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. 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.Y6.7 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.Clean Claim means a Claim for Covered Services submitted on an industry standard form, which has no defect, impropriety, lack of required substantiating documentation, or particular circumstance requiring special treatment that prevents timely adjudication of the Claim.N6.1 Indemnification.

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.Provider will promptly deliver to Health Plan, upon request or as may be required by Law, Health Plan's policies and procedures, applicable Government Program Requirements, or third party payers, any information, statistical data, or Record pertaining to Members served by Provider.
