Common use of Coordinated Care Plan Clause in Contracts

Coordinated Care Plan. The Medicare+Choice Organization agrees to operate coordinated care plans (as defined in 42 CFR 422.4(a)(l)), as described in its Adjusted Community Rate (ACR) proposal as approved annually by CMS, in compliance with the requirements of this contract and applicable Federal statutes, regulations, and policies. This contract is deemed to incorporate any changes that are required by statute to be implemented during the term of the contract and any regulations or policies implementing or interpreting such statutory provisions. However, CMS agrees that any regulation or policy statement it issues later than 30 days prior to the date by which M+C Organizations are required to submit ACR proposals to CMS, and which creates significant new operational costs of which the M+C Organization did not have reasonable notice prior to such date, shall not take effect in the next calendar year unless implementation during the next calendar year is required by statute or in connection with litigation challenging CMS' policies. CMS retains the authority to issue, with an effective date during the term of this contract, policies to implement the statutory requirement that M+C Organizations provide their enrollees those items and services for which benefits are available under Medicare Parts A and B. Clarifications or explanations of M+C operational requirements issued prior to 30 days prior to the date by which M+C Organizations are required to submit ACR proposals are not considered to create new operational costs of which the M+C organization did not have notice.
