FHS may request and PPG shall terminate any Member Physician from participation under this Agreement, at any time, upon at least thirty (30) days prior written notice from FHS to PPG; provided, however, that no such termination shall be because a Member Physician is advocating on behalf of a Member for health care services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Member Physician is found guilty of a criminal offense, is barred or sanctioned from participation under the Medicare program, or if FHS makes a determination, at its sole discretion, that treatment by a Member Physician may jeopardize the health and safety of any Member, PPG, upon FHS’ request, shall immediately terminate such Member Physician from participation under this Agreement.

(g) The eligibility verification and notification procedures as set forth in the Operations Manual.

2.11 Non-Discrimination. PPG and Member Physicians shall not discriminate against any Member in the provision of Covered Services hereunder, on any basis including age, sex, marital status, sexual orientation, race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, disability, handicap, health status, source of payment, utilization of medical or mental health services or supplies, or other unlawful basis including without limitation, the filing by such Member of any complaint, grievance, appeal, or legal action against PPG. PPG and Member Physicians shall provide Covered Services in the same manner, and with the same availability, as services are rendered to its other patients.

2.12 Utilization/Care Management Program. PPG and Member Physicians agree to participate in and cooperate fully with the provisions and all decisions rendered in connection with FHS’ Utilization/Care Management Program. PPG and Member Physician agrees to render Covered Services at the most appropriate level of service (including levels of acute care such as intensive care unit services or regular acute medical and surgical services as determined by the clinical status of the Member) which can safely be provided to the Member.

For hospitalization, this means that the Member requires acute care as an inpatient due to the nature of the services the Member is receiving, or the severity of the Member’s condition, and that safe and adequate care cannot be received as an outpatient or at a less intensified medical setting. PPG and Member Physicians also agree to provide such records and other information as may be required or requested under such Utilization/Care Management Program as set forth in the Operations Manual. FHS may, at its sole discretion, delegate certain Utilization/Care Management Program activities. If so determined qualified and delegated by FHS, the obligations of PPG for delegation shall be as set forth herein.

2.13 Prior Authorization and Referrals. PPG and Member Physicians agree to comply with prior authorization and referral processes as required by the particular Benefit Program or Utilization/Care Management Program as set forth in the Operations Manual. In the event PPG agrees to participate in a program offered by another health plan, preferred provider organization, managed care organization, or insurer which includes an expedited process for referrals or authorizations, PPG agrees to participate in and offer the same access for FHS Members for any such program offered by FHS.

Prior authorizations or referrals may be issued by FHS, PPG, a Participating Provider, or Member Physician in accordance with the applicable Benefit Program. For non-emergent services, PPG or Participating Provider agrees to obtain prior authorization or a referral before providing or ordering Covered Services if required by the applicable Benefit Program. In an Emergency, PPG agrees to attempt to obtain prior authorization or a referral, by telephone if necessary, before providing or ordering Covered Services. If prior authorization or a referral cannot be obtained, PPG agrees to notify FHS and the appropriate Participating Provider, as soon as possible, but no later than twenty-four (24) hours after admission. In the even PPG fails to obtain an authorization or a referral, PPG agrees not to seek payment from FHS or a Payor for Contracted Services rendered to a Member unless prior authorization or a referral was obtained. FHS shall retain the right to authorize Emergency services in accordance with the Operations Manual.

2.14 Notification of Institutional Services. PPG shall notify FHS prior to or at the time of each admission of a Member to a hospital or skilled nursing facility whose admission is the financial responsibility of FHS. In the event of an Emergency admission, PPG shall notify FHS regarding such Member within twenty-four (24) hours.

2.15 Participating Providers. Except in an Emergency or as otherwise required by law, PPG shall refer Members only to Participating Providers for Covered Services unless such services are not reasonably available from Participating Provider. In the event PPG or a Member Physician refers a Member to a non-Participating Provider, PPG agrees to be responsible for payment of claims incurred for the Covered Services rendered by such non-Participating Provider, and PPG agrees to hold harmless the Member for such claims.

If FHS is obligated to pay for services which FHS determines are the financial responsibility of PPG or which it would not otherwise be obligated to pay, FHS shall have the right to deduct the cost of such services from any amounts due to PPG. FHS agrees not to deduct any amount as set forth in this Section without first giving PPG ten (10) days prior written notice during which time PPG shall have the opportunity to show cause why such amount should not be deducted by FHS.

2.16 Catastrophic Cases. PPG shall actively participate with FHS in managing Members with potentially catastrophic medical conditions including, but not limited to, Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) cases, organ transplantation, infants requiring intensive care, and burn cases.

PPG shall correct such deficiencies within that time period.

3.5 Timely Assignment of Members. FHS shall require Members to select a PCP and/or a participating physician group at the time of enrollment when required under a Benefit Program. FHS may assist Members in such selection by providing information, as determined by FHS, regarding PCPs and physician groups. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to require FHS to assign a minimum or maximum number of Members to PPG or to utilize PPG for any Members in the Service Area.

3.6 Reporting to Regulators. FHS shall accept sole responsibility for filing reports, obtaining approvals, and complying with the applicable laws and regulations of State, federal, and other regulatory agencies having jurisdiction over FHS; provided, however, that PPG agrees to cooperate in providing FHS with any information and assistance reasonably required in connection therewith.

3.7 Premiums. FHS shall collect all premiums, dues, Member payments, and other items of revenue to which FHS is entitled, except for Copayments and payments for non-Covered Services.

FHS shall provide PPG with various Operations Manuals which identify the methods of administration of this Agreement, including grievance and appeal procedures, Utilization/Care Management Programs, Quality Improvement Programs, encounter reporting procedures, and billing and accounting of Covered Services rendered hereunder. Updates to the Operations Manual will be made by FHS and, whenever possible, shall be sent to PPG for review thirty (30) days prior to implementation. Such updates shall not materially affect the compensation rates or financial responsibility of PPG under this Agreement.

3.10 Marketing Activities. FHS shall make reasonable efforts to market the Benefit Programs. Nothing in this Agreement shall require FHS to conduct any specific marketing activities on behalf of PPG or to identify PPG in any specific FHS marketing or informational materials.

IV. COMPENSATION

4.1 Compensation Rates. PPG and Member Physician shall accept as payment in full for Contracted Services and all other services rendered to Members under this Agreement the amounts payable by FHS or a Payor as set forth in the applicable Addendum to this Agreement. Except when PPG is paid Capitation, PPG may require Member Physicians to xxxx and accept compensation as payment in full. PPG shall xxxx and accept payment for Contracted Services rendered by Member Physicians, and be responsible for administering such funds and compensating Member Physicians therefrom. When PPG is paid Capitation, FHS reserves the right to create new benefit plans and to establish capitation rates for new benefit plans based on actuarial assumptions that are consistent with existing actuarial assumptions. FHS shall adjust the actuarial assumptions which support the rates in the applicable Addenda on a periodic basis, and shall advise PPG of any such adjustments in methodology. Capitation may also be adjusted in the event benefits are added or deleted from PPG Capitated Services.

4.2 Performance Incentives. In consideration of PPG offering an approved wellness program and their participation in the Quality of Care Improvement Program, or its successor, as defined in the Operations Manual, FHS shall reimburse PPG pursuant to the program set forth in the Operations Manual.

4.3 Billing and Payment.

(a) Billing. PPG shall submit to FHS via FHS electronic claims submission program or by hard copy, clean, complete and accurate claims for Contracted Services in accordance with the Operations Manual and the applicable Benefit Program, unless PPG is paid Capitation for such services. PPG shall submit claims within sixty (60) days of rendering Contracted Services. Where FHS is the secondary payor under Coordination of Benefits, such sixty (60) day period shall commence immediately after the primary payor has paid or denied the claim. In the event PPG is capitated and elects to purchase reinsurance from FHS, PPG shall submit reinsurance claims within sixty (60) calendar days of the end of the annual reinsurance period.

FHS shall not be under any obligation to pay PPG for any claim not timely submitted as set forth above. PPG shall not seek payment from any Member in the event FHS does not pay PPG for a claim not timely submitted.

(b) Payment. Unless a claim is disputed, FHS or a Payor shall pay PPG’s clean, complete, accurate and timely submitted claims for Contracted Services rendered to a Member, in accordance with applicable State and federal law.

(c) Adjustments and Appeals. PPG or Member Physicians shall submit requests for adjustments and/or appeals regarding claim payments to FHS within sixty (60) calendar days after the date of the payment of such claim to PPG or Member Physician. In the event PPG or Member Physician fails to appeal a claim within such time period, PPG or Member Physician shall not have the right to appeal such claim.

(d) Offsetting. FHS shall have the right to offset any amounts owed to FHS by PPG, including but not limited to, amounts owed by PPG under loans guaranteed by FHS, errors, or FHS interim payment for Contracted Services, including Capitation payments. Effective July 1, 1998 and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other contract to the contrary, only deficits in the shared risk programs which provide financial incentives for the control or management of Shared Risk Services’ expenses or utilization will neither be collected from PPG by FHS nor offset against PPG Capitation; provided however, that FHS shall not be restricted from (i) offsetting such deficits against payments to PPG including, but not limited to, surpluses from other shared risk programs, stop loss payments, bonus or other incentive program payments; (ii) establishing reasonable withholds from Capitation approved by DOC as set forth in the applicable Addendum to offset PPG

liability when the cost of Shared Risk Services exceed the Shared Risk Budget (Withhold Fund); or (iii) carrying forward such shared risk program deficits to be applied against future year’s program surpluses and Withhold Fund. Each PPG numbered site shall be calculated as a separate entity and any payments to or from PPG with multiple sites shall be net amount due/owed from all sites.

(e) Reciprocity. PPG shall cooperate and develop arrangements with FHS and Participating Providers to assure reciprocity of the rates for Covered Services for Members who are not assigned to PPG. FHS shall, where contractually available, provide reciprocity to FHS rates for Covered Services provided to PPG’s assigned Members. FHS shall adjudicate and pay such referred claims on behalf of PPG (at available reciprocity rates or, if reciprocity rates are unavailable, at rates negotiated in consultation with PPG), shall deduct the costs of such claims from PPG’s monthly Capitation, and shall provide PPG an accounting thereof.

PPG agrees that FHS may allow the compensation rates set forth in this Agreement to be used by other Participating Providers who may from time to time be responsible for compensating PPG for Covered Services rendered by PPG to a Member.

4.4 Reconciliation of Eligibility. In the event of a retroactive cancellation or addition of an HMO Member, FHS shall adjust Capitation accordingly. In the event Contracted Services are provided to an individual who is not a Member, based on an erroneous or delayed enrollment list or confirmation of enrollment of said individual by FHS, FHS shall be financially responsible for all such services provided by PPG prior to the time PPG received notice of that person’s ineligibility, except when the individual is enrolled in another health care service plan or insurance program from whom PPG or Participating Provider has or may receive capitation or other payment for the individual. In the event FHS is financially responsible, FHS shall pay PPG at the fee-for-service rates in Addendum E when PPG supplies FHS with evidence that it has unsuccessfully sought payment through two billing cycles for all or a portion of such charges from the patient, or the person having legal responsibility for the patient or the entity having financial responsibility for such payment. In the event FHS pays PPG pursuant to this Section, PPG shall have no further right and shall not attempt to collect any additional payment from the patient for said services and PPG shall be deemed to have transferred all legal rights of collection and Coordination of Benefits for services to FHS.

4.5 Extension of Benefit Members. When PPG is capitated, PPG’s Capitation for a Member who is or becomes eligible for coverage under the extension of benefits provisions of the Member’s Coverage Certificate shall be equal to the current amount for the plan type under which the Member is or was enrolled. PPG shall provide services to any Member who is totally disabled on the original date of the Member’s FHS coverage. In the event payment for such Contracted Services is obtained by FHS from a prior carrier as an extension of benefits, FHS shall reimburse PPG to the extent payment is received from the prior carrier.

4.6 Collection from Member. PPG shall collect all Copayments due from Members, and shall not waive or fail to pursue collection of Copayments from Members. PPG shall not charge a Member any fees or Surcharges for Covered Services rendered pursuant to this Agreement, except for authorized Copayments. In addition, PPG shall not collect a sales, use or other applicable tax from Members for the sale or delivery of Covered Services. If FHS receives notice of any additional charge, FHS shall take appropriate action. PPG may xxxx a Member for non-Covered Services rendered by PPG to such Member only if the Member is notified in advance that the services to be provided are not covered under the Member’s Benefit Program, and the Member requests in writing that PPG render the non-Covered Services, prior to PPG’s rendition of such services.

4.7 Member Held Harmless. PPG agrees that in no event, including, but not limited to, non-payment by FHS, insolvency of FHS, or breach of this Agreement, shall PPG xxxx, charge, collect a deposit from, seek compensation, remuneration, or reimbursement from, or have any recourse against Members, the State, or persons other than FHS for Covered Services provided pursuant to this Agreement. This provision shall not

prohibit collection of Copayments or any amounts due for services which are determined not to be Covered Services in accordance with the terms of the applicable Benefit Program.

PPG further agrees that: (a) this provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement regardless of the cause giving rise to termination and shall be construed to be for the benefit of Members; and (b) this provision supersedes any oral or written contrary agreement existing or hereafter entered into between PPG and Members or persons acting on their behalf. Any modification, addition, or deletion of or to the provisions of this clause shall be effective on a date no earlier than fifteen (15) days after the State regulatory agency has received written notice of such proposed change and has approved such change.

4.8 Coordination of Benefits. PPG agrees to conduct Coordination of Benefits in accordance with the policies and procedures in the Operations Manual, including but not limited to, the prompt notification to FHS of any third party entity who may be responsible for payment and collection of Copayments. PPG shall not xxxx Members for any portion of Contracted Services not paid by the primary carrier when FHS is the secondary carrier, but shall seek payment from FHS. When FHS is secondary under the Coordination of Benefit rules, FHS shall pay PPG only those amounts which, when added to the amount paid to PPG from other sources, equals the amount due to PPG under this Agreement in the absence of other sources of payment. Any legal right to collection of overpayments from FHS which may occur under this Section shall be deemed to be transferred from PPG to FHS if PPG has been paid in full according to the primary carrier’s contracted rate. PPG shall report on a monthly basis, the nature and extent of all Coordination of Benefits recoveries for services rendered by PPG under this Agreement. Such recoveries shall be performed in accordance with the applicable Evidence of Coverage and FHS’ policies set forth in the Operations Manual.

4.9 Third Party Recoveries, Worker’s Compensation. In the event PPG provides services to FHS Members for injuries resulting from the acts of third parties, or resulting from work related injuries, PPG shall have the right to recover from any settlement, award, or recovery from any responsible third-party the value of Covered Services rendered pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Coverage Certificate except as specifically stated otherwise in the Operations Manual. PPG shall notify FHS of any third party payor and shall, upon request from FHS, provide FHS with an accounting of all such sums recovered.

4.10 Audit of Claims. FHS shall have the right to review and audit any claims and to reconcile any amounts accordingly.

4.11 Reinsurance. For selected Benefit Programs, FHS shall provide certain stop loss and reinsurance programs designed to protect the PPG from excessive financial risk. Such programs are specified in the applicable Addendum. FHS shall charge PPG a premium in consideration for these programs. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, FHS may adjust the premium and thresholds for such programs by providing sixty (60) days prior written notice to PPG.

PPG may elect not to participate in certain stop loss and reinsurance programs effective the first day of any calendar year provided that PPG provides written notice to FHS at least sixty (60) calendar days prior to the beginning of the calendar year that PPG shall not participate in the stop loss program and specifies the name of the third party insurance carrier and proposed effective date, coverage levels and charges. In such event, PPG shall be required to obtain stop loss coverage in the amounts required by FHS and State and federal law from a third party insurance carrier acceptable to FHS. If FHS does not object to such coverage in writing within fifteen (15) days of the date of the notice, PPG shall be required to purchase such coverage as of the effective date specified in the notice. If such notice is not received when due or if coverage levels are not acceptable, FHS shall automatically enroll PPG in its programs to afford protection effective on the first day of the calendar year.

PPG shall submit claims under the applicable stop loss and reinsurance programs in accordance

with the procedures set forth in the Operations Manual but no later than sixty (60) calendar days following the end of the calendar year. For purposes of calculating stop loss and reinsurance thresholds, the following shall apply: (i) for PPG and Member Physicians, the compensation schedule set forth in Addendum E shall be utilized; (ii) for any other Provider who is subcontracted to PPG, such subcontract rates shall be utilized; (iii) for a Participating Provider who is not subcontracted with PPG but is contracted with FHS. FHS’ contract rate shall be utilized; or (iv) the actual charges paid by PPG when none of the above applies. FHS shall compensate PPG for claims in excess of the stop loss threshold at *** of the fee-for-service rates in Addendum E unless otherwise provided for in an applicable Addendum, less applicable Copayments, coinsurance, deductibles and payments from third parties or Coordination of Benefits.

V. DELEGATION

5.1 Delegation of Certain Functions. If qualified, as determined by FHS, PPG shall accept delegation of and perform such utilization management, quality improvement, credentialing and recredentialing, Member grievance and appeal, medical record review, and capitation and claims adjudication functions, in accordance with the performance standards and criteria of FHS as set forth in the Operations Manual. PPG shall ensure the timely payment of Covered Services rendered by referral health professionals and shall perform such claims processing in accordance with applicable Benefit Program and Operations Manual.

5.2 Termination of Delegation. FHS shall have the right to audit PPG’s performance of utilization management, quality improvement, credentialing and recredentialing, Member grievance and appeal, medical record review, and capitation and claims adjudication functions from time to time. If FHS determines that deficiencies exist in PPG’s performance, PPG shall accept consulting assistance from FHS. Failure to cure any identified deficiencies within a reasonable period of time as defined by FHS policies, or if FHS determines PPG does not have the ability to perform delegated functions, or is not effectively performing delegated functions, FHS may revoke delegation of all or any of these functions in accordance with procedures set forth in the Operations Manual and re-assume the performance of such functions itself. Should it become necessary for FHS to reassume delegated functions, FHS shall charge the following administrative fees: utilization management *** of PPG Capitation; quality improvement *** of PPG Capitation; claims processing *** of PPG Capitation.

VI. TERM AND TERMINATION

6.1 Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the date set forth on the first page of this Agreement and shall continue for a period of thirty six (36) months. This Agreement shall automatically renew for successive one year periods on the annual renewal date, unless terminated as set forth herein. The term of this Agreement shall remain the same for all Benefit Programs covered hereunder.

6.2 Without Cause Termination. Either party may terminate this Agreement at the scheduled renewal date upon one hundred twenty (120) days prior written notice to the other party. In the event FHS provides PPG with such notice, FHS may, at its option, begin to transition Members immediately under this Agreement to another Participating Provider after such notice.

6.3 Immediate Termination. FHS may terminate this Agreement immediately upon notice to PPG, in the event of: (a) PPG’s violation of any applicable law, rule or regulation; (b) PPG’s failure to maintain the professional liability insurance coverage specified hereunder; (c) PPG’s failure to comply with the terms, conditions

or determinations of any Utilization/Care Improvement Program or Quality Improvement Program, or Benefit Program; or, (d) FHS’ determination that the health, safety or welfare of any Member may be in jeopardy if this Agreement is not terminated.

6.4 Termination for Failure to Pay.

PPG may not terminate this Agreement after giving such notice unless, PPG has first made itself available to meet with FHS to attempt in good faith to resolve the matter.

6.5 Termination Due to Material Breach Other Than Non-Payment. Except as set forth in above, in the event that either PPG or FHS fails to cure a material breach of this Agreement within thirty (30) days of receipt of written notice of such breach from the other party, the non-defaulting party may terminate this Agreement. If the breach is cured within such thirty (30) day period, or if the breach is one which cannot reasonably be corrected within thirty (30) days, and the non-defaulting party determines that the defaulting party is making substantial and diligent progress toward correction during such thirty (30) day period, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

6.6 Termination of an Affiliate.

Compensation for such Contracted Services shall be at the rates contained in the applicable Addendum. Termination of this Agreement shall not affect any right or obligations hereunder which shall have previously accrued, or shall thereafter arise with respect to any occurrence prior to termination, and such rights and obligations shall continue to be governed by the terms of this Agreement.

6.8 Termination Withhold from Capitation. In the event either party gives the other party notice of termination as set forth in this Article, FHS may, at its sole discretion, withhold up to one-third of each of the final three months of Capitation due PPG. If FHS exercises its option to transition HMO Members prior to the end of the termination notice period, FHS may withhold the entire last month’s Capitation. FHS may use such funds to offset any PPG liability to FHS or for payment of PPG Capitated Services on behalf of PPG. FHS shall pay PPG simple interest on all funds withheld as set forth in this Section at the interest rate per annum which shall be the lower of five percent (5%) or the prime interest rate, e.g. the base rate on corporate loans posted by at least seventy five percent (75%) of the nation’s thirty largest banks, as of the last business day in December of the prior contract year. PPG understands and agrees that a decision by FHS to withhold any Capitation shall not relieve PPG of its obligations to perform under this Agreement All amounts withheld by FHS and all interest accrued on such amounts as set forth in this Section shall be included in any calculations regarding a final settlement between the parties.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event FHS decides to withhold Capitation from PPG as set forth in this Section, FHS may, upon three days prior written notice to PPG, administer or oversee all or part of PPG Capitated Services oh behalf of PPG.

Within one hundred eighty (180) calendar days of the effective date of termination of this Agreement, an accounting shall be made by FHS of the monies due and owing either party and payment shall be forthcoming by the appropriate party to settle such balance within thirty (30) calendar days of such accounting. PPG may request an independent audit of such FHS accounting. Such audit may be performed by a mutually acceptable independent certified public accountant and shall be paid for solely by PPG. In the event such independent audit results in findings different from FHS’s findings, the parties shall meet and confer to resolve such differences.

VII. RECORDS, AUDITS AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS

7.1 Medical and Other Records. PPG shall prepare and maintain all medical and other books and records required by law in accordance with the general standards applicable. PPG shall maintain such records for at least seven (7) years after the rendering of Contracted Services and records of a minor child shall be kept for at least one (1) year after the minor has reached the age of eighteen (18), but in no event less than seven (7) years. Additionally, PPG shall maintain such financial, administrative and other records as may be necessary for compliance by FHS with all applicable local, State, and federal laws, rules and regulations. PPG agrees to submit upon request such reports and financial information as is necessary for FHS to comply with regulatory requirements to monitor the financial viability of PPG.

7.3 Continuing Obligation. The obligations of PPG under this Article shall not be terminated upon termination of this Agreement, whether by rescission or otherwise. After termination of this Agreement, FHS and Payors shall continue to have access to the other party’s records as necessary to fulfill the requirements of this Agreement and to comply with all applicable taws, rules and regulations.

VIII. GENERAL PROVISIONS

8.1 Amendments. Except as provided herein, FHS and PPG may only amend this Agreement by written mutual consent. Amendments required because of legislative, regulatory or legal requirements do not require the consent of PPG or FHS and will be effective immediately on the effective date thereof. Any amendment to this Agreement requiring prior approval of or notice to any federal or State regulatory agency shall not become effective until all necessary approvals have been granted or all required notice periods have expired.

8.2 Separate Obligations. The rights and obligations of under this Agreement shall apply to each Affiliate listed on Addendum A to this Agreement only with respect to the Benefit Programs of such Affiliate. No

such Affiliate shall be responsible for the obligations of any other Affiliate under this Agreement with respect to the other Affiliate’s Benefit Programs. The person executing this Agreement has been duly authorized by each Affiliate to execute this Agreement on such Affiliates behalf. In no event shall FHS or any FHS Affiliate be responsible for any payment which is the financial responsibility of a Payor and PPG shall seek compensation for such services only from Payor.

8.3 Assignment. Neither party shall assign its rights nor delegate its duties and obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party; provided, however FHS shall have the right to automatically assign this Agreement to any entity which controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with FHS. PPG agrees to provide prior written notice to FHS of its intent to either sell, transfer or convey its business assets to another entity or enter into a management contract with a physician practice management entity which does not manage PPG as of the effective date of this Agreement.

In the event PPG (1) files a petition in bankruptcy, makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors or has a petition in bankruptcy filed against it, a receiver or trustee appointed over its assets, or an attachment, seizure, lien or levy made against a substantial portion of its assets; or (2) becomes otherwise incapable, as determined by FHS of performing basic functions associated with operating a medical group or performing its duties and responsibilities under this Agreement, including but not limited to, claims payment, medical management, and quality assurance then, PPG agrees to make full assignment (not including any delegation of prior obligations) of its provider contracts to FHS. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to mean that PPG cannot or shall not contract or re-contract with the same physicians, medical groups and ancillary providers for other lines of business and/or for the same lines of business with other health plans-which rights are hereby expressly retained by PPG.

8.4 Confidentiality. FHS and PPG agree to hold all confidential or proprietary information or trade secrets of each other in trust and confidence and agree that such information shall be used only for the purposes contemplated herein, and not for any other purpose. Specifically, PPG acknowledges that the names, addresses and other identifying information concerning Members and employers and other groups contracting with FHS constitute confidential information which derives independent economic value from not being generally known or readily accessible to others who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use. FHS acknowledges that the names, contracts, addresses, and other information concerning Member Physicians, employees and other providers and other groups contracting with PPG constitute proprietary information of PPG. FHS shall use such information only as necessary and appropriate for the performance of its obligations under this Agreement. In the event FHS could obtain such information from a source other than PPG, such information shall not be proprietary to PPG. Neither PPG, a Member Physician, nor FHS shall disclose the terms of this Agreement except as may be required by law; provided, however, nothing herein shall prohibit PPG or a Member Physician from disclosing to a Member any information the PPG or Member Physician determines is relevant to the Member’s care including the basic method of reimbursement and whether financial bonuses or incentives are used.

8.5 Provider Dispute Resolution Procedure. FHS has established a Provider Dispute Resolution Procedure under which PPG may submit disputes to FHS. The Provider Dispute Resolution Procedure which contains the procedures for processing and resolving such disputes including the location and telephone number where information regarding disputes may be submitted, is set forth in the Operations Manual. Any provider dispute which is not resolved informally through the Provider Dispute Resolution Procedure may be submitted for arbitration as provided in Section 8.6 below.

8.6 Binding Arbitration. PPG and FHS agree to meet and confer in good faith to resolve any problems or disputes that may arise under this Agreement. Such good faith meet and confer shall be a condition precedent to the filing of any arbitration demand by either party. In addition, should the parties, prior to submitting a dispute to arbitration, desire to utilize other impartial dispute settlement techniques such as mediation

or fact-finding, a joint request for such services may be made to the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”), or the parties may initiate such other procedures as they may mutually agree upon at such time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein is intended to require arbitration of disputes for medical malpractice between a Member and the PPG.

The parties further agree that any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach thereof, whether involving a claim in tort, contract, or otherwise, shall be settled by final and binding arbitration, upon the motion of either party, to arbitration under the appropriate rules of the AAA or JAMS, as agreed by the parties. The arbitration shall be conducted in Sacramento, Los Angeles, or San Francisco, California by a single, neutral arbitrator who is licensed to practice law. The written demand shall contain a detailed statement of the matter and facts and include copies of all related documents supporting the demand. Arbitration must be initiated within six (6) months after the alleged controversy or claim occurred by submitting a written demand to the other party. The failure to initiate arbitration within that period shall mean the complaining party shall be barred forever from initiating such proceedings.

All such arbitration proceedings shall be administered by the AAA or JAMS, as agreed by the parties; however, the arbitrator shall be bound by applicable state and federal law, and shall issue a written opinion setting forth findings of fact and conclusions of law. The parties agree that the decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding as to each of them. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall have no authority to make material errors of law or to award punitive damages or to add to, modify, or refuse to enforce any agreements between the parties. The arbitrator shall make findings of fact and conclusions of law and shall have no authority to make any award which could not have been made by a court of law. The party against whom the award is rendered shall pay any monetary award and/or comply with any other order of the arbitrator within sixty (60) days of the entry of judgment on the award, or take an appeal pursuant to the provisions of the California Civil Code. The parties waive their right to a jury or court trial.

In all cases submitted to arbitration, the parties agree to share equally the administrative fee as well as the arbitrator’s fee, if any, unless otherwise assessed by the arbitrator. The administrative fees shall be advanced by the initiating party subject to final apportionment by the arbitrator in this award.

8.7 Indemnification of Parties.

(a) PPG agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless FHS, its agents, officers, and employees from and against any and all liability expense including defense costs and legal fees incurred in connection with claims for damages of any nature whatsoever, including but not limited to, bodily injury, death, personal injury, or property damage arising from PPG’s performance or failure to perform its obligations hereunder.

(b) FHS agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless PPG, its agents, officers, and employees from and against any and all liability expense, including defense costs and legal fees incurred in connection with claims for damages of any nature whatsoever, including but not limited to, bodily injury, death, personal injury, or property damage arising from FHS’ performance or failure to perform its obligations hereunder.

8.8 Status as Independent Entities. None of the provisions of this Agreement is intended to create or shall be deemed or construed to create any relationship between PPG and FHS other than that of independent entities contracting with each other solely for the purpose of effecting the provisions of this Agreement.

ADDENDUM C

MEDICARE HEALTH MAINTENANCE ORGANIZATION (HMO) AND MEDICARE POINT OF SERVICE (POS) BENEFIT PROGRAMS

PPG understands and agrees that the obligations of FHS set forth in this Addendum are only the obligations of Health Net (hereafter “HMO”) and not the obligations of FHS or any other Affiliate of FHS. PPG shall be compensated according to this Addendum B and this Addendum shall be applicable to only those Medicare HMO and Medicare POS Members listed on the applicable Capitation remittance summaries. Pursuant to Section 8.18, Entire Agreement, PPG understands and agrees that the compensation and provisions under the agreement between PPG and the entity formerly known as Foundation Health, a California Health Plan, are applicable to those Medicare HMO and Medicare POS Member listed on the Foundation Health capitation remittance summary, and that the Foundation Health agreement shall remain in full force and effect for those Members until such time those Members are no longer enrolled in Foundation Health Benefit Programs.

2. Medicare Enrollment Area. The area approved by HCFA and the State regulatory agency as the area in which HMO may market and enroll Medicare HMO and Medicare POS Members. At any given time during the term of this Agreement, the Medicare Enrollment Area consists of the list of zip codes currently approved by HCFA and/or the State regulatory agency as the Medicare Enrollment Area. (This is not the area for which PPG shall be responsible for “in-area” services.)

3. Monthly Revenue. The amount equal to the sum of the applicable HCFA payment, the county premium, if any, less specific amounts withheld to cover the actual cost of supplemental benefits that are not PPG Capitated Services, including but not limited to, pharmacy, vision, and dental benefits, commissions, or taxes, if any, as set forth in Addendum C, plus POS premium, if any. The withhold amounts shall be revised annually and Capitation adjustments made accordingly.

B. MEDICARE HMO BENEFIT PROGRAMS.

PPG shall render Contracted Services to Members for occupational illnesses and injuries covered such Benefit Programs. FHS shall provide PPG with a listing of all such Payors, as updated from time to time by FHS, including those Payors for whom FHS serves only in an administrative capacity. The listing shall include the Payors’ utilization management administrator and claims administrator when such is not FHS.

A. COMPENSATION.

1. Billing and Payment. As compensation for the delivery of Contracted Services, limited as described above, PPG shall be paid in accordance with the rates set forth below. Such compensation shall be paid within the time and subject to the billing requirements set forth in Section 3.2 of the Agreement. The above notwithstanding, for self-insured and other such Payors, FHS shall not be obligated to pay all or any portion of any PPG claim, as allowed by applicable law, unless and until FHS has received sufficient funds from the applicable Payor to cover such claim. Physician claims shall be coded and submitted according to the Official California Workers’ Compensation Medical Fee Schedule (Fee Schedule).

2. Rates. Reimbursements under the Agreement shall be the lessor of: (a) the physician’s usual and customary charges (“UCR”); (b) *** of the Fee Schedule adopted by the State of California department of Industrial Relations, Division of Workers’ Compensation; or (c) the allowable charge based on the Medicare Resource Based Relative Value Scale (RBRVS) unit values and HCFA Geographical Practice Cost Indices.

“By report” procedures, unlisted procedures and relativities not established in RBRVS shall be subject to FHS’ review and based upon relative complexity shall be assigned a unit value and subsequently reimbursed in accordance with the HCFA Cost Indices. If a unit value cannot be reasonably determined, reimbursement shall be at 60% of billed charges.

B. OTHER DUTIES

1. Requirement for Eligibility Verification and Service Authorization. The applicable Occupationally Ill/Injured or Workers’ Compensation Utilization/Care Improvement Programs may require PPG to: (a) verify Member eligibility to receive Contracted Services; (b) verify that the Member’s injury or disease has been determined to “arise out of and in the course of employment”; (c) determine the requested treatment is Medically Necessary to cure and relieve the work-related condition; and (d) obtain a referral or prior authorization to provide Contracted Services prior to rendering such services. PPG agrees to comply with all requirements. FHS shall advise PPG of all applicable Utilization/Care Improvement Program requirements.

ADDENDUM H.1

OCCUPATIONALLY ILL/INJURED OR WORKERS’ COMPENSATION RATE SCHEDULE

Physician claims shall be coded and submitted according to the Official California Workers’ Compensation Medical Fee Schedule (Fee Schedule). Reimbursements under the Agreement shall be the lesser of: (a) the physician’s usual and customary charges (“UCR”); (b) *** Schedule adopted by the State of California Department of Industrial Relations, Division of Workers’ Compensation; or (c) the allowable charges based on the Medicare Resource Based Relative Value Scale (RBRVS) unit values and HCFA Geographical Practice Cost Indices as published in the most current published edition of the Federal Register.

HCFA Has not developed a geographically adjusted fee schedule for anesthesiology. Anesthesiology is reimbursed based upon CPT-4 codes. FHS is following HCFA guidelines for Anesthesiology (American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) guidelines). The HCFA conversion factor will be multiplied by an adjustment factor to equate reimbursement to *** per unit.

For “by report” procedures, procedures not listed, or procedures with relativities established in RBRVS, PPG will be compensated at sixty percent (60%) of PPG’s billed charges not to exceed usual, reasonable, and customary charges, less any applicable Copayment. Usual, reasonable, and customary means the usual charge made by a physician or supplier of services, medicines, or supplies and will not exceed the general level of charges made by others rendering or furnishing such services, medicines, or supplies within an area in which the charge is incurred for sickness or injuries comparable in severity and nature to the sickness or injury being treated. The term “area” as it would apply to any particular service, medicine or supply means a county or such greater areas as is necessary to obtain a representative cross section of level of charges.

Unlisted procedures shall be subject to FHS' review and, based upon relative complexity, shall be assigned a unit value and subsequently reimbursed in accordance with the above conversion factors. RBRVS is updated and modified from time to time.
