Common use of Charges for the Services Clause in Contracts

Charges for the Services. 3.1 Bupa shall be liable to pay the Provider for the Services at the Charges, in each case subject and to the extent: (A) that the relevant Facility is recognised to provide such Services under its Recognition Status; (B) provided for in this Healthcare Services Agreement; and (C) the Services are Covered Treatment. 3.2 Where any amendment to the Charges takes effect during an Episode, the applicable Charges for any Services provided to the Member shall be those applying at the date on which the particular Service is provided to the Member. 3.3 If: (A) neither Party has served notice to terminate this Healthcare Services Agreement in accordance with Clause 5.2 and, as a result, this Healthcare Services Agreement continues after the Earliest End Date; or (B) this Healthcare Services Agreement has or is due to be terminated in accordance with its terms, but the Parties have agreed that the Provider should continue to provide some or all of the Services pursuant to a new healthcare services agreement but that new healthcare services agreement has not yet been entered into between the Parties, then the Charges applying on the day before the Earliest End Date shall continue to apply until the date that this Healthcare Services Agreement is terminated or the new healthcare services agreement has been entered into (whichever is the earlier). 3.4 For the avoidance of doubt, this Healthcare Services Agreement does not impose any minimum or maximum volume of Services that Members must or may request from, or Bupa is required or may refer to, the Provider, and does not restrict Bupa’s ability to direct Members in accordance with the terms of a Member Policy. 3.5 The Parties agree that the charges set out in Schedule 2 will apply to Services provided to Members covered by health insurance provided by members of the Bupa Group incorporated outside of the United Kingdom (including Bupa Australia, Bupa Middle East and Sanitas) and health insurance sold by Bupa through its international division, and in these circumstances the Provider shall directly invoice the relevant organisation within the Bupa Group which at the relevant time operates the Scheme concerned.
