Common use of Suspension of Participation Clause in Contracts

Suspension of Participation. Unless expressly prohibited by applicable Regulatory Requirements, Health Plan has the right to immediately suspend or terminate the participation of a Contracted Provider in any or all Products by giving written notice thereof to Provider when Health Plan determines that (i) based upon available information, the continued participation of the Contracted Provider appears to constitute an immediate threat or risk to the health, safety or welfare of Covered Persons, or (ii) the Contracted Provider’s fraud, malfeasance or non-compliance with Regulatory Requirements is reasonably suspected. Provider shall immediately notify the affected Contracted Provider of such suspension. During such suspension, the Contracted Provider shall, as directed by Health Plan, discontinue the provision of all or a particular Covered Service to Covered Persons. During the term of any suspension, the Contracted Provider shall notify Covered Persons that his or her status as a Participating Provider has been suspended. Such suspension will continue until the Contracted Provider’s participation is reinstated or terminated.
