Provider further agrees to abide by the Medicaid laws, regulations and program instructions to the extent applicable to Provider in Provider’s performance of the Agreement. Provider understands that payment of a claim by Health Plan, Subcontractor or the State is conditioned upon the claim and the underlying transaction complying with such laws, regulations, and program instructions (including, but not limited to, federal requirements on fraud, waste and abuse, disclosure, debarment, termination and exclusion screening), and is conditioned on the Provider’s compliance with all applicable conditions of participation in Medicaid.

Provider’s payment of a claim will be denied if Provider is terminated or excluded from participation in federal healthcare programs. Provider’s payment of a claim may be temporarily suspended if the State, Health Plan or Subcontractor provides notice that a credible allegation of fraud exists and there is a pending investigation. Provider’s payment of a claim may also be temporarily suspended or adjusted if the Provider bills a claim with a code that does not match the service provided. Health Plan and Subcontractor performs coding edit procedures based primarily on National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) policies and other nationally recognized and validated policies. Provider agrees that it will provide medical records to Health Plan and Subcontractor upon its request in order to determine appropriateness of coding.
