Common use of COMPLIANCE WITH LEGAL AUTHORITY Clause in Contracts

COMPLIANCE WITH LEGAL AUTHORITY. The parties recognize that Defendant is required to comply with applicable statutes and regulations, including any future revisions to the statutes and regulations that govern Medicare coverage, and that nothing in this Settlement Agreement shall prohibit Defendant from modifying its policies and procedures to comply with any relevant statutory or regulatory changes, even if such modifications are made during the period of the Court’s continuing jurisdiction under this Settlement Agreement, or from otherwise changing Defendant’s regulations in a manner consistent with the Administrative Procedure Act. If Plaintiffs’ Counsel believes that any such modifications to Defendant’s policies and procedures, such as the Medicare Benefits Policy Manual, are not authorized by any statutory or regulatory changes, and that any such modifications would constitute a breach of any of the provisions of this Settlement Agreement, they reserve the right to initiate the Dispute Resolution process in Section VIII.
