Insurance Reimbursement If you have a health insurance policy, it will usually provide some coverage for mental health treatment. I will facilitate your receipt of the benefits to which you are entitled including filling out forms and speaking with insurance representatives. You will be held responsible for full payment of our agreed upon fee should your insurance company deny benefits or should your coverage lapse. Therefore, it is very important that you find out exactly what mental health benefits your insurance policy covers. Read your plan carefully and call your service representative if you have questions. Many insurance plans require advance authorization before they will provide reimbursement for mental health services. These plans often are oriented toward a short-term model and provide only a certain amount of sessions per year. Many insurance companies may only authorize a few sessions at a time and I will need to periodically call them to authorize additional sessions. When I call to authorize treatment or continue our sessions, I will provide them with the minimum amount of information needed, usually including a diagnosis, goals for treatment, and a brief summary of your current functioning. It is possible, but very rare, that they would require a copy of my clinical record. This information will become part of insurance company files and is likely to be computerized. All insurance companies claim to keep such information confidential, but once it is in their hands, I have no control over what they do with it. In some cases, they may share the information with a national medical information data bank. By signing this Agreement, you agree that I can provide requested information to your insurance carrier. If you request it, I will provide you with a copy of any report that I am asked to submit. I make it my policy to inform you along the way of where we stand with your insurance company and what kind of information they have requested. Should insurance coverage end for some reason, we can discuss an out-of-pocket session fee. You can always choose to select this option and have the right to pay for my services yourself to avoid the complexities of the insurance industry.
Transportation Allowance When an employee is required to travel to the Hospital or to return to her home as a result of reporting to or off work between the hours of hours, (other than reporting to or off work for her regular shift) or at any time while on standby, the Hospital will pay transportation costs either by taxi or by her own vehicle at the rate of thirty-five cents ($0.35) per mile (to a maximum of fourteen dollars ($14.00)) or such greater amount as the Hospital may in its discretion determine for each trip between the aforementioned hours. The employee will provide to the Hospital satisfactory proof of payment of such taxi fare.
Transportation Reimbursement Employees who, during the course of their normal duties, are required to actually transport clients/consumers/felons in their own personal vehicle on a regular basis, are eligible for reimbursement for the cost of an automobile rider to their existing insurance policy. To be eligible for the reimbursement, the employee must demonstrate the following:
1. That he/she is normally required to transport clients/consumers/felons in the course of their duties.
2. That there is no access to or available State vehicles.
3. That public transportation cannot be used.
4. That their insurance company requires a special rider on their existing automobile policy.
5. Proof that such a rider has been purchased.
6. Proof of a valid driver’s license and insurance policy. By receiving such reimbursement, employees acknowledge that they may be required to use their own personal vehicle to transport clients/consumers/felons in the normal course of their duties. The reimbursement to such employee(s) is the actual cost of the rider not to exceed seventy-five dollars ($75) per year whichever is less. This reimbursement will be paid on a yearly basis in the pay period that includes July 1st. Employees who either resign, retire, or have their employment terminated during the year and employees who start during any part of the year will have the reimbursement prorated. In the case of employees who either retire, resign, or have their employment terminated will have that portion of the reimbursement repaid to the State, in the last paycheck.

Landlord may inspect the Premises and, if Landlord reasonably determines that Tenant is not maintaining the Premises in their condition on the Effective Date, Landlord may provide Tenant with written notice of any such maintenance concern, and Tenant shall promptly make such repairs. If Tenant fails to complete such repairs within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice, Landlord may undertake such repairs and Tenant shall be obligated to reimburse Landlord for its costs within ten (10) days of receipt of an invoice therefore. Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that the exterior walls, foundation and roof of the Premises are in good working order on the Effective Date. Landlord will, at its cost, replace, restore, repair or maintain (as necessary) the roof until the first anniversary of the Commencement Date. Landlord will, at its cost, replace, restore, repair or maintain (as necessary) the exterior walls and foundation of the Premises until the fifth anniversary of the Commencement Date. Tenant shall be fully responsible for the replacement, restoration, repair and maintenance of the roof, exterior walls and foundation of the Premises thereafter. If Landlord fails to commence such repairs within thirty (30) days of receipt of any notice from Tenant, Tenant may undertake such repairs and Landlord shall be obligated to reimburse Tenant for its costs within ten (10) days of receipt of an invoice therefore; provided, however, that Tenant shall have no rights to offset or set off any such amounts against the Rent to be paid hereunder. If Landlord does not reimburse Tenant within ten (10) days from the date of notice, such charge shall bear interest at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum until paid. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained (except for the provisions of paragraph 32 below), if Tenant makes any changes, additions or alterations to the roof of the Premises which involves penetration of the roof (other than those for telecommunications installations so long as the installation contractor has Landlord’s prior written approval which will not be unreasonably conditioned, delayed or denied), Landlord’s obligations to replace, restore, repair or maintain the roof shall cease. If Tenant undertakes any structural repairs in the Premises which impact, affect, or alter the walls or foundation of the Premises, Landlord’s obligation to replace, restore, repair or maintain that portion of the exterior walls and foundation of the Premises shall cease as of the date of such action by Tenant.

Emergency Escalation Escalation is strictly for purposes of notifying and investigating possible or potential issues in relation to monitored services.

Registry Operators and ICANN must provide said emergency operations departments. Current contacts must be maintained between ICANN and Registry Operators and published to Registrars, where relevant to their role in escalations, prior to any processing of an Emergency Escalation by all related parties, and kept current at all times.
