The Contractor and its Providers and Subcontractors shall not xxxx a Member for Medically Necessary Covered Services with the exception of applicable co-pays or other cost sharing requirements provided under this Contract. Any Provider who knowingly and willfully bills a Member for a Medicaid Covered Service shall be guilty of a felony and upon conviction shall be fined, imprisoned, or both, as defined in Xxxxxxx 0000X(x)(0) 00 X.X.X. 0000x-0x of the Social Security Act. This provision shall remain in effect even if the Contractor becomes insolvent. However, if a Member agrees in advance in writing to pay for a Non-Medicaid covered service, then the Contractor, the Contractor’s Provider, or Contractor’s Subcontractor may xxxx the Member.
