Claims Review Population A description of the Population subject to the Claims Review.
Disenrollment The Contractor shall: Have a mechanism for receiving timely information about all disenrollments from the Contractor’s One Care Plan, including the effective date of disenrollment, from CMS and MassHealth systems. All enrollments and disenrollment‑related transactions will be performed by the EOHHS customer service vendor. Subject to 42 C.F.R. § 423.100, § 423.38 and § 438.56. Enrollees can elect to disenroll from the One Care Plan or the Demonstration at any time and enroll in another One Care Plan, a Medicare Advantage plan, PACE, or Senior Care Options (if they meet applicable eligibility requirements); or may elect to receive services through Medicare fee‑for‑service and a prescription drug plan and to receive Medicaid services in accordance with the Commonwealth’s State plan and any waiver programs. Disenrollments received by MassHealth or the Contractor, or by CMS or its contractor by the last calendar day of the month will be effective on the first calendar day of the following month; Be responsible for ceasing the provision of Covered Services to an Enrollee upon the effective date of disenrollment; Notify EOHHS of any individual who is no longer eligible to remain enrolled in the One Care Plan per CMS enrollment guidance, in order for EOHHS to disenroll the individual. This includes where an Enrollee remains out of the Service Area or for whom residence in the One Care Plan Service Area cannot be confirmed for more than six (6) consecutive months; Not interfere with the Enrollee’s right to disenroll through threat, intimidation, pressure, or otherwise; Not request the disenrollment of any Enrollee due to an adverse change in the Enrollee’s health status or because of the Enrollee’s utilization of treatment plan, medical services, diminished mental capacity, or uncooperative or disruptive behavior resulting from his or her special needs. The Contractor, however, may submit a written request, accompanied by supporting documentation, to the Contract Management Team (CMT) to disenroll an Enrollee, for cause, for the following reason: The Enrollee’s continued enrollment seriously impairs the Contractor’s ability to furnish services to either this Enrollee or other Enrollees, provided the Enrollee’s behavior is determined to be unrelated to an adverse change in the Enrollee's health status, or because of the Enrollee's utilization of medical services, diminished mental capacity, or uncooperative or disruptive behavior resulting from his or her special needs.
Claims Handling Unless it has been agreed that the Client will deal with claims directly with insurers, WTW will provide claims handling services for the period of its appointment. These services can be continued beyond that point by mutual agreement but will be subject to additional remuneration. WTW’s claims handling service includes, upon receiving the required information from the Client, the notification of the claim or circumstances to insurers. It will also involve the ongoing provision of information and arranging the collection and/or settlement of the claim in accordance with market practice and the terms and conditions of the policy. Unless agreed otherwise, WTW’s claims handling services do not include the services provided by WTW’s insurance claims advocates (see below). Where the complexities of cover or the technical nature of the subject matter cause difficulty in progressing a claim, WTW has a team of insurance claims advocates who are experienced in negotiating complex claims and managing the settlement process. WTW reserves the right to charge additional remuneration if the Client requests the services of these claims advocates. In relation to marine claims, and in line with long-standing practice of the marine insurance market, WTW may earn additional remuneration by way of claims collecting commission of up to 1% on all amounts WTW collects from insurers as consideration for additional support provided in the negotiation and settlement of a loss. WTW will not charge claims collecting commission where the Client agrees to pay for the services of WTW’s insurance claims advocates. Where WTW collects claims payments, these will be remitted to the Client as soon as possible. However, WTW will not remit claims monies to the Client before WTW has received them from insurers. Where WTW has been granted authority by insurers to settle claims on the Client’s insurance, for example under a binding authority, managing general agency or a lineslip agreement, WTW will do so within the terms and conditions of the authority granted and the Client’s contract. When exercising delegated authority, it is WTW’s policy to refer claims to insurers for settlement decision where WTW is not able to settle the claim on a 100% basis.

Claims Processing BCBSM will process Provider's Clean Claims submitted in accordance with this Agreement in a timely fashion.
Processing of a Grievance It is recognized and accepted by the Union and the Employer that the processing of grievances as hereinafter provided is limited by the job duties and responsibilities of the employees and shall therefore be accomplished during normal working hours only when consistent with such employee duties and responsibilities. The aggrieved employee and a Union representative shall be allowed a reasonable amount of time without loss of pay when a grievance is investigated and presented to the Employer during normal working hours provided that the employee and the Union representative have notified and received the approval of the designated supervisor who has determined that such absence is reasonable and would not be detrimental to the work programs of the Employer.
Employment Eligibility Verification As required by IC § 22-5-1.7, the Contractor swears or affirms under the penalties of perjury that the Contractor does not knowingly employ an unauthorized alien. The Contractor further agrees that: A. The Contractor shall enroll in and verify the work eligibility status of all his/her/its newly hired employees through the E-Verify program as defined in IC § 22-5-1.7-3. The Contractor is not required to participate should the E-Verify program cease to exist. Additionally, the Contractor is not required to participate if the Contractor is self-employed and does not employ any employees. B. The Contractor shall not knowingly employ or contract with an unauthorized alien. The Contractor shall not retain an employee or contract with a person that the Contractor subsequently learns is an unauthorized alien. C. The Contractor shall require his/her/its subcontractors, who perform work under this Contract, to certify to the Contractor that the subcontractor does not knowingly employ or contract with an unauthorized alien and that the subcontractor has enrolled and is participating in the E-Verify program. The Contractor agrees to maintain this certification throughout the duration of the term of a contract with a subcontractor. The State may terminate for default if the Contractor fails to cure a breach of this provision no later than thirty (30) days after being notified by the State.
