Common use of Amendments to Provider Manual Clause in Contracts

Amendments to Provider Manual. PacifiCare may amend the Provider Manual by providing thirty (30) calendar days’ prior written notice to Medical Group. Such amendments shall be binding upon Medical Group at the end of the thirty (30) calendar-day period. Medical Group shall be bound by such amendment unless (i) Medical Group provides PacifiCare with notice of objection within the thirty (30) calendar-day notice period, (ii) such change is not made in order to comply with a change in State or Federal Law, (iii) such change is not made in order to address a change in PacifiCare’s Managed Care Plans, (iv) such change affects a material duty or responsibility of Medical Group, and (v) the change has a material adverse economic effect upon Medical Group as reasonably demonstrated by Medical Group to PacifiCare. In such event, Medical Group and PacifiCare shall seek to agree to an amendment to this Agreement which satisfactorily addresses the effect on Medical Group’s material duty or responsibility and reimburses the material economic detriment caused to Medical Group. In such event, the amendment to the Provider Manual shall not be effective until the parties amend the Agreement through a written amendment signed by both parties.
