1.
For the rating period beginning November 1, 2019 and ending June 30, 2020, the GHP (Vital) PMPM Premium Rates included in Attachment 11 will be updated retroactively for the change in morbidity from the base period used for rate development to the rating period. The change in morbidity, for each rate cell, will be calculated by comparing the risk score based on claims incurred November 2016 – April 2017 (paid through July 2017) to the risk score based on claims incurred November 2019 – April 2020 (paid through July 2020) using CDPS v6.3+Rx.

II. RATIFICATION

All other terms and provisions of the original Contract, as amended by Contract Amendments A, B, C, D and E and of any and all documents incorporated by reference therein, not specifically deleted or modified herein shall remain in full force and effect. The Parties hereby affirm their respective undertakings and representations as set forth therein, as of the date thereof.  Capitalized terms used in this Amendment, if any, shall have the same meaning assigned to such terms in the Contract.

Following CMS and FOMB approval of the updated PMPM Payment rates attached hereto as Exhibit A, which the Parties acknowledge and agree may occur after the Amendment Effective Date (defined in Amendment § IV below), such updated PMPM Payment rates shall be applied as of November 1, 2019 (the “Updated PMPM Payment Rates”) as agreed upon in Contract Amendment 2019-000052D; provided that,


(1)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, because Updated PMPM Payment Rates are subject to CMS and FOMB approval, ASES will continue to pay Contractor at the PMPM Payment rates that existed prior to the Amendment Effective Date until such time as the Updated PMPM Payment Rates have been approved by CMS and the FOMB; and


(2)
Within thirty (30) calendar days following CMS and FOMB approval of Updated PMPM Payment Rates, the parties shall begin to reconcile any difference between (i) PMPM Payments that ASES made to Contractor after November 1, 2019, and (ii) Updated PMPM Payment Rates.
