable,
the IPA agrees to require all participating providers of its network to assist in the orderly
transfer of enrollees to another provider.
F.
ARBITRATION
1.
To the extent that arbitration or alternative dispute resolution is authorized elsewhere in
this Agreement, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the Commissioner of
Health is not bound by arbitration or mediation decisions. Arbitration or mediation shall
occur within New York State, and the Commissioner of Health will be given notice of all
issues going to arbitration or mediation, and copies of all decisions.
G.
IPA-SPECIFIC PROVISIONS
1.
Any reference to IPA quality assurance (QA) activities within this Agreement is limited
to the IPA's analysis of utilization patterns and quality of care on its own behalf and as a
service to its contract providers.

nonpayment by the MCO or IPA, insolvency of the MCO or IPA, or breach of this
Agreement, shall Provider bill, charge, collect a deposit from, seek compensation,

or person (other than the MCO or IPA) acting on his/her/their behalf, for services provided
pursuant to the subscriber contract or Medicaid Managed Care contract or Family Health
Plus contract and this Agreement, for the period covered by the paid enrollee premium. In

BethpageMedicalPLLC.cs.08.06.13
9
Start of Page No. = 10
enrollee is enrolled in the MCO, he/she/it will not bill the New York State Department of
Health or the City of New York for Covered Services within the Medicaid Managed Care
Benefit Package as set forth in the Agreement between the MCO and the New York State
Department of Health. In the case of Family Health Plus, Provider agrees that, during the
time an enrollee is enrolled in the MCO, he/she/it will not bill the New York State
Department of Health for Covered Services within the Family Health Plus Benefit Package,
as set forth in the Agreement between the MCO and the New York State Department of
Health. This provision shall not prohibit the provider, unless the MCO is a managed long
term care plan designated as a Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE), from
collecting copayments, coinsurance amounts, or permitted deductibles, as specifically
provided in the evidence of coverage, or fees for uncovered services delivered on a fee-for-
service basis to a covered person provided that Provider shall have advised the enrollee in
writing that the service is uncovered and of the enrollee's liability therefore prior to providing
the service. Where the Provider has not been given a list of services covered by the MCO,
and/or Provider is uncertain as to whether a service is covered, the Provider shall make
reasonable efforts to contact the MCO and obtain a coverage determination prior to advising
an enrollee as to coverage and liability for payment and prior to providing the service. This
provision shall survive termination of this Agreement for any reason, and shall supersede any
oral or written agreement now existing or hereafter entered into between Provider and
enrollee or person acting on his or her behalf.
2.
Coordination of Benefits (COB). To the extent otherwise permitted in this Agreement, the
Provider may participate in collection of COB on behalf of the MCO, with COB collectibles
accruing to the MCO or to the provider. However, with respect to enrollees eligible for
medical assistance, or participating in Child Health Plus or Family Health Plus, the Provider
shall maintain and make available to the MCO records reflecting COB proceeds collected by
the Provider or paid directly to enrollees by third party payers, and amounts thereof, and the
MCO shall maintain or have immediate access to records concerning collection of COB
proceeds.
3.
If the Provider is a health care professional licensed, registered or certified under Title 8 of
the Education Law, the MCO or the IPA must provide notice to the Provider at least ninety
(90) days prior to the effective date of any adverse reimbursement arrangement as required by
Public Health Law § 4406-c(5-c). Adverse reimbursement change shall mean a proposed
change that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse impact on the aggregate
level of payment to a health care professional. This provision does not apply if the
reimbursement change is required by law, regulation or applicable regulatory authority; is
required as a result of changes in fee schedules, reimbursement methodology or payment
policies established by the American Medical Association current procedural terminology
(CPT) codes, reporting guidelines and conventions; or such change is expressly provided for
under the terms of this Agreement by the inclusion or reference to a specific fee or fee
schedule, reimbursement methodology or payment policy indexing scheme.

Plan (PIP) Regulations contained in 42 CFR 438.6(h), 42 CFR § 422.208, and 42 CFR §

BethpageMedicalPLLC.cs.08.06.13
10
Start of Page No. = 11
other persons/entities for the provision of services under this Agreement. No specific
payment will be made directly or indirectly under the plan to a physician or physician group
as an inducement to reduce or limit medically necessary services furnished to an enrollee.
5.
The parties agree that a claim for home health care services following an inpatient hospital
stay cannot be denied on the basis of medical necessity or a lack of prior authorization while
a utilization review determination is pending if all necessary information was provided
before a member's inpatient hospital discharge, consistent with Public Health Law § 4903.
D.
RECORDS ACCESS
1.
Pursuant to appropriate consent/authorization by the enrollee, the Provider will make the
enrollee's medical records and other personally identifiable information (including encounter
data for government-sponsored programs) available to the MCO (and IPA if applicable), for
purposes including preauthorization, concurrent review, quality assurance, (including Quality
Assurance Reporting Requirements ("QARR")), payment processing, and qualification for
government programs, including but not limited to newborn eligibility for Supplemental
Security Income (SSI) and for MCO/Manager analysis and recovery of overpayments due to
fraud and abuse. The Provider will also make enrollee medical records available to the State
for management audits, financial audits, program monitoring and evaluation, licensure or
certification of facilities or individuals, and as otherwise required by state law. The Provider
shall provide copies of such records to DOH at no cost. The Provider (or IPA if applicable)
expressly acknowledges that he/she/it shall also provide to the MCO and the State (at no
expense to the State), on request, all financial data and reports, and information concerning
the appropriateness and quality of services provided, as required by law. These provisions
shall survive termination of the contract for any reason.
2.
When such records pertain to Medicaid or Family Health Plus reimbursable services the
Provider agrees to disclose the nature and extent of services provided and to furnish records
to DOH and/or the United States Department of Health and Human Services, the County
Department of Social Services, the Comptroller of the State of New York, the Office of the
Medicaid Inspector General, the New York State Attorney General, and the Comptroller
General of the United States and their authorized representatives upon request. This
provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement regardless of the reason.
3.
The parties agree that medical records shall be retained for a period of six (6) years after the
date of service, and in the case of a minor, for three (3) years after majority or six (6) years
after the date of service, whichever is later, or for such longer period as specified elsewhere
within this Agreement. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement
regardless of the reason.
4.
The MCO and the Provider agree that the MCO will obtain consent directly from enrollees at
the time of enrollment or at the earliest opportunity, or that the Provider will obtain consent
from enrollees at the time service is rendered or at the earliest opportunity, for disclosure of
medical records to the MCO, to an IPA or to third parties. If the Agreement is between an
MCO and an IPA, or between an IPA and an IPA, the IPA agrees to require the providers
BethpageMedicalPLLC.cs.08.06.13
11
Start of Page No. = 12
with which it contracts to agree as provided above. If the Agreement is between an IPA and
a provider, the Provider agrees to obtain consent from the enrollee if the enrollee has not
previously signed consent for disclosure of medical records.
E.

network provider, or medical group Provider that serves five percent or more of the enrolled

and an institutional Provider or medical group Provider that serves five percent or more of
the enrolled population in a county, requires notice to the Commissioner of Health. Unless
otherwise provided by statute or regulation, the effective date of termination shall not be less
than 45 days after receipt of notice by either party, provided, however, that termination, by
the MCO may be effected on less than 45 days notice provided the MCO demonstrates to
DOH's satisfaction prior to termination that circumstances exist which threaten imminent
harm to enrollees or which result in Provider being legally unable to deliver the covered
services and, therefore, justify or require immediate termination.
2.
If this Agreement is between the MCO and a health care professional, the MCO shall provide
to such health care professional a written explanation of the reasons for the proposed contract
termination, other than non-renewal, and an opportunity for a review as required by state law.
The MCO shall provide the health care professional 60 days notice of its decision to not
renew this Agreement.
3.
If this Agreement is between an MCO and an IPA, and the Agreement does not provide for
automatic assignment of the IPA's Provider contracts to the MCO upon termination of the
MCO/IPA contract, in the event either party gives notice of termination of the Agreement,
the parties agree, and the IPA's providers agree, that the IPA providers shall continue to
provide care to the MCO's enrollees pursuant to the terms of this Agreement for 180 days
following the effective date of termination, or until such time as the MCO makes other
arrangements, whichever first occurs. This provision shall survive termination of this
Agreement regardless of the reason for the termination.
4.
Continuation of Treatment. The Provider agrees that in the event of MCO or IPA insolvency
or termination of this contract for any reason, the Provider shall continue, until medically
appropriate discharge or transfer, or completion of a course of treatment, whichever occurs
first, to provide services pursuant to the subscriber contract, Medicaid Managed Care
contract, or Family Health Plus contract, to an enrollee confined in an inpatient facility,
provided the confinement or course of treatment was commenced during the paid premium
period. For purposes of this clause, the term "provider" shall include the IPA and the
IPA's contracted providers if this Agreement is between the MCO and an IPA. This
provision shall survive termination of this Agreement.
5.
Notwithstanding any other provision herein, to the extent that the Provider is providing
health care services to enrollees under the Medicaid Program and/or Family Health Plus, the
BethpageMedicalPLLC.cs.08.06.13
12
Start of Page No. = 13
MCO or IPA retains the option to immediately terminate the Agreement when the Provider
has been terminated or suspended from the Medicaid Program.
6.
In the event of termination of this Agreement, the Provider agrees, and, where applicable, the
IPA agrees to require all participating providers of its network to assist in the orderly transfer
of enrollees to another provider.

Agreement, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the Commissioner of Health is
not bound by arbitration or mediation decisions. Arbitration or mediation shall occur within
New York State, and the Commissioner of Health will be given notice of all issues going to
arbitration or mediation, and copies of all decisions.

ATTACHMENT D-1
MEDICARE-MEDICAID PROGRAM COMPENSATION SCHEDULE
Medicare and Medicaid Program (MMP): Health Plan agrees to compensate Provider for Covered Services rendered to
Members, in accordance with Medicare-Medicaid Program (MMP) as specified in Attachment C, that are submitted on a
Clean Claim and determined by Health Plan to be payable, on a fee-for-service basis, at the lesser of: (i) Provider's billed
charges, or (ii) pursuant to the methodology described below. Provider will receive an amount equivalent to the Medicare
Fee-For-Service Program allowable payment rates (adjusted for place of service or geography) set forth by CMS in effect
on the Date(s) of Service, and any portion, if any, that the Medicaid agency or Medicaid managed care plan would have
been responsible for paying if the Member was enrolled in the Medicare Fee-For-Service Program. The Medicare Fee-For-
Service Program allowable payment rate deducts any cost sharing amounts, including but not limited to co-payments,
deductibles, co-insurance, or amounts paid or to be paid by other liable third parties that would have been deducted if the
Member were enrolled in the Medicare Fee-For-Service Program.
In the event a Covered Service is covered by Medicaid or is primary to Medicaid, but not Medicare, Health Plan agrees to
compensate Provider for such Covered Services rendered to Members, that are submitted on a Clean Claim and determined
by Health Plan to be payable, on a fee-for-service basis, at the lesser of: (i) Provider's billed charges, or (ii) at an amount
equivalent to the Medicaid Fee-For-Service Program allowable payment rates set forth by the State of Texas in effect on the
Date(s) of Service, less any applicable Member co-payments, deductibles, co-insurance, or amounts paid or to be paid by
other liable third parties, if any.
Provider acknowledges that CMS and the State of Texas have not released the joint-capitation rate to be paid to Health Plan
for this product/program. If, after the capitation rate is released, Health Plan determines that the above compensation for
this product/program is unsustainable, Provider agrees to negotiate a new compensation rate for this product/program with
Health Plan in good faith. If Health Plan and Provider cannot agree to a new rate before this product/program begins,
Health Plan or Provider may immediately terminate this product/program from this Agreement, in compliance with
applicable Laws.

Payment requests are submitted in accordance with applicable
law.
10. The parties to this Agreement agree to comply with all applicable requirements of

Services Law § 363-d(2) is in place. The Provider shall recertify during the month

website.
C. Payment and Risk Arrangements
1. Enrollee Non-liability. Provider agrees that in no event, including, but not limited to,
nonpayment by the MCO or IPA/ACO, insolvency of the MCO or IPA/ACO, or
breach of this Agreement, shall Provider bill; charge; collect a deposit from; seek
compensation, remuneration or reimbursement from; or have any recourse against a
subscriber, an enrollee or person (other than the MCO or IPA/ACO) acting on
his/her/their behalf, for services provided pursuant to the subscriber contract or
Medicaid Managed Care contract and this Agreement, for the period covered by the
paid enrollee premium. In addition, in the case of Medicaid Managed Care, Provider
agrees that, during the time an enrollee is enrolled in the MCO, Provider will not bill
DOH or the City of New York for covered services within the Medicaid Managed
Care benefit package as set forth in the Agreement between the MCO and DOH.
This provision shall not prohibit the Provider, unless the MCO is a Managed Long
Term Care plan designated as a Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly
(PACE), from collecting copayments, coinsurance amounts, or permitted
deductibles, as specifically provided in the evidence of coverage, or fees for
uncovered services delivered on a fee-for-service basis to a covered person,
provided that Provider shall have advised the enrollee in writing that the service is
uncovered and of the enrollee's liability therefore prior to providing the service.
Where the Provider has not been given a list of services covered by the MCO,
and/or Provider is uncertain as to whether a service is covered, the Provider shall
make reasonable efforts to contact the MCO and obtain a coverage determination
prior to advising an enrollee as to coverage and liability for payment and prior to
providing the service. This provision shall survive termination of this Agreement for
any reason and shall supersede any oral or written agreement now existing or
hereafter entered into between Provider and enrollee or person acting on his or her
behalf.
2.
Coordination of Benefits (COB). To the extent otherwise permitted in this
Agreement, the Provider may participate in collection of COB on behalf of the
MCO, with COB collectibles accruing to the MCO or to the Provider. However,
with respect to enrollees eligible for medical assistance or participating in Child
Health Plus, the Provider shall maintain and make available to the MCO records
reflecting COB proceeds collected by the Provider or paid directly to enrollees by
third party payers, and amounts thereof, and the MCO shall maintain or have
immediate access to records concerning collection of COB proceeds.
3. If the Provider is a health care professional licensed, registered or certified under
Title 8 of the Education Law, the MCO or the IPA/ACO must provide notice to the
Behavioral Analyst Professional Service PLLC
12
ABA New Code Amendment
Start of Page No. = 13
Provider at least ninety (90) days prior to the effective date of any adverse
reimbursement arrangement as required by Public Health Law 4406-c(5-c).
Adverse reimbursement change shall mean a proposed change that could reasonably
be expected to have a material adverse impact on the aggregate level of payment to a
health care professional. This provision does not apply if the reimbursement change
is required by law, regulation or applicable regulatory authority; is required as a
result of changes in fee schedules, reimbursement methodology or payment policies
established by the American Medical Association current procedural terminology
(CPT) codes, reporting guidelines and conventions; or such change is expressly
provided for under the terms of this Agreement by the inclusion or reference to a
specific fee or fee schedule, reimbursement methodology, or payment policy
indexing scheme.
4. The parties agree to comply with and incorporate the requirements of Physician
Incentive Plan (PIP) Regulations contained in 42 CFR 438.6(h), 42 CFR
422.208, and 42 CFR $422.210 into any contracts between the contracting entity
(Provider, IPA/ACO, hospital, etc.) and other persons/entities for the provision of
services under this Agreement. No specific payment will be made directly or
indirectly under the plan to a physician or physician group as an inducement to
reduce or limit medically necessary services furnished to an enrollee.
5. The parties agree that, where required by Public Health Law 4903, a claim for
certain continued, extended, or additional health care services cannot be denied on
the basis of medical necessity or a lack of prior authorization while a utilization
review determination is pending if all necessary information was provided within the
required timeframes and under the circumstances described in Public Health Law
4903.
6. The parties agree to follow Section 3224-a of the Insurance Law providing
timeframes for the submission and payment of Provider claims to the MCO.
7. The parties agree to follow Section 3224-b(a) of the Insurance Law requiring an
MCO to accept and initiate the processing of all claims submitted by physicians that
conform to the American Medical Association's Current Procedural Technology
(CPT) codes, reporting guidelines and conventions, or to the Centers for Medicare
and Medicaid Services' Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS).
8. The parties agree to follow Section 3224-b(b) of the Insurance Law prohibiting an
MCO from initiating overpayment recovery efforts more than 24 months after the
original payment was received by a health care Provider, except where: (1) the plan
makes overpayment recovery efforts that are based on a reasonable belief of fraud or
other intentional misconduct or abusive billing; (2) for the Medicaid Managed Care
and Family Health Plus programs, the overpayment recovery period for such
programs is six years from date payment was received by the health care Provider
with written notice 30 days prior to engaging in overpayment recovery efforts. Such
notice must state the patient's name, service date, payment amount, proposed

adjustment, and a reasonably specific explanation of the proposed adjustment.
9. The parties agree to follow Section 3224-c of the Insurance Law providing that
claims cannot be denied solely on the basis that the MCO has not received from the
member information concerning other insurance coverage.
10. The parties agree that this contract does not waive, limit, disclaim, or in any way
diminish the rights that any Provider may have pursuant to Section 3238 of the
Insurance Law to the receipt of claims payment for services where preauthorization
was required and received from the appropriate person or entity prior to the
rendering of the service.
11. The parties agree that for a contract involving Tier 2 or 3 arrangements as
described in Section VII.B of the Guidelines, the contract must:
a. Provide for the MCO's ongoing monitoring of Provider financial capacity
and/or periodic Provider financial reporting to the MCO to support the
transfer of risk to the Provider; and
b. Include a provision to address circumstance where the Provider's financial
condition indicates an inability to continue accepting such risk; and
C. Address MCO monitoring of the financial security deposit, describing the
method and frequency of monitoring and recourse for correcting
underfunding of the deposit to be maintained by the MCO; and
d. Include a provision that the Provider will submit any additional documents
or information related to its financial condition to the MCO, if requested by
DOH.
12. The parties agree that for any contract involving an MCO and IPA/ACO, the
contract must include provisions whereby:
a. The parties expressly agree to amend or terminate the contract at the
direction of DOH (applies to Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3);
b. The IPA/ACO will submit annual financial statements to the MCO, as well
as any additional documents required by the MCO as necessary to assess the
IPA/ACO's progress towards achieving value based payment goals as
specified in the Roadmap, and the MCO will notify DOH of any substantial
change in the financial condition of the IPA/ACO (applies to Tier 2 and
Tier 3); and
C. The IPA/ACO will submit any additional documents or information related
to its financial condition to the MCO, if requested by DOH (applies to Tier
2 and Tier 3); and
d. The parties agree that all Provider contracts will contain provision
prohibiting Providers, in the event of a default by the IPA/ACO, from
demanding payment from the MCO for any covered services rendered to
the MCO's enrollees for which payment was made by the MCO to the
IPA/ACO pursuant to the risk agreement (applies to tier 2 and Tier 3).
D. Records and Access
Behavioral Analyst Professional Service PLLC -
14
ABA New Code Amendment
Start of Page No. = 15
1. Pursuant to appropriate consent/authorization by the enrollee, the Provider will make
the enrollee's medical records and other personally identifiable information
(including encounter data for government-sponsored programs) available to the
MCO (and IPA/ACO if applicable) for purposes including preauthorization,
concurrent review, quality assurance, (including Quality Assurance Reporting
Requirements (QARR)), payment processing, and qualification for government
programs, including but not limited to newborn eligibility for Supplemental Security
Income (SSI) and for MCO/Manager analysis and recovery of overpayments due to
fraud and abuse. The Provider will also make enrollee's medical records available to
the State for management audits, financial audits, program monitoring and
evaluation, licensure or certification of facilities or individuals, and as otherwise
required by state law. The Provider shall provide copies of such records to DOH at
no cost. The Provider (or IPA/ACO if applicable) expressly acknowledges that the
Provider shall also provide to the MCO and the State (at no expense to the State), on
request, all financial data and reports, and information concerning the
appropriateness and quality of services provided, as required by law. These
provisions shall survive termination of the contract for any reason.
2. When such records pertain to Medicaid reimbursable services, the Provider
agrees to disclose the nature and extent of services provided and to furnish
records to DOH and/or the United States Department of Health and Human
Services, the County Department of Social Services, the Comptroller of the
State of New York, the Office of the Medicaid Inspector General, the New York
State Attorney General, and the Comptroller General of the United States and
their authorized representatives upon request. This provision shall survive the
termination of this Agreement regardless of the reason.
3. The parties agree that medical records shall be retained for a period of six years
after the date of service, and in the case of a minor, for three years after majority or
six years after the date of service, whichever is later, or for such longer period as
specified elsewhere within this Agreement. This provision shall survive the
termination of this Agreement regardless of the reason.
4. The MCO and the Provider agree that the MCO will obtain consent directly from
enrollees at the time of enrollment or at the earliest opportunity, or that the Provider
will obtain consent from enrollees at the time of service is rendered or at the earliest
opportunity, for disclosure of medical records to the MCO, to an IPA/ACO or to
third parties. If the Agreement is between an MCO and an IPA/ACO, or between an
IPA/ACO and an IPA/ACO, the IPA/ACO agrees to require the Providers with
which it contracts to agree as provided above. If the Agreement is between an
IPA/ACO and a Provider, the Provider agrees to obtain consent from the enrollee if
the enrollee has not previously signed consent for disclosure of medical records.
E. Termination and Transition
Behavioral Analyst Professional Service PLLC
15
ABA New Code Amendment
Start of Page No. = 16
1. Termination or non-renewal of an agreement between an MCO and an IPA/ACO,
institutional network Provider, or medical group Provider that serves five percent or
more of the enrolled population in a county, or the termination or non-renewal of an
agreement between an IPA/ACO and an institutional Provider or medical group
Provider that serves five percent or more of the enrolled population in a county,
requires notice to the Commissioner of Health. Unless otherwise provided by
statute or regulation, the effective date of termination shall not be less than 45 days
after receipt of notice by either party, provided, however, that termination by the
MCO may be effected on less than 45 days' notice provided the MCO demonstrates
to the satisfaction of DOH, prior to termination, that circumstances exist which
threaten imminent harm to enrollees or which result in Provider being legally unable
to deliver the covered services and, therefore, justify or require immediate
termination.
2.
If this Agreement is between the MCO and a health care professional, the MCO
shall provide to such health care professional a written explanation of the reasons
for the proposed contract termination, other than non-renewal, and an opportunity
for a review as required by state law. The MCO shall provide the health care
professional 60 days' notice of its decision to not renew this Agreement.
3. If this Agreement is between an MCO and an IPA/ACO, and the Agreement does
not provide for automatic assignment of the IPA/ACO's Provider contracts to the
MCO upon termination of the MCO/IPA/ACO contract, in the event either party
gives notice of termination of the Agreement, the parties agree, and the IPA/ACO's
Providers agree, that the IPA/ACO Providers shall continue to provide care to the
MCO's enrollees pursuant to the terms of this Agreement for 180 days following the
effective date of termination, or until such time as the MCO makes other
arrangements, whichever occurs first. This provision shall survive termination of this
Agreement regardless of the reason for the termination.
4.
Continuation of Treatment. The Provider agrees that in the event of MCO or
IPA/ACO insolvency or termination of this contract for any reason, the Provider
shall continue, until medically appropriate discharge or transfer, or completion of a
course of treatment, whichever occurs first, to provide services pursuant to the
subscriber contract or Medicaid Managed Care contract, to an enrollee confined in
an inpatient facility, provided the confinement or course of treatment was
commenced during the paid premium period. For purposes of this clause, the
term "Provider" shall include the IPA/ACO and the IPA/ACO's contracted
Providers if this Agreement is between the MCO and an IPA/ACO. This
provision shall survive termination of this Agreement.
5. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, to the extent that the Provider is
providing Health Care Services to enrollees under the Medicaid Program, the
MCO or IPA/ACO retains the option to immediately terminate the Agreement
when the Provider has been terminated or suspended from the Medicaid
Program.

6. In the event of termination of this Agreement, the Provider agrees, and, where
applicable, the IPA/ACO agrees to require all participating Providers of its
network to assist in the orderly transfer of enrollees to another Provider.
F. Arbitration
To the extent that arbitration or alternative dispute resolution is authorized elsewhere in
this Agreement, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the Commissioner of
Health is not bound by arbitration or mediation decisions. Arbitration or mediation shall
occur within New York State, and the Commissioner of Health will be given notice of all
issues going to arbitration or mediation and copies of all decisions.
G. IPA/ACO-Specific Provisions
Any reference to IPA/ACO Quality Assurance (QA) activities within this Agreement is
limited to the IPA/ACO's analysis of utilization patterns and quality of care on its own
behalf and as a service to its contractual Providers.

States mail, first class, or by overnight delivery service; (2) submit the additional information
electronically; (3) fax the additional information; or (4) hand deliver the additional information.
5. Penalties for Late Payment of Claims. If Health Plan fails to make a payment on a Clean Claim
within the required time frames, Health Plan will pay the following penalties:
a. Payment is made on or after the 1st day and before the 46th after the Health Plan is required
to make a determination and make payment of claim: Health Plan will pay the Provider
making the claim the contracted rate owed on the claim plus a penalty in the amount of the lesser
of: (1) 50 percent of the difference between the billed charges, as submitted on the claim, and the
contracted rate or (2) $100,000.
b. Payment is made on or after the 46th day and before the 91st days after the Health Plan is
required to make a determination and make payment of claim: Health Plan will pay the
Provider making the claim the contracted rate owed on the claim plus a penalty in the amount of
the lesser of: (1) 100 percent of the difference between the billed charges, as submitted on the
claim, and the contracted rate or (2) $200,000.
c.
Payment is made on or after the 91st day after the Health Plan is required to make a
determination and make payment of claim: Health Plan will pay a penalty in the amount of the
lesser of: (1) 100 percent of the difference between the billed charges, as submitted on the claim,
and the contracted rate or (2) $200,000, plus 18 percent annual interest on that amount. Interest
accrues beginning on the date the Health Plan was required to pay the claim and ending on the
date the claim and the penalty are paid in full.
If Health Plan pays only a portion of the amount of a Clean Claim within the required time frames,
Health Plan will pay the following penalties:
a.
Payment is made on or after the 1st say and before the 46th after the Health Plan is required
to make a determination and make payment of claim: Health Plan will pay the Provider
making the claim the remainder of the contracted rate owed on the claim plus a penalty on the
amount not timely paid in the amount of the lesser of: (1) 50 percent of the difference between the
billed charges, as submitted on the claim, and the contracted rate or (2) $100,000. The underpaid
amount is calculated on the ratio of the amount underpaid on the contracted rate to the contracted
rate as applied to an amount equal to the billed charges as submitted on the claim minus the
contracted rate.
b. Payment is made on or after the 46th day and before the 91st days after the Health Plan is
required to make a determination and make payment of claim: Health Plan will pay the
Provider making the claim the remainder of the contracted rate owed on the claim plus a penalty
on the amount not timely paid in the amount of the lesser of: (1) 100 percent of the difference
between the billed charges, as submitted on the claim, and the contracted rate or (2) $200,000.
c. Payment is made on or after the 91st day after the Health Plan is required to make a
determination and make payment of claim: Health Plan will pay a penalty on the balance of
the claim computed in the amount of the lesser of: (1) 100 percent of the underpaid amount or (2)
$200,000, plus 18 percent annual interest on that amount. Interest accrues beginning on the date
Molina Healthcare of Texas, Inc.
Page 7 of 9
Molina Health Benefit Exchange Product
Amendment to Provider Services Agreement
MHT_HIX_PSA_Amend_Sig_v.031913
Start of Page No. = 8
the Health Plan was required to pay the claim and ending on the date the claim and the penalty
are paid in full.
For a penalty relating to a Clean Claim submitted by a Provider other than an institutional provider,
the Health Plan will pay the entire penalty to the Provider. However, any interest paid for a Clean
Claim that is payable and that the Health Plan does not pay on or after the 91st day after the date the
Health Plan is required to make a determination or adjudication of the claim will be paid to the Texas
Health Insurance Risk Pool. For a penalty relating to a Clean Claim submitted by an institutional
provider, the Health Plan will pay 50 percent of the total penalty amount, including interest, to the
institutional provider and the remaining 50 percent of that amount to the Texas Health Insurance Risk
Pool. For purposes of assessing penalties, "Institutional provider" means a hospital or other medical
or health-related service facility that provides care for the sick or injured or other care that may be
covered in an evidence of coverage.
Notwithstanding the above, Health Plan is not liable for a penalty if 1) the failure to pay the claim is a
result of a catastrophic event that substantially interferes with the normal business operations of the
Health Plan or (2) if the claim was paid in accordance with the Texas Insurance Code, but for less
than the contracted rate, and: the Provider notifies the Health Plan of the underpayment after the
270th day after the date the underpayment was received and the Health Plan pays the balance of the
claim on or before the 30th day after the date the Health Plan received the notice.
6.
Coordination of Benefits. Provider is required to maintain updated information concerning other
health benefit plan coverage for a Member and to provide the information to the Health Plan. If
Provider submits claims for particular health care services to more than one Health Plan, Provider
will provide written notice on the claim submitted to each Health Plan of the identity of each other
Health Plan with which the same claim is being filed.
If Health Plan is secondary payer and pays a portion of a claim that should have been paid by the
Health Plan, HMO or insurer that is the primary payer, Health Plan may recover payment from the
Health Plan, HMO or insurer that is primarily responsible for that amount. If Health Plan is secondary
payer and overpaid a portion of the claim in which the primary Health Plan, HMO or insurer also
overpaid, the secondary Health Plan may recover the amount of the overpayment from Provider
7. Offset. Health Plan may recover an overpayment to Provider if Health Plan provides written notice
of the overpayment to the Provider that includes the basis and specific reasons for the request for
recovery of funds not later than the 180th day after the date the Provider receives the payment, and the
Provider does not make arrangements for repayment of the funds on or before the 45th day after the
date the physician or provider receives the notice. The Provider may choose to appeal the request if
the Provider disagrees with the request for recovery.
8.
Arbitration. Any claim or controversy arising out of or in connection with this Agreement will be
resolved, to the extent possible, within forty-five (45) days through informal meetings and
discussions between appropriate representatives of the parties. Any remaining claim or controversy
will be resolved through binding arbitration conducted by a single arbitrator in accordance with the
American Arbitration Association (AAA) Commercial Arbitration Rules, then in effect, in San
Antonio, Texas; provided, however, matters that primarily involve Provider's professional
competence or conduct will not be eligible for arbitration. If possible, the arbitrator will be an
attorney with at least fifteen (15) years' experience, including at least five (5) years' experience in
managed health care. The parties will conduct a mandatory settlement conference at the initiation of
arbitration, to be administered by AAA. The arbitrator will have no authority to award damages or
provide a remedy that would not be available to such prevailing party in a court of law or award
Molina Healthcare of Texas, Inc.
Page 8 of 9
Molina Health Benefit Exchange Product
Amendment to Provider Services Agreement
MHT_HIX_PSA_Amend_Sig_v.031913
Start of Page No. = 9
punitive damages. Each party will bear its own costs and expenses, including its own attorneys' fees,
and will bear an equal share of the arbitrator's and administrative fees. For actions pertaining to
recover payment pursuant to Texas Insurance Code Chapter 843, Subchapter J, each party will have
the opportunity to recover reasonable attorney's fees and court costs from arbitrator. The parties
agree to accept any decision by the arbitrator as a final determination of the matter in dispute, and
judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
Arbitration must be initiated within (1) one year of the earlier of the date the claim or controversy
arose, was discovered, or should have been discovered with reasonable diligence; otherwise it will be
deemed waived. The use of binding arbitration will not preclude a request for equitable and
injunctive relief made to a court of appropriate jurisdiction.
9. Member Hold Harmless. Provider hereby agrees that in no event, including, but not limited
to non-payment by the Health Plan, Health Plan insolvency, or breach of this agreement, will
Provider bill, charge, collect a deposit from, seek compensation, remuneration, or
reimbursement from, or have any recourse against subscriber, enrollee, or persons other than
Health Plan acting on their behalf for services provided pursuant to this agreement. This
provision will not prohibit collection of supplemental charges or copayments made in
accordance with the terms of the Agreement between Health Plan and Member. Provider
further agrees that:
(i) this provision will survive the termination of this agreement regardless of the cause giving rise to
termination and will be construed to be for the benefit of the Health Plan Member; and
(ii) this provision supersedes any oral or written contrary agreement now existing or hereafter entered
into between Provider and Member, or persons acting on their behalf. Any modification, addition,
or deletion to the provisions of this clause will be effective on a date no earlier than 15 days after
the commissioner has received written notice of such proposed changes.
10. Deductibles and Copayments. Provider may bill a Member for any co-payment, deductible or co-
insurance obligation applicable to Member's Health Plan product. Provider may not waive a
deductible or copayment by the acceptance of an assignment.

when both the effective date and registration conditions are met. Claims for dates of service prior to the
AHCCCS determined effective date and/or prior to successful completion of the registration process shall be
processed under the prior Fee-For-Service methodology and not the PPS methodology.

the lesser of the unique FQHC PPS rate established by AHCCCS for PROVIDER for applicable Covered
Health Care Services provided by PROVIDER to Plan Members or PROVIDER's charges, less any
applicable Co-Payments, Deductibles and Coinsurance. The FQHC PPS rate is an all inclusive visit rate that
shall be paid per visit and shall serve as the full reimbursement for the visit and other related services. At no
time shall Plan pay an amount that exceeds PROVIDER's billed charges. Covered Health Care Services not
qualifying for payment under the FQHC PPS rate shall be reimbursed according to the Fee-For-Service
Payment section below.
Fee-For-Service Payment. Payment for Covered Health Care Services provided by PROVIDER to Plan
Members that do not qualify for FQHC/RHC Payment shall be based on the lesser of the Plan's Fee Schedule
defined in the table below or PROVIDER's charges, less any applicable Co-Payments, Deductibles and
Coinsurance. Services with no rates shall be reimbursed according to Plan's criteria until rates are
established. At no time shall Plan pay an amount that exceeds PROVIDER's billed charges.
