SAVINGS/FORCE MAJEURE A force majeure occurrence is an event or effect that cannot be reasonably anticipated or controlled. Force majeure includes, but is not limited to, acts of God, acts of war, acts of public enemies, strikes, fires, explosions, actions of the elements, floods, or other similar causes beyond the control of the Contractor or the Commissioner in the performance of the Contract which non- performance, by exercise of reasonable diligence, cannot be prevented. Contractor shall provide the Commissioner with written notice of any force majeure occurrence as soon as the delay is known. Neither the Contractor nor the Commissioner shall be liable to the other for any delay in or failure of performance under the Contract due to a force majeure occurrence. Any such delay in or failure of performance shall not constitute default or give rise to any liability for damages. The existence of such causes of such delay or failure shall extend the period for performance to such extent as determined by the Contractor and the Commissioner to be necessary to enable complete performance by the Contractor if reasonable diligence is exercised after the cause of delay or failure has been removed. Notwithstanding the above, at the discretion of the Commissioner where the delay or failure will significantly impair the value of the Contract to the State or to Authorized Users, the Commissioner may: a. Accept allocated performance or deliveries from the Contractor. The Contractor, however, hereby agrees to grant preferential treatment to Authorized Users with respect to Product subjected to allocation; and/or b. Purchase from other sources (without recourse to and by the Contractor for the costs and expenses thereof) to replace all or part of the Products which are the subject of the delay, which purchases may be deducted from the Contract quantities without penalty or liability to the State; or c. Terminate the Contract or the portion thereof which is subject to delays, and thereby discharge any unexecuted portion of the Contract or the relative part thereof.

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.
