CLASSIFICATION AND WAGES 29.01 (a) Schedule “A” hereto headed Classification and Wages is hereby made part of this Agreement.
New Classification Should a new position or new classification be created within the Bargaining Unit during the term of this Agreement, the Employer and the Union will decide the rate of pay. Nothing herein prevents the Employer from filling such positions and having Nurses working in such positions during such negotiations. The salary when determined will be retroactive to the date on which the successful candidate commenced work in that classification.
Tax Classification The Series shall elect to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation under Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-3 with effect for each taxable period of its existence. The Series and each Member shall file all tax returns and shall otherwise take all tax and financial reporting positions in a manner consistent with such treatment. No election will be filed with the Internal Revenue Service (or the tax authorities of any State) to have the Series taxable other than as an association taxable as a corporation for income tax purposes.
Repair and classification The Borrower shall procure that each Owner shall keep the Ship owned by it in a good and safe condition and state of repair: (a) consistent with first-class ship ownership and management practice; (b) so as to maintain the highest class with a first-class classification society which is a member of IACS acceptable to the Agent free of overdue recommendations and conditions of such classification society; and (c) so as to comply with all laws and regulations applicable to vessels registered at ports in the relevant Approved Flag State or to vessels trading to any jurisdiction to which the Ship may trade from time to time, including but not limited to the ISM Code, the ISPS Code, the ISM Code Documentation and the ISPS Code Documentation.
Compensation and Billing 6.1 The Facility shall only seek payment from EGID for the provision of Covered Services. The Facility agrees to accept the amount of the Allowable Fee for Covered Services as payment in full and agrees to only request payment from the Member for deductible, co-insurance and amounts for defined Non-Covered Services attributable to the Member’s Health Choice Plan. The payment shall be calculated and limited to the methodologies defined by this Contract. 6.2 When the Allowable Fee exceeds billed charges, EGID shall pay the appropriate percentage of the Allowable Fee and Member shall pay the appropriate percentage of billed charges unless the Member has met the stop loss limitation and then EGID shall pay the Allowable Fee and the Member has no liability. 6.3 When processing inpatient claims, EGID shall determine the MS-DRG Allowable Fee for non- transfer cases according to the following formula: Skilled Nursing Facility Services, Day Treatment and Residential treatment will be reimbursed utilizing the per diem methodology. In no event shall a per diem qualify as an Outlier. These benefits shall be allowed when the Member has received Medically Necessary Covered Services subject to the following policy limitations and conditions: a) EGID shall pay the appropriate percentage of the MS-DRG Allowable Fee and the Member shall pay the remainder of the MS-DRG Allowable Fee unless the Member has met the stop loss limitation, and then EGID shall pay one hundred percent (100%) of the MS-DRG Allowable Fee and the Member has no liability. b) The MS-DRG shall be controlling, subject to EGID’s approval and Article X of the Contract. c) The MS-DRG Allowable Fee does not include any physician professional component fees, which are considered for payment according to separately billed Current Procedural Terminology code Allowable Fees. d) EGID may reduce its payment by any deductibles, coinsurance and co- payments owed by the Member. e) EGID shall include the day of admission but not the day of discharge when computing the number of facility days provided to a Member. Observation Facility confinements for which a room and board charge is incurred shall be paid based on inpatient benefits. f) In the case of a transfer, the Transfer Allowable Fee for the transferring Facility shall be calculated as follows: Transfer Allowable Fee = (MS-DRG Allowable Fee/Geometric Mean Length of Stay) x (Length of Stay + 1 day) The total Transfer Allowable Fee paid to the transferring Facility shall be capped at the amount of the MS-DRG Allowable Fee for a non-transfer case. EGID shall allow payment to the receiving Facility, if it is also the final discharging Facility, at the MS- DRG Allowable Fee as if it were an original admission. g) EGID shall use the current version of the CMS MS-DRG grouper to categorize what shall constitute a procedure. XXXX’s and the Member’s financial liability shall be limited to the Allowable Fee as determined by XXXX. h) The Facility agrees not to charge more for Medical Services to Members than the amount normally charged by the Facility to other patients for similar services. i) For Outlier cases, EGID shall base its payment to the Facility using an Outlier Allowable Fee plus the MS-DRG Allowable Fee. The following formula shall be utilized to calculate the Outlier Allowable Fee: Outlier Allowable Fee = [Billed Charges – (MS-DRG Allowable Fee + Outlier Threshold)] x Marginal Cost Factor 6.4 When processing Outpatient claims, XXXX agrees to pay the Facility the Allowable Fee based on appropriate billing according to the following: a) If a procedure does not have an Allowable Fee, EGID will allow a percentage of the billed charges for Covered Services. b) EGID shall pay the appropriate percentage of the Allowable Fee and the Member shall pay the remainder based on the Member’s plan of benefits unless the Member has met the stop loss limitation, and then EGID shall pay 100% of the Allowable Fee and the Member has no liability.
New Classifications If a new classification is created within the bargaining unit, the Employer agrees to meet with the Union and negotiate a rate of pay for this new classification. If the parties cannot reach agreement, at the request of either party, the matter shall be submitted to the arbitration procedure in Article 26 of this Agreement.
