The Contractor or Subcontracted Provider may retain any third party revenue obtained for enrolled persons if all of the following conditions exist: a. Total collections received do not exceed the total amount of the Provider's financial liability for the enrolled person. b. There are no payments made by AHCCCS or ADHS related to fee-for-service, reinsurance or administrative costs (i.e. lien filing, etc.). c. Such recovery is not prohibited by state or federal law. The Contractor and its Subcontracted Providers agree to obtain or cause to be obtained, all relevant payer information, including Medicare and other third party liability coverage, from each potential eligible and enrolled person and his or her guardian and/or family in connection with the establishment of that person's eligibility for Covered Services. The Contractor shall make such information available to each case manager and Subcontracted Provider involved with that person. In the event that the Contractor or Subcontracted Provider becomes aware that there is an available other payer resource for a Title XIX or Title XXI enrolled person, the Contractor or Subcontracted Provider shall notify the RBHA in accordance with RBHA policy. In the event that the Contractor or Subcontracted Provider assesses a co-payment in accordance with the RBHA and ADHS policies and procedures, the Contractor or Subcontracted Provider shall be allowed to retain the co-payment collected for individuals who are Title XIX or Title XXI eligible and are making a co-payment for Non-Title XIX/TXXI covered services. Contractor shall require each of its Subcontracted Providers to bill Medicare and all other Third Party Payers for Covered Services. Prior to submitting claims and/or encounters to the RBHA, the Contractor shall bill claims for Covered Services to any primary payer, including Medicare, when information regarding such primary payer is available, or at the request of the RBHA or ADHS.

Title XIX and Title XXI Enrolled Persons: Title XIX and Title XXI funding shall be used as a source of payment for Covered Services only after all other sources of payment have been exhausted. The two methods used in the coordination of benefits are cost avoidance and post-payment recovery. 20. Cost Avoidance: The Contractor shall cost avoid all claims for services that are subject to third-party payment and may deny a service to an enrolled person if it knows that a third party (i.e. other insurer) shall provide the service. However, if a third-party insurer (other than Medicare) requires the enrolled person to pay any co-payment, coinsurance or deductible, the Contractor is responsible for making these payments, even if the services are provided outside of the Contractor's network. The Contractor's liability for coinsurance and deductibles is limited to what the Contractor would have paid for the entire service pursuant to a written agreement with the Subcontracted Provider or the ADHS max cap rate, less any amount paid by the third party. The Contractor shall decide whether it is more cost-effective to provide the service within its network or pay coinsurance and deductibles for a service outside its network. For continuity of care, the Contractor may also choose to provide the service within its network. If the Contractor refers the enrolled person for services to a third-party insurer (other than Medicare), and the insurer requires payment in advance of all co-payments, coinsurance and deductibles, the Contractor shall make such payments in advance. If the Contractor knows that the third party insurer shall neither pay for nor provide the Covered Service, and the service is medically necessary, the Contractor shall not deny the service nor require a written denial letter. If the Contractor does not know whether a particular service is covered by the third party, and the service is medically necessary, the Contractor shall contact the third party and determine whether or not such service is covered rather than requiring the enrolled person to do so. The requirement to cost avoid applies to all AHCCCS Title XIX and Title XXI covered services. In emergencies, the Contractor shall provide the necessary services and then coordinate payment with the third-party payer. The Contractor shall also provide medically necessary transportation so that enrolled persons can receive third-party benefits. Further, if a service is medically necessary, the Contractor shall ensure that its cost avoidance efforts do not prevent an enrolled person from receiving such service and that the enrolled person shall not be required to pay any coinsurance or deductibles for use of the other insurer's providers. 21. Post-payment Recoveries: Post-payment recovery is necessary in cases where the Contractor was not aware of another payer at the time services were rendered or paid for, or was unable to cost avoid. The Contractor shall identify all potential payers and pursue reimbursement from them except in the circumstances below. The Contractor shall not pursue reimbursement for services provided to Title XIX/XXI enrolled persons in the following circumstances unless the case has been referred to the Contractor by ADHS or the RBHA: a. Uninsured/underinsured motorist insurance b. First and third party liability insurance c. Tortfeasors, including casualty d. Special Treatment Trusts Recovery e. Worker's Compensation f. Estates Recovery g. Restitution Recovery. 22. Reporting: The Contractor shall communicate any known change in health insurance information, including Medicare, to the RBHA not later than ten (10) days from the date of discovery. Approximately every four months, the Contractor shall provide the RBHA with a complete file of all health insurance information for the purpose of updating the Contractor's files. The Contractor shall notify the RBHA of any known changes in coverage within deadlines and in a format prescribed by the RBHA.

Medicare Services and Cost Sharing: The ADHS has persons enrolled who are eligible for both Medicare and Title XIX covered services. These enrolled persons are referred to as "dual eligibles". There are different cost sharing responsibilities that apply to dual eligibles based on a variety of factors. The Contractor is responsible for adhering to the cost sharing responsibilities presented in ADHS policy and in the AHCCCS Rules. The Contractor has no cost sharing obligation if the Medicare payment exceeds what the Contractor would have paid for the same service of a non-Medicare enrolled person. The case rate payment includes Medicare co-insurance and deductibles where applicable. 24. Sources of Payment/Adjustments: The parties acknowledge that other than donations and grants to the Contractor and funds otherwise generated by the Contractor independently from this Subcontract, and except for funds, if any, made available from third party payers by reason of coordination of benefits and collection of permitted co-payments, the only source of payment to the Contractor for Covered Services provided hereunder is funds from the RBHA payable hereunder via the Fiscal Agent. Any error discovered by the RBHA or ADHS with or without an audit in the amount of compensation paid to the Contractor will be subject to and shall require adjustment or repayment by or to the Contractor, by making a corresponding increase or decrease in a current payment to the Contractor or by making an additional payment by the RBHA to the Contractor, or vice versa. 25. Availability of Funds: Payments made by the RBHA to the Contractor pursuant to this Subcontract and the continued authorization of Covered Services are conditioned upon the availability of funds to the ADHS and in turn to the RBHA from ADHS of funds authorized for expenditure in the manner and for the purposes provided herein. Neither the RBHA nor ADHS shall be liable for any purchases or obligations incurred by the Contractor in anticipation of such funding. The two previous sentences shall not, however, relieve the RBHA or the State from any obligation to pay for Covered Services once and to the extent same are rendered pursuant to this Subcontract. 26. Payments: Payments made by the RBHA to the Contractor are conditioned upon receipt of applicable, accurate and complete reports and encounters, documentation and information then due from the Contractor, except to the extent excused by the RBHA with the consent of ADHS.

Data Validation Studies: The Contractor shall participate, and require each Subcontracted Provider to participate in validation studies as may be required by the RBHA and ADHS. Any and all Covered Services may be validated as part of the studies. 28. Compliance by the Contractor: If the Contractor is in any manner in default in the performance of any material obligation as outlined in this Subcontract, or if financial, compliance or performance audit exceptions are identified, the RBHA or ADHS may, at its option and in addition to other available remedies, either adjust the amount of payment or withholding or cause payment to be withheld until satisfactory resolution of the default or exception. The Contractor shall have the right to ten (10) business days prior written notice of any such action in adjusting the amount of payment or withholding payment. Under no circumstances shall payments be authorized that exceed an amount specified in this Subcontract without an approved written amendment to this Subcontract. The RBHA may, at its option, withhold final payment to the Contractor until receipt of all final reports and deliverables. The Contractor may appeal payment adjustments or payment withholding in accordance with ADHS and RBHA provider appeal policies and procedures and AHCCCS Rules. 29. Program/Contractor Advances: The RBHA may, in its sole and absolute discretion, advance payments to the Contractor if necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the RBHA to develop, salvage or maintain an essential service to members.

State Not Liable: The Contractor acknowledges and agrees that the obligations for payment to the Contractor for Covered Services hereunder are those solely and exclusively of the RBHA through the Fiscal Agent and that neither the State, ADHS nor AHCCCS shall have any liability or obligation to the Contractor for the payment for Covered Services to members, or otherwise. The obligations of the State with respect to payment for Covered Services are solely those set forth in the Contract. 33.

Absence of Interest on the Part of State or RBHA Employees: Except for persons employed by the Arizona Board of Regents or a unit thereof, no individual employed by the State or the RBHA shall have a substantial interest in this Subcontract or receive a substantial benefit that may arise herefrom.

Substitute Securities A full listing of acceptable substitute securities is described below. The acceptable list is complete, no others can be substituted. The listing of unacceptable securities is not comprehensive; it is designed only to give an idea of common securities that have already been considered and rejected. CPSA will periodically review the acceptable substitutes and consider options as needed. The completion of the Assignment of RBHA Certificate of Securities Form is the Contractor's responsibility. i. United States Treasury Bills (T-Bills). Similar to the Treasury Notes and Bonds, except they are much shorter in term, three, six and twelve months, and are sold at a discount. This means that less than the face amount is paid for the original purchase price and the face amount is recovered at maturity. The interest earned is the difference between the amount paid and the par value of the T-Bill. ii. United States Treasury Notes and Bonds. This type of security is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government. These are notes, with maturities ranging from two to thirty years. Interest is paid semi-annually on the anniversary of the issued date and six months later. They are considered coupon securities even though they are now mostly in book entry form. Ownership is simply entered in the computers of the Federal Reserve. Interest is paid by the Federal Reserve issuing credits to members that the notes are recorded through, and the banks credit the customer's account. These notes and bonds shall be held by the custodian of the State Treasurer (Bank of New York-Western Trust Company.) They may not be released or substituted without DBHS approval. iii. Federal Farm Credit Funding Corporation (FFCB). The FFCB is 37 banks that issue two types of securities that can be substitutes for the performance bond, Consolidated System wide bonds and Consolidated System wide notes. The securities are the joint and several obligations of all 37 member banks of the FFCB. iv. Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLB). The FHLB serves the same function for the Savings and Loan industry as the Federal Reserve does for the banking industry. It is owned by the member Savings and Loan and issues coupon interest bonds much like Federal Reserve. v. Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA). FNMA issues two types of securities, coupon interest bonds and mortgage bonds. The coupon interest bonds are acceptable for the Performance Bonds. The Mortgage bonds are not acceptable because of the repayment of the principal over the life of the bonds.

Stocks . Letter of Credit fro other than a Bank, Savings and Loan or Credit Union . Banker's acceptance . Mutual Funds . Letter of Credit (guarantee) from any parent organization 4. Pharmacy Pool. In order to determine the current monthly pharmacy withhold amount, the RBHA applies the most current pharmacy cost data against the gross case rate payment. Once the actual pharmacy cost data is received for each respective month, the applied withhold for that month will be compared to the actual pharmacy costs for that month and an adjustment made to zero out any variances. Any variance (+/-) is applied as part of the current month's pharmacy withholds. The RBHA will pay the contracted Third Party Pharmacy Administrator on a bimonthly basis for all pharmacy costs related to members from the respective Comprehensive Service Network withhold amounts. B. METHOD OF COMPENSATION: 1. Case Rate: On [K1]a monthly basis, gross case rate payments are calculated based on the Contractor's assigned capacity, by population, multiplied by the contracted case rate (gross case rate). The gross case rate is reduced by the monthly pharmacy withhold amount resulting in the net case rate payment. The case rate includes Medicare co-insurance and deductibles where applicable. Assuming actual enrolled members do not fall below 85% of capacity for SMI members and 90% of capacity for Children, the total funded amount will remain constant. In the event actual assigned members fall below the thresholds described above, RBHA retains the right to review for consideration of appropriate adjustment of Contractor's capacities and/or case rates. In the event assigned/enrolled SMI members or Children exceed 110% of system wide capacity, the RBHA and the Contractor shall review and may consider adjustments as appropriate. The RBHA also may adjust capacity downward if enrollment decreases are due to member dissatisfaction or other quality or programmatic issues, resulting in increased assignments to other contracted Contractors. 2.

These housing support services are identified in the Covered Behavioral Services Guide and are provided to assist individuals or families to obtain and maintain housing. These services may include rent and utility subsidies and relocation services to a person or family for the purpose of securing and maintaining housing. Please refer to the ADHS/DBHS Covered Services Guide for an expanded description and billing limitations. These services are not an entitlement, not to be used for ongoing rent payments, and should be made available only to the extent funding allows. There is no obligation on the part of the Network to provide these services if the allocated funds for these services have already been spent, although the Network remains responsible for providing case management services to identify other resources for obtaining or maintaining housing. In general, the expectation is that the members with highest risk factors will be the population within the Networks' larger member population who will be eligible to receive these services. Members who need funds to avoid eviction or utility shut-off when current housing is already in place, and members who are homeless or who are at risk of becoming homeless are the highest priorities for receiving these services. The following are considered additional priorities for receipt of housing support services: .. Meeting criteria for Serious Mental Illness, especially when the member has a co-occurring substance use disorder(s) .. Meeting criteria for Serious Mental Illness and another condition or disorder such as developmental disability, pregnancy, HIV infection and/or responsible for the care of small children, etc. .. Meeting criteria for General Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder (co-occurring), especially when the member also has another condition or disorder, such as developmental disability, pregnancy, HIV infection, responsible for the care of small children, etc. .. Meeting criteria for General Mental Health or Substance Use Disorder, when the member also has another condition or disorder, such as developmental disability, pregnancy, HIV infection, responsible for the care of small children, etc. The Network may set additional criteria to ensure the individual is able to maintain their housing following the use of the housing support services, including requiring a plan be in place for ongoing support and /or demonstration of ability to maintain other conditions that will lead to obtaining or maintaining housing. The Network may provide these services, at their discretion, to Non-Title XIX/XXI/Non-SMI members, if there is funding available, providing that members meeting the priorities listed above are considered first for these services.

These requirements include, but are not limited to requirements concerning the eligibility determination, the comprehensive assessment, development of the ITP, the ITP meeting, distributing the ITP, client acceptance of the ITP, interim ITPs, implementing the ITP, review and modification of the ITP, and discharge planning from inpatient facilities. 10. The Contractor shall ensure the participation of the client in the development, implementation, review and modification of the client's ITP to the greatest extent possible. 11. The ITP shall be based on services that are provided in the least restrictive, most normal setting and on services that maximize the client's strengths, independence and integration into the community. 12. The ITP shall be based on the actual needs of the client rather than on what services are currently available. 13. The Contractor shall implement a written service agreement with the RBHA for each client who is to receive services in accordance with paragraph 63 of the Implementation Plan. 14. The Contractor shall not discontinue or otherwise interrupt services to a client without: (a) modification of the ITP in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Implementation Plan and ADHS policies and rules, and (b) obtaining prior written approval from the client's clinical team. If prior written approval is obtained, the Contractor shall give 30 days written notice to the client, the client's guardian, if any, and the client's case manager. If the client poses a threat of imminent harm to persons employed or served by the Contractor, the Contractor shall give notice which is reasonable under the circumstances. 15. No service of the Contractor shall be modified, terminated, interrupted or discontinued except upon modification of the ITP by the clinical team in conjunction with the client and the client's guardian and/or designated representatives, if any. 16. All modifications of the ITP may be grieved by the client, and the case manager shall inform all clients of this right whenever an ITP is modified. If a class member grieves a modification, no services shall be modified, terminated, interrupted or discontinued until the grievance, and any judicial review thereof, are final. 17. Clients may request a change in case manager, psychiatrist or clinical team, which request shall be honored to the extent possible. 18. All housing and residential services shall be provided in homelike settings that are designed to integrate clients into the community. There shall be no arbitrary time limits on length of stay in any housing or residential program. 19. The Contractor shall only develop housing and residential services that comply with the size limitations in the Implementation Plan, paragraph 127, and that conform to the interpretative guidelines developed by ADHS. 20. The Contractor must accept referrals of all class members in Arnold v. Arizona Department of Health Services. Once the clinical team determines that the client requires specific services, no agency under contract or subcontract with ADHS to provide those same specific services may unreasonably refuse to provide those services except when, in the case of a residential program, there are no vacancies, and in the case of other services, the extension of services would cause the agency to exceed pre-established staff/client ratios. All refusals to provide services for whatever reason shall be reported in writing to the medical director of DBHS. NOTE: The foregoing shall apply to the extent same relate to services to be provided by the Contractor under its Subcontract with the RBHA. ATTACHMENTS Effective 7-01-03 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Letterhead of cpsa] Community Partnership of Southern Arizona Regional Behavioral Health Authority - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUBCONTRACT AGREEMENT COMPREHENSIVE SERVICE NETWORK The Providence Service Corporation - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CONTRACT NUMBER: A0308 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ATTACHMENT 12 ARIZONA VISION AND PRINCIPLES The Contractor and its Subcontracted Provider will participate in all ADHS activities required to meet the requirements of the J.K. Settlement agreement. Specific activities will be initiated to achieve the following Arizona Vision and Principles: A. THE ARIZONA VISION: 1. In collaboration with the child and family and others, Arizona will provide accessible behavioral health services designed to aid children to achieve success in school, live with their families, avoid delinquency, and become stable and productive adults. 2. Services will be tailored to the child and family and provided in the most appropriate setting, in a timely fashion, and in accordance with best practices, while respecting the child's and family's cultural heritage. B. THE 12 AZ PRINCIPLES 1. Collaboration with the child and family: Respect for and active collaboration with the child and parents is the cornerstone to achieving positive behavioral health outcomes. Parents and children are treated as partners in the assessment process, and the planning, delivery, and evaluation of behavioral health services, and their preferences are taken seriously. 2. Functional outcomes: Behavioral health services are designed and implemented to aid children to achieve success in school, live with their families, avoid delinquency, and become stable and productive adults. Implementation of the behavioral health services plan stabilizes the child's condition and minimizes safety risks. 3. Collaboration with others: When children have multi-agency, multi-system involvement, a joint assessment is developed and a jointly established behavioral health services plan is collaboratively implemented. Client centered teams plan and deliver services. Each child's team includes the child and parents and any foster parents, any individual important in the child's life who is invited to participate by the child or parents. The team also includes all other persons needed to develop an effective plan, including, as appropriate, the child's teacher, the child's Child Protective Service and/or Division of Developmental Disabilities case workers, and the child's probation officer. The team develops a common assessment of the child's and family's strengths and needs; develops an individualized service plan; monitors implementation of the plan; and makes adjustments in the plan if it is not succeeding. 4. Accessible services: Children have access to a comprehensive array of behavioral health services, sufficient to ensure that they receive treatment they need. Plans identify transportation the parents and child need to access behavioral health services, and how transportation assistance will be provided. Behavioral health are adapted or created when they are needed by not available. 5. Best practices: ATTACHMENTS Effective 7-01-03 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Letterhead of cpsa] Community Partnership of Southern Arizona Regional Behavioral Health Authority - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUBCONTRACT AGREEMENT COMPREHENSIVE SERVICE NETWORK The Providence Service Corporation - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CONTRACT NUMBER: A0308 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Behavioral health services are provided by competent individuals who are adequately trained and supervised. Behavioral health services are delivered in accordance with guidelines adopted by ADHS that incorporate evidence-based "best practice". Behavioral health service plans identify and appropriately address behavioral symptoms that are reactions to death of a family member, abuse or neglect, learning disorders, and other similar traumatic or frightening circumstances, substance abuse problems, the specialized behavioral health needs of children who are developmentally disabled, maladaptive sexual behavior, including abusive conduct and risky behavior, and the need for stability and the need to promote permanency in class member's lives, especially class members in foster care. Behavioral health services are continually evaluated and modified if ineffective in achieving desired outcomes. 6. Most appropriate setting: Children are provided behavioral health services in their home and community to the extent possible. Behavioral health services are provided in the most integrated setting appropriate to the child's needs. When provided in a residential setting, the setting is the most integrated and most home-like setting that is appropriate to the child's needs. 7. Timeliness: Children identified as needing behavioral health services are assessed and served promptly. a. Services tailored to the child and family: The unique strengths and needs of children and their families dictate the type, mix and intensity of behavioral health services provided. Parents and children are encouraged and assisted to articulate their own strengths and needs, the goals they are seeking and what services they think are required to meet these goals. b. Stability: Behavioral health service plans strive to minimize placements. Service plans identify whether a class member is at risk of experiencing a placement disruption and if so, identify the steps to be taken to minimize or eliminate the risk. Behavioral health service plans anticipate crises that might develop and include specific strategies and services that will be employed if a crisis develops. In responding to crises, the behavioral health system uses all appropriate behavioral health services to help the child remain at home, minimize placement disruptions and avoid the inappropriate use of the police and criminal justice system. Behavioral health service plans anticipate and appropriately plan for transitions in children's lives, including transitions to new schools and new placements, and transitions to adult services. i. Respect for the child and family's unique cultural heritage: Behavioral health services are provided in a manner that respects the cultural tradition and heritage of the child and family. Services are provided in Spanish to children and parents whose primary language is Spanish. ii. Independence: Behavioral health services include support and training for parents in meeting their child's behavioral health needs, and support and training for children in self-management. Behavioral health service plans identify parents' and children's need for training and support to participate as partners in assessment process and in the planning, delivery, and evaluation of services, and provide that such training and support, including transportation assistance, advance discussions and help with understanding written materials will be made available.

Connection to natural supports: The behavioral health system identifies and appropriately utilizes natural supports available from the child and parents' own network of associates, including friends and neighbors, and from community organizations, including service and religious organizations. The Contractor and its Subcontracted Providers will participate in the ADHS initiatives relevant to operationalizing the Arizona Vision and Principles. This will include: .
