| I. |
AMENDMENTS
|
| 1. |
Section 21.4.1 shall be amended as follows:
|
| 21.4.1 |
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Contract, because the Parties have not completed the revision of the PMPM Payments by the expiration of the current rating period which ended on June 30, 2020 (the “Expired Rating Period”)
such that the new rating period must commence without revised PMPM Payments, then the following shall occur:
|
| 21.4.1.1 |
ASES shall continue to pay Contractors at the PMPM Payment rates that existed during the Expired Rating Period;
|
| 21.4.1.2 |
As soon as practicable, but in no event more than seventy seven (77) days following the expiration of the Expired Rating Period, or sooner if the revised PMPM Payments (“Updated PMPM Payments”) become available, the Parties shall
complete in good faith the review of the Updated PMPM Payments.
|
| 21.4.1.3 |
Following agreement upon the Updated PMPM Payments, the Parties shall execute an amendment to Attachment 11 of the Contract setting forth the Updated PMPM Payments. Such amendment and the Updated PMPM Payments shall be effective as of
July 1st, 2020 as if the Updated PMPM Payments had been agreed upon at the expiration of the Expired Rating Period, provided that,
|
| 21.4.1.3.1 |
Notwithstanding the foregoing, because Updated PMPM Payments are subject to CMS and the Financial Oversight and Management Board (“FOMB”) approval, ASES will continue to pay Contractors at the PMPM Payment rates that existed during the
Expired Rating Period until such time as CMS and the FOMB have approved the Updated PMPM Payments, and;
|
| 21.4.1.3.2 |
Within thirty (30) calendar days following CMS’s and the FOMB’s approval of the Updated PMPM Payments, the Parties shall begin to reconcile any difference between (i) PMPM Payments that ASES made to Contractors after the Expired Rating
Period and (ii) Updated PMPM Payments.
|
| II. |
RATIFICATION
|
All other terms and provisions of the original Contract, as amended by Contracts Number 2019- 000052A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J and K and of any and all documents incorporated by reference
therein, not specifically deleted or modified herein shall remain in full force and effect. The Parties hereby affirm their respective undertakings and representations as set forth therein, as of the date thereof. Capitalized terms used in this
Amendment, if any, shall have the same meaning assigned to such terms in the Contract.

EFFECT; CMS APPROVAL
