Cost Shares, if applicable;

If the total amount in dispute as set forth in the demand letter is two million dollars ($2,000,000) or more, exclusive of interest, costs, and attorneys’ fees, the dispute shall be decided by an arbitration panel consisting of three arbitrators, unless the parties agree in writing that the dispute shall be decided by a single arbitrator.

 

  7.2.2

Appeal. If the total amount of the arbitration award is five million dollars ($5,000,000) or more, inclusive of interest, costs, and attorneys’ fees, the parties shall have the right to appeal the decision of the arbitrator(s) pursuant to the JAMS Optional Arbitration Appeal Procedure. In reviewing a decision of the arbitrator(s), the appeal panel shall apply the same standard of review that a United States Court of Appeals would apply in reviewing a similar decision issued by a United States District Court in the jurisdiction in which the arbitration hearing was held.

 

  7.2.3

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

Provider’s termination shall take effect on the later of the amendment effective date identified by Anthem or one hundred eighty (180) days from the date Provider has provided notice of his/her/its intention to terminate pursuant to this section. Failure of Provider to provide such notice to Anthem within the time frames described herein will constitute acceptance of the amendment by Provider.

 

9.2

Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective legal successors and assignees of the parties. However, neither this Agreement, nor any rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned, either by operation of law or otherwise, transferred in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the other party, except that Anthem retains the right to assign, either by operation of law or otherwise, transfer in whole or in part, this Agreement to an Affiliate or to delegate any rights or obligations under this Agreement to a designee.

 

9.3

Scope/Change in Status.

  9.3.1.1

Provider sells all or substantially all of his/her/its assets; or

 

  9.3.1.2

Provider transfers control of his/her/its management or operations to any third party, including Provider entering into a management contract with a physician practice management company which does not manage Provider as of the Effective Date of this Agreement, or there is a subsequent change in control of Provider’s current management company; or

 

  9.3.1.3

Provider acquires or controls any other medical practice or entity or is in any manner otherwise acquired or controlled by any other party, whether by purchase, merger, consolidation, alliance, joint venture, partnership, association or expansion; or

Provider otherwise changes his/her/its locations, business or operations, or business or corporate form or status; or

 

  9.3.1.5

Provider creates or otherwise operates a licensed health maintenance organization or commercial health plan (whether such creation or operation is direct or through a Provider affiliate).

 

  9.3.2

Without limiting any of Anthem’s rights as set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, Anthem shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days written notice to Provider if Anthem determines, that as a result of any of the transactions listed in subsection 9.3.1, Provider cannot satisfactorily perform the obligations of Provider hereunder, or cannot comply with one or more of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including but not limited to the confidentiality provisions herein; or Anthem elects in its reasonable business discretion not to do business with Provider, the successor entity or new management company, as a result of one or more of the events as set forth in subsection 9.3.1.

 

  9.3.3

Provider shall provide Anthem with thirty (30) days prior written notice of:

 

  9.3.3.1

A change in providers who are part of the group, if applicable. Any new providers must meet Anthem’s credentialing standards or other applicable standards prior to being designated as a Network/Participating Provider; or

 

  9.3.3.2

Any new physical location, tax identification number, mailing address or similar demographic information; or

 

  9.3.3.3

A change in operations, business or corporate form as set forth in subsections 9.3.1.1 through 9.3.1.5 above.

 

9.4

Definitions. Unless otherwise specifically noted, the definitions as set forth in this Agreement will have the same meaning when used in any attachment, the provider manual(s) and Policies.

 

9.5

Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including items incorporated herein by reference) constitutes the entire understanding between the parties and supersedes all prior oral or written agreements between them with respect to the matters provided for herein. If there are any inconsistencies between this Agreement and the provider manual, this Agreement will take precedence.

 

9.6

Force Majeure. Neither party shall be deemed to be in violation of this Agreement if such party is prevented from performing any of his/her/its obligations hereunder for any reason beyond his/her/its reasonable control, including without limitation, acts of God, acts of any public enemy, floods, statutory or other laws, regulations, rules, or orders of the federal, state, or local government or any agency thereof.

 

9.7

Compliance with Federal and State Laws. Anthem and Provider agree to comply with all requirements of the law relating to their obligations under this Agreement, and maintain in effect all permits, licenses and governmental and board authorizations and approvals as necessary for business operations. Provider agrees that he/she/it shall be and remain licensed and certified (including Medicare certification in unqualified, unrestricted status) in accordance with all state and federal laws and regulations (including those applicable to utilization review and Claims payment) relating to the provision of provider services to Covered Individuals. Provider shall supply evidence of such licensure, compliance and certifications to Anthem upon request. Provider further agrees to immediately notify Anthem if he/she/it loses or voluntarily surrenders such licensure, accreditation, permits, authorizations or approvals, or when applicable no longer meets Anthem’s credentialing standards. From time to time legislative bodies, boards, departments or agencies may enact, issue or amend laws, rules, or regulations pertinent to this Agreement. Both parties agree to immediately abide by all said laws, rules, or regulations to the extent applicable, and to cooperate with the other to carry out any responsibilities placed upon the other by said laws, rules, or regulations, subject to the other’s right to terminate as set forth under this Agreement. In the event of a conflict between this section and any other provision in this Agreement, this section shall control.

  9.7.1

In addition to the foregoing, Provider warrants and represents that at the time of entering into this Agreement, neither he/she/it nor any of his/her/its employees, contractors, subcontractors or agents are ineligible persons identified on the General Services Administrations’ List of Parties Excluded from Federal Programs (available through the internet at http://www.epls.gov/ or its successor) and the HHS/OIG List of Excluded Individuals/Entities (available through the internet at http://www.oig.hhs.gov/fraud/exclusions.asp or its successor), or as otherwise designated by the Federal government. If Provider or any employees, subcontractors or agents thereof becomes an ineligible person after entering into this Agreement or otherwise fails to disclose his/her/its ineligible person status, Provider shall have an obligation to (1) immediately notify Anthem of such ineligible person status and (2) within ten (10) days of such notice, remove such individual from responsibility for, or involvement with, the Provider’s business operations related to this Agreement.

 

9.8

Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state where the services and/or supplies were provided, unless such state laws are otherwise preempted by federal law. In the event issues arise concerning services and/or supplies provided in multiple states and involve common issues of interpretation of this Agreement, this Agreement shall be interpreted pursuant to the laws of Indiana. Coverage issues specific to a Health Benefit Plan are governed by the state laws where the Health Benefit Plan is issued, unless such state laws are otherwise preempted by federal law.

 

9.9

Intent of the Parties. It is the intent of the parties that this Agreement is to be effective only in regards to their rights and obligations with respect to each other; it is expressly not the intent of the parties to create any independent rights in any third party or to make any third party a third party beneficiary of this Agreement, except to the extent Anthem utilizes a designee, which in such event shall give rights only within the scope of such designation, and to the extent specified in the Payment in Full and Hold Harmless section of this Agreement.

 

9.10

Non-Exclusive Participation. None of the provisions of this Agreement shall prevent Provider or Plan from participating in or contracting with any provider, preferred provider organization, health maintenance organization/health insuring corporation, or any other health delivery or insurance program. Provider acknowledges that Plan does not warrant or guarantee that Provider will be utilized by any particular number of Covered Individuals.

 

9.11

Notice. Any notice required to be given pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered by electronic mail, by facsimile, by hand, or by mail. Unless specified otherwise in writing by a party, Anthem shall send Provider notice to an address that Anthem has on file for Provider, and notice initiated by Provider shall be sent to Anthem’s address as set forth on the signature page. Notice shall be effective upon the marked date associated with the corresponding delivery method noted above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Anthem may post updates to its provider manual(s) and Policies on its web site.

 

9.12

Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, the remaining provisions shall be construed liberally in order to effectuate the purposes hereof, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. If one or more provisions of the Agreement are invalid, illegal or unenforceable and an amendment to the Agreement is necessary to maintain its integrity, the parties shall make commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate an amendment to this Agreement and any attachments or addenda to this Agreement which could reasonably be construed not to contravene such statute, regulation, or interpretation. In addition, if such invalid, unenforceable or materially affected provision(s) may be severed from this Agreement and/or attachments or addenda to this Agreement without materially affecting the parties’ intent when this Agreement was executed, then such provision(s) shall be severed rather than terminating the Agreement or any attachments or addenda to this Agreement.

 

9.13

Waiver. Neither the waiver by either of the parties of a breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement, nor the failure of either of the parties, on one or more occasion, to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement, shall thereafter be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

 

9.14

Abandonment. Nothing herein shall be construed as authorizing or permitting Provider to abandon any patient.

 

9.15

Exchanges. Unless specifically noted in the PCS or otherwise designated by Anthem, the Anthem Rate shall not apply to state-based or regional health insurance exchanges (“Exchanges”) established by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
