DCH or its Agent will determine eligibility for PeachCare for Kids and will collect applicable premiums. DCH or its agent will continue responsibility for the electronic eligibility verification system (EVS). 2.3.2 DCH or its Agent will review the Medicaid Management Information System (MMIS) file daily and send written notification and information within two (2) Business Days to all Members who are determined eligible for GF.

Members will be Auto-Assigned to those plans that have higher scores on quality measures to be defined by DCH. This factor will be applied after determining that there are no Historical Provider Relationships, but prior to utilizing the lowest Capitation rates criteria. 2.3.6 In the Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, XXX will limit enrollment in a single plan to no more than forty percent (40%) of total GF eligible lives in the Service Region. Members will not be Auto-Assigned to a CMO plan unless a family member is enrolled in the CMO plan or a Historical Provider Relationship exists with a Provider that does not participate in any other CMO plan in the Atlanta Service Region. DCH may, at its sole discretion, elect to modify this threshold for reasons it deems necessary and proper. 2.3.7 In the five (5) Service Regions other than Atlanta DCH will limit Enrollment in a single plan to no more than sixty-five percent (65%) of total GF eligible lives in the Service Region.

• Open Enrollment Period Open Enrollment is a period of time each year when you and your eligible dependents, if family coverage is offered, may enroll for healthcare coverage or make changes to your existing healthcare coverage. The effective date will be on the first day of your employer’s plan year. A Special Enrollment Period is a time outside the yearly Open Enrollment Period when you can sign up for health coverage. You and your eligible dependents may enroll for coverage through a Special Enrollment Period by providing required enrollment information within thirty (30) days of the following events: • you get married, the coverage effective is the first day of the month following your marriage. • you have a child born to the family, the coverage effective date is the date of birth. • you have a child placed for adoption with your family, the coverage effective date is the date of placement. Special note about enrolling your newborn child: You must notify your employer of the birth of a newborn child and pay the required premium within thirty -one (31) days of the date of birth. Otherwise, the newborn will not be covered beyond the thirty -one (31) day period. This plan does not cover services for a newborn child who remains hospitalized after thirty-one (31) days and has not been enrolled in this plan. If you are enrolled in an Individual Plan when your child is born, the coverage for thirty- one (31) days described above means your plan becomes a Family Plan for as long as your child is covered. Applicable Family Plan deductibles and maximum out-of-pocket expenses may apply. In addition, if you lose coverage from another plan, you may enroll or add your eligible dependents for coverage through a Special Enrollment Period by providing required enrollment information within thirty (30) days following the date you lost coverage. Coverage will begin on the first day of the month following the date your coverage under the other plan ended. In order to be eligible, the loss of coverage must be the result of: • legal separation or divorce; • death of the covered policy holder; • termination of employment or reduction in the number of hours of employment; • the covered policy holder becomes entitled to Medicare; • loss of dependent child status under the plan; • employer contributions to such coverage are being terminated; • COBRA benefits are exhausted; or • your employer is undergoing Chapter 11 proceedings. You are also eligible for a Special Enrollment Period if you and/or your eligible dependent lose eligibility for Medicaid or a Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), or if you and/or your eligible dependent become eligible for premium assistance for Medicaid or a (CHIP). In order to enroll, you must provide required information within sixty (60) days following the change in eligibility. Coverage will begin on the first day of the month following our receipt of your application. In addition, you may be eligible for a Special Enrollment Period if you provide required information within thirty (30) days of one of the following events: • you or your dependent lose minimum essential coverage (unless that loss of coverage is due to non-payment of premium or your voluntary termination of coverage); • you adequately demonstrate to us that another health plan substantially violated a material provision of its contract with you; • you make a permanent move to Rhode Island: or • your enrollment or non-enrollment in a qualified health plan is unintentional, inadvertent, or erroneous and is the result of error, misrepresentation, or inaction by us or an agent of HSRI or the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

• Disenrollment The Contractor shall: Have a mechanism for receiving timely information about all disenrollments from the Contractor’s One Care Plan, including the effective date of disenrollment, from CMS and MassHealth systems. All enrollments and disenrollment‑related transactions will be performed by the EOHHS customer service vendor. Subject to 42 C.F.R. § 423.100, § 423.38 and § 438.56. Enrollees can elect to disenroll from the One Care Plan or the Demonstration at any time and enroll in another One Care Plan, a Medicare Advantage plan, PACE, or Senior Care Options (if they meet applicable eligibility requirements); or may elect to receive services through Medicare fee‑for‑service and a prescription drug plan and to receive Medicaid services in accordance with the Commonwealth’s State plan and any waiver programs. Disenrollments received by MassHealth or the Contractor, or by CMS or its contractor by the last calendar day of the month will be effective on the first calendar day of the following month; Be responsible for ceasing the provision of Covered Services to an Enrollee upon the effective date of disenrollment; Notify EOHHS of any individual who is no longer eligible to remain enrolled in the One Care Plan per CMS enrollment guidance, in order for EOHHS to disenroll the individual. This includes where an Enrollee remains out of the Service Area or for whom residence in the One Care Plan Service Area cannot be confirmed for more than six (6) consecutive months; Not interfere with the Enrollee’s right to disenroll through threat, intimidation, pressure, or otherwise; Not request the disenrollment of any Enrollee due to an adverse change in the Enrollee’s health status or because of the Enrollee’s utilization of treatment plan, medical services, diminished mental capacity, or uncooperative or disruptive behavior resulting from his or her special needs. The Contractor, however, may submit a written request, accompanied by supporting documentation, to the Contract Management Team (CMT) to disenroll an Enrollee, for cause, for the following reason: The Enrollee’s continued enrollment seriously impairs the Contractor’s ability to furnish services to either this Enrollee or other Enrollees, provided the Enrollee’s behavior is determined to be unrelated to an adverse change in the Enrollee's health status, or because of the Enrollee's utilization of medical services, diminished mental capacity, or uncooperative or disruptive behavior resulting from his or her special needs.

The Sellers shall pay to the Company with the payment of any taxes due hereunder, the Sellers’ Pro Rata Amount of the costs and expenses incurred by the Purchaser or the Company in the preparation and filing of the Tax Returns. Any net operating losses or credits relating to a Tax period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date shall be taken into account as though the relevant Tax period ended on the Closing Date.
