Agreement; (ii) follow Health Plan's policies; (iii) determine eligibility; or (iv) obtain an authorization
required by this Agreement, to determine if the services rendered were Covered Services and were Medically
Necessary. If in its evaluation of Provider's reconsideration request, Health Plan reasonably determines that
the services provided by Provider, including but not limited to outpatient diagnostic imaging services, were
Covered Services, were Medically Necessary and appropriate for the Member's condition, then Health Plan
shall reverse its denial and reimburse Provider in accordance with Attachment B within ten (10) days of such
determination. If, in its evaluation of Provider's appeal, Plan reasonably determines that the services in
question were not Covered Services, and/or were not Medically Necessary and appropriate for the Member's
condition, and or would not have been paid even had Provider not failed to comply with Health Plan's
policies, then Health Plan may uphold its denial, subject to Provider's right to pursue whatever additional
remedies may be available to it.
4.2
Compensation. Health Plan will pay Provider for Clean Claims for Covered Services, that are determined to be
payable, in accordance with Laws, applicable Government Program Requirements, and this Agreement. Health
Plan will make such payment within forty-five (45) days, unless otherwise required by Laws or applicable
Government Program Requirements. Provider agrees to accept such payment, applicable co-payments,
MHTHSA050416
Page 10 of 30

Start of Page No. = 11
deductibles, and coordination of benefits collections as payment in full for Covered Services. Provider's failure to
comply with the terms of this Agreement may result in non-payment to Provider. Such payment to Provider shall
be in accordance with Attachment B.
4.3
Co-payments and Deductibles. Provider is responsible for collection of co-payments, co-insurances, and
deductibles, if any.
4.4
Member Hold Harmless. Provider agrees that in no event, including, but not limited to, non-payment,
insolvency, or breach of this Agreement by Health Plan, will Provider bill, charge, collect a deposit from, seek
remuneration or reimbursement from, or have any recourse against a Member, or person acting on Member's
behalf, for Covered Services provided pursuant to this Agreement. This does not prohibit Provider from collecting
co-insurance, deductibles, or co-payments as specifically provided in the Member's evidence of coverage, or fees
for non-covered health care services provided to Member. This section will survive any termination, regardless of
the reason for the termination, including insolvency of Health Plan.
4.5
Coordination of Benefits. Health Plan is a secondary payer where another payer is primary payer. Provider will
make reasonable inquiry of Members to learn if Member has health insurance or health benefits other than from
Health Plan, or is entitled to payment by a third party under any other insurance or plan of any type. Provider will
promptly notify Health Plan of said entitlement. In the event a coordination of benefits occurs, Provider will be
compensated in an amount equal to the allowable Clean Claim less the amount paid by other health plans,
insurance carriers, and payers, not to exceed the amount specified in the Compensation Schedule of this
Agreement.
4.6
Offset Health Plan agrees that recovery of overpayments shall not be taken from future payments unless agreed
by both parties but shall be billed to Provider with appropriate documentation to substantiate such request for
recovery of overpayment. Provider shall have no obligation to refund overpayments after 365 calendar days from
the date the initial claim was paid.
4.7
Claim Review. Provider acknowledges Health Plan's right to review Provider's claims prior to payment for
appropriateness in accordance with industry standard billing rules, including, but not limited to, current UB
manual and editor, current CPT and HCPCS coding, CMS billing rules, CMS bundling/unbundling rules, National
Correct Coding Initiatives (NCC!) Edits, CMS multiple procedure billing rules, and FDA definitions and
determinations of designated implantable devices and/or implantable orthopedic devices.
4.8
Claim Auditing. Provider acknowledges Health Plan's right to conduct post-payment billing audits subject to the
terms of this Agreement. Provider will cooperate with Health Plan's audits of claims and payments by providing
access at reasonable times to requested claims information, all supporting medical records, Provider's charging
policies, and other related data. Health Plan will use established industry claims adjudication and clinical
practices, state and federal guidelines, and Health Plan's policies and data to determine the appropriateness of the
billing, coding, and payment. This section will survive any termination.
4.9
Authorized Services. Health Plan shall provide Provider with a list of services to be authorized, and will provide
updates to the list when changes are made. Once given by Health Plan, authorization for Provider to provide a
Covered Service may not be retracted or rescinded, nor payment subsequently denied or reduced, unless (1) the
authorization was based upon a material misrepresentation or omission about the Member's health condition by
Provider, or (2) the Member's eligibility has terminated before the services were provided by Provider. Health
Plan is responsible for the authorization of medical services provided to Members. If Provider has obtained
concurrent or prior authorization for a Covered Service provided to a Member, Health Plan will not
retrospectively deny payment for such authorized Covered Service, unless Provider's claim and/or medical record
for such services do not support the specific services and/or level of care authorized by Health Plan or in the case
of fraud or misrepresentation. Health Plan shall conduct medical management throughout the course of treatment.
Provider acknowledges that initial and subsequent authorizations shall be obtained as necessary.
4.10
Network Configuration. Health Plan and Provider acknowledge that the compensation rates applicable to the
Dummy Marketplace Network set forth in Attachment B represent a material discount from typical commercial
rates (the "Marketplace Discount"), are based upon the current Molina Marketplace Network of participating
providers designated in sub-paragraph (a) below, and are provided in exchange for Health Plan's commitment to
encourage Members to use Provider, when appropriate, through a variety of means, including referrals, benefit
designs and medical management processes.

4.11
Health Plan and Provider agree that Provider shall be a Participating Provider in Health Plan's Company
Marketplace Network. The parties further acknowledge and agree that Health Plan, in its discretion, may modify
the Company Marketplace Network within the Service Area during the term of this Agreement, subject to the
following terms:
a.
Health Plan represents that the acute care hospitals in its Company Marketplace Network
of
participating
providers, or which it intends to include in its Company Marketplace Network of participating providers
("|Company Marketplace Network") within the Service Area will be acute care hospitals owned by Provider and
other independently owned acute care hospitals as follows:
Dummy Hospital 1
Dummy Hospital 2
Dummy Hospital 3
Dummy Hospital 4
Dummy Hospital 5
Dummy Hospital 6
Dummy Hospital 7
Service Area means the following counties in Texas: Tarrant, Dallas, Denton, Johnson, Ellis and Collin.
b. Following the Effective Date should Health Plan elect to add another acute care hospital to the Company
Marketplace Network in the Service Area that is not affiliated with Provider, Health Plan agrees to provide
Provider with written notice at least one hundred and twenty (120) days prior to the effective date of the
addition. If Health Plan adds an additional acute care hospital, that is not affiliated with Provider, in the
Service Area as a participating provider in its Company Marketplace Network and Provider, in its sole
discretion, determines that such addition will materially reduce the volume of Company Marketplace Network
Members who use Provider and hence, will materially reduce the revenues to be derived from the Agreement,
then within forty-five (45) days following such addition to the Company Marketplace Network, Provider may
give notice to Health Plan that the Marketplace Discount set forth in Attachment B shall be eliminated and the
Alternate Compensation Schedule set forth in Attachment B-1 shall apply to the Company Marketplace
Network.
C.
If
a
new
acute
care
hospital
is added to the Company Marketplace Network in the Service Area pursuant
to
Paragraph 4.9(b) above without the required notice to Provider, upon notice from Provider to Health Plan,
Attachment B-1 shall be retroactively applied as of the date of the addition of the new acute care hospital to
the Company Marketplace Network.

ARTICLE SIX - GENERAL PROVISIONS
6.1
Indemnification. Each party agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the other party and its officers,
employees and agents from and against any and all third party liability, loss, claim, damage or expense incurred in
connection with and to the extent of (i) any representation and warranty made by the indemnifying party in this
Agreement, and (ii) claims for damages of any nature whatsoever, arising from either party's performance or
failure to perform its obligations hereunder, including but not limited to claims caused, asserted or commenced by
an individual or agency, arising from benefit coverage disputes or any violation or assertion of any violation of
any anti-trust law, regulation or guideline arising out of or in any way connected with indemnifying party's action
or failure to act.
The obligation to provide indemnification under this Agreement shall be contingent upon the party seeking
indemnification (i) providing the indemnifying party with prompt written notice of any claim for which
indemnification is sought, (ii) allowing the indemnifying party to assume and control the defense and settlement
of such claim, (iii) cooperating fully with the indemnifying party in connection with such defense and settlement
MHTHSA050416
Page 13 of 30

Start of Page No. = 14
and (iv) not causing or contributing to any occurrence, nor taking any action, or failing to take any action, which
causes, contributes to or increases the indemnifying party's liability hereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing subsection (a) this Section shall be null and void to the extent that it is interpreted
to reduce insurance coverage to which either party is otherwise entitled, by way of any exclusion for contractually
assumed liability or otherwise.
Any action by either party must be brought within one year after the cause of action arose.
Regardless of whether there is a total and fundamental breach of this Agreement or whether any remedy provided
in this Agreement fails of its essential purpose, in no event shall either of the parties hereto be liable for any
amounts representing incidental, indirect, consequential, special or punitive damages, whether arising in contract,
tort (including negligence), or otherwise regardless of whether the parties have been advised of the possibility of
such damages, arising in any way out of or relating to this Agreement.
6.2
Relationship of the Parties. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to create, nor will it be construed to
create, any relationship between the Parties other than that of independent parties contracting with each other
solely for the purpose of effectuating this Agreement. This Agreement is not intended to create a relationship of
agency, representation, joint venture, or employment between the Parties. Nothing herein contained will prevent
the Parties from entering into similar arrangements with other parties. Each Party will maintain separate and
independent management and will be responsible for its own operations. Nothing contained in this Agreement is
intended to create, nor will be construed to create, any right in any third party to enforce this Agreement.
References to the rights, responsibilities and obligations of Provider in the Agreement mean individually each of
the entities identified in Attachment E. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all such rights,
responsibilities and obligations are individual and specific to such facilities and the reference to Provider herein in
no way imposes any cross-guarantees or joint responsibility by, between or among such individual Providers.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a breach or default by an individual Provider shall not constitute
a breach or default by any other Provider. The Parties further agree that the responsibilities and obligations of
Provider hereunder shall be the sole responsibility of such individual Provider and not that of the Disclosed
Agent, executing this Agreement on behalf of Provider or any other individual Provider or other affiliate of
Provider.
6.3
Governing Law. The laws of the State of Texas will govern this Agreement.
6.4
Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including attachments, addenda, amendments, Supplemental Materials, and
incorporated documents or materials, contains the entire agreement between the Parties relating to the rights
granted and obligations imposed by this Agreement. Any prior agreements, promises, negotiations, or
representations, either oral or written, between the Parties and relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, are
of no force or effect.
6.5
Severability. If a term, provision, covenant, or condition of this Agreement is held by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect and
will in no way be affected, impaired, or invalidated as a result of such decision.
6.6
Headings and Construction. The headings in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and are not
considered a part of this Agreement in construing or interpreting its provisions. It is the Parties' desire that if a
provision of this Agreement is determined to be ambiguous, then the rule of construction that such provision is
construed against its drafter will not apply to the interpretation of the ambiguous provision. The following rules of
construction apply to this Agreement: (i) the word "day" means calendar day unless otherwise specified; (ii) the
term "business day" means Monday through Friday, except federal holidays; (iii) all words used in this
Agreement will be construed to be of such gender or number as circumstances require; (iv) references to specific
statutes, regulations, rules or forms, such as CMS-1500, include subsequent amendments or successors to them;
and (v) references to any government department or agency include any successor departments or agencies.
6.7
Non-exclusivity. This Agreement will not be construed to be an exclusive Agreement between the Parties. Nor
will it be deemed to be an Agreement requiring Health Plan to refer Members to Provider.
6.8
Amendments.
a.
Regulatory Amendments.
MHTHSA050416
Page 14 of 30

Start of Page No. = 15
This Agreement may be unilaterally amended by Health Plan upon written notice to Provider only in order to
comply with applicable regulatory requirements. Health Plan will provide at least 30 days written notice of
any such regulatory amendment, unless a shorter notice is necessary through no fault of either party in order
to accomplish regulatory compliance only. Upon request by Provider, Health Plan will consult with Provider
regarding the regulatory basis for any regulatory amendment to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the above,
Provider shall not be required to comply with any provision in a Regulatory Amendment that is not
mandatory under state or federal law regardless of any non-mandatory provisions set forth in any Regulatory
Amendment. As used in this provision, "mandatory" means that the state or federal law provision cannot be
waived or altered by contract.
b.
Non-Regulatory Amendments. Notwithstanding the Regulatory Amendments section, all amendments must
be in writing and mutually agreed to by both Parties.
6.9
Delegation or Subcontract. Upon the Effective Date, Provider will submit to Health Plan a list identifying each
of Provider's Subcontractors and a description of the Covered Services or administrative services that the
Subcontractor provides. After the Effective Date, Provider will not subcontract with a Subcontractor without the
prior written consent of Health Plan. Such arrangement with a Subcontractor will be in writing and will bind
Subcontractor to the terms required by Health Plan.
6.10
Assignment. Neither party may assign or transfer, in whole or in part, any rights, duties, or obligations under this
Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement is
binding upon, and inures to the benefit of, the Parties and respective successors in interest and assignees.
6.11
Dispute Resolution.
a.
Meet and Confer. Any claim or controversy arising out of or in connection with this Agreement will first be
resolved, to the extent possible, via "Meet and Confer". The Meet and Confer will begin when one Party
delivers notice to the other that it intends to arbitrate a dispute and the basis for its belief that it will prevail in
arbitration. After providing notice of the intent to arbitrate, the Meet and Confer will be held as an informal
face-to-face meeting held in good faith between appropriate representatives of the Parties and at least one (1)
person authorized to settle outstanding claims and pending arbitration matters. The Parties will commence the
face-to-face portion of the Meet and Confer within forty-five (45) days of receiving notice of an intent to
arbitrate or service of an arbitration demand. Such face-to-face Meet and Confer discussion will occur at a
time and location agreed to by the Parties (within the forty-five (45) days) and if both Parties agree that more
face-to-face discussions would be beneficial, the Parties can agree to have more than one (1) in person
settlement discussion or a combination of in person, phone meetings and exchange of correspondence.
b. Binding Arbitration. The Parties agree that any dispute not resolved via Meet and Confer will be settled in
binding arbitration administered by Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services ("JAMS"), or if mutually
agreed upon, pursuant to another agreed upon Alternative Dispute Resolution ("ADR") provider in
accordance with that ADR provider's Commercial Arbitration Rules, in Dallas, Texas. However, matters that
primarily involve Provider's professional competence or conduct i.e., malpractice, professional negligence, or
wrongful death will not be eligible for arbitration. Either party may initiate arbitration proceedings if the Meet
and Confer discussions do not resolve a dispute within sixty (60) days of the notice of intent to arbitrate.
Any arbitration in which the total amount disputed by one Party is equal to or exceeds one million dollars
($1,000,000.00) will be resolved by a panel of three (3) arbitrators. In the event a panel of three (3) arbitrators
will be used, the claimant will select one (1) arbitrator; the respondent will select one (1) arbitrator; and the
two (2) arbitrators selected by the claimant and respondent will select the third arbitrator whose determination
will be final and binding on the Parties. If possible, each arbitrator will be an attorney with at least fifteen (15)
years of experience, including at least five (5) years of experience in managed health care.
Any arbitration in which the total amount disputed by one Party is equal to or exceeds five hundred thousand
dollars ($500,000.00), but less than one million dollars ($1,000,000.00), the claimant and respondent will
each select a single arbitrator and the two (2) arbitrators selected by the claimant and respondent will select a
single arbitrator who will be responsible for the arbitration proceedings ("Selected Arbitrator"). Each Party
can strike no more than one (1) Selected Arbitrator. The Selected Arbitrator will be an attorney with at least
fifteen (15) years of experience, including at least five (5) years of experience in managed health care.
MHTHSA050416
Page 15 of 30

Start of Page No. = 16
Any arbitration in which the total amount disputed by one Party is less than five hundred thousand dollars
($500,000.00) will be resolved by a single arbitrator. In the event a single arbitrator is used, the arbitrator will
be an attorney with at least fifteen (15) years of experience, including at least five (5) years of experience in
managed health care.
The arbitrator will apply Texas substantive law and Federal substantive law where State law is preempted.
Civil discovery for use in such arbitration may be conducted in accordance with federal rules of civil
procedure and federal evidence code, except where the Parties agree otherwise. The arbitrator selected will
have the power to enforce the rights, remedies, duties, liabilities, and obligations of discovery by the
imposition of the same terms, conditions, and penalties as can be imposed in like circumstances in a civil
action by a court in the same jurisdiction. The provisions of federal rules of civil procedure concerning the
right to discovery and the use of depositions in arbitration are incorporated herein by reference and made
applicable to this Agreement. However, in any arbitration in which the total amount disputed by one Party is
less than one million dollars ($1,000,000.00) the Parties agree that each Party will have the right to take no
more than three (3) depositions of individuals or entities, excluding deposition of expert witnesses, and the
Parties agree to exchange copies of all exhibits and demonstrative evidence to be used at the arbitration prior
to the arbitration as deemed appropriate by the arbitrator. The Parties agree that in any arbitration in which the
total amount disputed by one Party is less than five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000.00) each Party will
have the right to take no more than one (1) deposition of individuals or entities and one (1) expert witness,
and the Parties agree to exchange copies of all exhibits and demonstrative evidence to be used at the
arbitration prior to the arbitration as deemed appropriate by the arbitrator. Regardless of the amount in
dispute, rebuttal and impeachment evidence need not be exchanged until presented at the arbitration hearing.
The arbitrator will have no authority to give a remedy or award damages that would not be available to such
prevailing Party in a court of law, nor will the arbitrator have the authority to award punitive damages. The
arbitrator will deliver a written reasoned decision within thirty (30) days of the close of arbitration, unless an
alternate agreement is made during the arbitration. The Parties agree to accept any decision by the arbitrator,
which is grounded in applicable law, 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. The award may be reviewed,
vacated, or modified pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA"), 9 USC sections 9-11.
Each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses, including its own attorneys' fees, and shall bear an equal
share of the arbitrator'(s) and administrative fees of arbitration. The parties agree that one or the other may
request a court reporter transcribe the entire proceeding, in which case the parties will split the cost of the
court reporter, but each may elect to purchase or forego purchasing a transcript.
Arbitration must be initiated within one (1) 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.
6.12

6.13
Waiver. A failure or delay of a Party to exercise or enforce any provision of this Agreement will not be deemed a
waiver of any right of that Party. Any waiver must be specific, in writing, and executed by the Parties.
6.14
Execution in Counterparts and Duplicates. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which
will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. The Parties
agree facsimile signatures, pdf signatures, photocopied signatures, or signatures scanned and sent via e-mail will
have the same effect as original signatures.
6.15
Conflict with Health Plan Product. Nothing in this Agreement modifies any benefits, terms, or conditions
contained in the Member's Product. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and any benefits, terms, or
conditions of a Product, the benefits, terms, and conditions contained in the Member's Product will govern.
6.16
Force Majeure. Neither Party will be liable or deemed to be in default for any delay or failure to perform any act
under this Agreement resulting directly or indirectly, from acts of God, civil or military authority, acts of a public
enemy, war, accident, fire, explosion, earthquake, flood, strikes by either Party's employees, or any other similar
cause beyond the reasonable control of such Party.
6.17
Confidentiality. Any information disclosed by either Party in fulfillment of its obligations under this Agreement,
including, but not limited to, health care information, compensation rates, and the terms of the Agreement, will be
kept confidential. Information provided to the other party, including, but not limited to, Member lists, QI
Program, credentialing criteria, compensation rates, and any other administrative protocols or procedures of
Health Plan, is the proprietary property of disclosing party and will be kept confidential. Neither party will
disclose or release such material to a third party without the written consent of the other party. This section will
survive any termination.
6.18
New Affiliates.
a. New Provider Affiliates.
(i) Health Plan and Provider agree that this Agreement applies to Covered Services rendered at the locations
set forth on Attachment E. In the event Provider or Provider Affiliate (as defined below) organizes or
acquires a new affiliate (either by stock purchase, merger, consolidation, asset purchase or otherwise)
within 100 miles of Collin, Dallas, Denton, Ellis, Johnson and Tarrant counties (the "Service Area") that
offers Covered Services ("New Provider Affiliate") (such organization or acquisition of New Provider
Affiliate described herein shall be considered a "Provider Change Event"), such New Provider Affiliate
shall be added to the Agreement (either through an amendment to the Agreement or by updating the
Provider Location/Networks Attachment, as applicable and as determined by the parties) and considered a
Provider hereunder subject to the terms of this Section 6.18(a), and shall become subject to this
Agreement on the first (1st) day following the Transition Period, as defined below. For the purposes of
this Section 6.18 only, "Provider Affiliate" shall mean any acute care hospital or ambulatory surgery
center directly or indirectly owned or controlled by, or which owns or controls, or which is under
common ownership or control with Provider and which is directly involved in the delivery of health care
services to patients pursuant to this Agreement.
(ii) The parties agree that in the event the New Provider Affiliate is a Participating Provider with Health Plan
pursuant to an existing provider agreement (the "Existing Provider Affiliate Agreement"), Health Plan
and New Provider Affiliate shall continue to be subject to the terms of the Existing Provider Affiliate
Agreement, including reimbursement terms, during the applicable Transition Period (as defined below).
The Parties agree to execute an amendment to add the New Provider Affiliate under this Agreement or
update Attachment E, as applicable and as determined by the Parties, effective as of the first day
following the Transition Period and the New Provider Affiliate shall be reimbursed for services in
accordance with the reimbursement rates set forth in Attachment B and the Existing Provider Affiliate
Agreement shall be deemed to have terminated at that time.
If the New Provider Affiliate was under contract directly with Health Plan or one of Health Plan 's
Affiliates to participate in a network of health care providers immediately preceding the Provider Change
Event, and the New Provider Affiliate does not assume the contract with Health Plan held by the prior
facility operator, or if the New Provider Affiliate is not contracted with Health Plan at the time of
acquisition, the New Provider Affiliate will participate in Health Plan 's network under the terms of this
Agreement. The New Provider Affiliate will be added to this Agreement and the New Provider Affiliate
MHTHSA050416
Page 17 of 30

Start of Page No. = 18
shall be reimbursed for services in accordance with the then current reimbursement rates set forth in
Attachment B.
(iii) The "Transition Period" shall mean nine (9) months from the day upon which written notice is given by
Provider of the Provider Change Event to Health Plan in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.12.
(iv) If the New Provider Affiliate is not contracted with Health Plan at the time of acquisition, Health Plan and
Provider agree that it is the intent of the parties that all such entities be included in Health Plan's
Networks and as a Provider under this Agreement as of the date the New Provider Affiliate is approved
for participation via Health Plan's credentialing process.
(v) Subject to any applicable confidentiality or non-disclosure restrictions relative to same, Provider shall
exert commercially reasonable efforts to give not less than sixty (60) days' prior written notice to Health
Plan of any Provider Change Event, including the expected effective date of such Provider Change Event,
with respect to any such New Provider Affiliate.
(vi) In the event a Provider is no longer a Provider Affiliate or a facility operated by a Provider Affiliate, this
Agreement shall no longer be applicable to such divested Provider as of the effective date of such
divestiture, unless a longer period is mutually agreed between the divesting Provider and Health Plan. The
failure to give notice under this Section shall not give rise to any claim for injunctive relief related to the
divesture or to damages.
The terms of this Section 6.18(a) shall control over any similar provision of an Existing Provider Affiliate
Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Parties agree that section 6.18 shall only apply to
New Provider Affiliates physically located in the State of Texas.
b. New Health Plan Affiliates.
(i) Health Plan may extend access to this Agreement and the rates herein to any corporation, partnership or
other legal entity directly or indirectly owned or controlled by, or which owns or controls, or which is
under common ownership or control with Health Plan ("Health Plan Affiliate") that becomes affiliated
with Health Plan on or after the Effective Date of this Agreement that offers Products, subject to the terms
of this provision 6.18(b).
In the event, after the Effective Date of this Agreement, (A) Health Plan organizes or acquires a new
Health Plan Affiliate that offers or administers health benefit products in the Service Area (a "Health Plan
Change Event" and each such new Health Plan Affiliate a "New Health Plan Affiliate"), and (B) such
health benefit products otherwise qualify as a Product, such New Health Plan Affiliate shall become
subject to this Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Section 6.18(b) on the first day following
the Transition Period (as defined below) which shall begin on the date upon which written notice is
provided to Provider in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.12, at the reimbursement rates set

PLUS Capital IME, PLUS VBP, and PLUS Readmission Factor. Plan agrees that use of the penalty associated with

1, 2013 implementation by the Office of Management and Budget of the two percent sequestration to original Medicare
claims, or any subsequent continuation or adjustment to sequestration, or any other reduction to original Medicare

discounted so that no higher payment shall be paid by Molina than it would have paid had such percentage increase in
rates above the maximum level set out herein not been implemented. All adjusted rates will be rounded. (For example,
if ChargeMaster increase is 12% and existing rate is 50%: (1.08/1.12)*.50=.4821 New rate would equal 48%)
