1.
|
Duties
of Contractor
|
The
Contractor shall provide the following services relative to this
Contract:
A.
|
The
Contractor agrees to assume financial risk for developing and managing
a
health care delivery system and for arranging or administering
all Hoosier
Healthwise covered services except
as
set out in section 2.3 and 2.5 of Attachment D of the RFS and services
provided as part of an individualized education plan (IEP) pursuant
to the
Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) at 20 U.S.C.
1400
et
seq.,
in exchange for a per-enrollee, per-month fixed fee, to certain
enrollees
in Hoosier Healthwise Packages A, B and C. Wards of the State,
xxxxxx
children and children receiving adoption assistance may enroll
on a
voluntary basis and will not be subject to auto-assignment into
the
Hoosier Healthwise program. The Contractor must, at a minimum,
furnish
covered services up to the limits specified by the Medicaid and
CHIP
programs. The Contractor may exceed these limits. However, in no
instance
may any covered service's limitations be more restrictive than
those which
exist in the Indiana Medicaid fee-for-service program for Packages
A and
B, and the Children's Health Insurance Program for Package
C.
|
B.
|
The
Contractor agrees to perform all duties and arrange and administer
the
provision of all services as set out herein and contained in the
RFS as
attached and the Contractor's responses to the RFS as attached,
all of
which are incorporated into this Contract by reference. In addition,
the
Contractor shall comply with all policies and procedures defined
in any
bulletin, manual, or handbook yet to be distributed by the State
or its
agents insofar as those policies and procedures are adopted in
a manner
consistent with the Office's customary practice relative to the
establishment of Medicaid policies. The Contractor agrees to comply
with
all pertinent state and federal statutes and regulations in effect
throughout the duration of this Contract and as they may be amended
from
time to time.
|
C.
|
The
Contractor agrees that it will not discriminate against individuals
eligible to be covered under this Contract on the basis of health
status
or need for health services; and the Contractor may not terminate
an
enrollee's enrollment, or act to encourage an enrollee to terminate
his/her enrollment because of an adverse change in the enrollee's
health.
The disenrollment function will be carried out by a State contractor
who
is independent of the Contractor; therefore, any request to terminate
an
enrollee's enrollment must be approved by the Offices. Once an
enrollee
reaches $2,000,000 in medical costs within a calendar year, Contractor
shall notify the Office and provide documentation of the medical
costs and
reinsurance payments. For enrollees who reach the $2,000,000 annual
maximum, the Office will approve the member's
disenrollment.
|
D.
|
The
Contractor agrees that no services or duties owed by the Contractor
under
this Contract will be performed or provided by any person or entity
other
than the Contractor, except as contained in written subcontracts
or other
legally binding agreements. Prior to entering into any such subcontract
or
other legally binding agreement, the Contractor shall, in each
case,
submit the proposed subcontract or other legally binding agreement
to the
Offices for prior review and approval, provided, however, provider
subcontracts may be entered into without prior review and approval
if the
form of such provider contract has been reviewed and approved by
the
Office and complies with Section 1.E.. Prior review and approval
of a
subcontract or legally binding agreement shall not be unreasonably
delayed
by the Offices. The Offices shall, in appropriate cases and as
requested
by the Contractor, expedite the review and approval process. Under
no
circumstances shall the Contractor be deemed to have breached its
obligations under this Contract if such breach was a result of
the
Offices' failure to review and approve timely any proposed subcontract
or
other legally binding agreement. If the Offices disapprove any
proposed
subcontract or other legally binding agreement, the Offices shall
state
with reasonable particularity the basis for such disapproval. No
subcontract into which the Contractor enters with respect to performance
under this Contract shall in any way relieve the Contractor of
any
responsibility for the performance of duties under this Contract.
All
subcontracts and amendments thereto executed by the Contractor
under this
Contract must meet the following requirements; any existing subcontracts
or legally binding agreements which fail to meet the following
requirements shall be revised to include the requirements within

pertain to
legislative inquiries or expedited inquiries from the Office of
the
Governor, the additional compilations and reports shall be submitted
by

or its
subcontractors, to comply with response time frames shall be considered
grounds for the Offices to pursue the provisions outlined in Section

are a
consequence of a delay by the Offices or the Medicaid Fiscal Agent,
the
time frame for submission shall be extended by the length of time

it nor
its principals nor any of its subcontractors are presently debarred,
suspended, proposed for debarment, declared ineligible, or voluntarily
excluded from entering into this Contract by any federal agency
or by any

|
15.
|

|
If
the

16.
|
Disputes
|
A.
|
Should
any disputes arise with respect to this Contract, the Contractor
and the
State agree to act immediately to resolve such disputes. Time is
of the
essence in the resolution of
disputes.
|
B.
|
The
Contractor agrees that, the existence of a dispute notwithstanding,
it
will continue without delay to carry out all its responsibilities
under
this Contract that are not affected by the dispute. Should the
Contractor
fail to continue to perform its responsibilities regarding all
non-disputed work, without delay, any additional costs incurred
by the
State or the Contractor as a result of such failure to proceed
shall be
borne by the Contractor, and the Contractor shall make no claim
against
the State for such costs. If the State and the Contractor cannot
resolve a
dispute within ten (10) working days following notification in
writing by
either party of the existence of a dispute, then the following
procedure
shall apply:
|
1.
|
The
parties agree to resolve such matters through submission of their
dispute
to the Commissioner of the Indiana Department of Administration.
The
Commissioner shall reduce a decision to writing and mail or otherwise
furnish a copy thereof to the Contractor and the State within ten
(10)
working days after presentation of such dispute for action. The
Commissioner's decision shall be final and conclusive unless either
party
mails or otherwise furnishes to the Commissioner, within ten (10)
working
days after receipt of the Commissioner's decision, a written appeal.
Within ten (10) working days of receipt by the Commissioner of
a written
request for appeal, the decision may be reconsidered. If no
reconsideration is provided within ten (10) working days, the parties
may
mutually agree to submit the dispute to arbitration for a determination,
or otherwise either party may submit the dispute to an Indiana
court of
competent jurisdiction.
|
2.
|
The
State may withhold payments on disputed items pending resolution
of the
dispute. The unintentional nonpayment by the State to the Contractor
of
one or more invoices not in dispute in accordance with the terms
of this
Contract will not by itself be cause for Contractor to terminate
this
Contract, and the Contractor may bring suit to collect these amounts
without following the disputes procedure contained
herein.

CONTRACT
ATTACHMENT B
PAY
FOR PERFORMANCE AND CONTRACT COMPLIANCE
Except
as
defined below or the context requires otherwise, all capitalized terms shall
have the meanings ascribed to them in the Contract.
A.
|
Pay
for Performance
Program
|
1. Program
Establishment and Eligibility.
The
Office has established a pay for performance program under which Contractor
may
receive additional compensation if certain conditions are met. Participation
in
the pay for performance program by Contractor is subject to Contractor's
complete and timely satisfaction of its obligations under the Contract,
including but not limited to all data reporting obligations. In furtherance
of
the foregoing and not by limitation, in the event Contractor has been subject
to
any of the following corrective actions (administered pursuant to the Contract)
as a result of its failure to perform or non-compliance under the Contract,
Contractor shall lose eligibility for participation in the program:
a. The
Office has suspended, in whole or in part, capitation payments or enrollment
to
the Contractor;
b. The
Office has assigned, in whole or in part, the membership and responsibilities
of
Contractor to another participating managed care plan contractor;
c. The
Office has assumed or appointed temporary management with respect to the
Contractor;
d. The
Contract has been terminated; or
e. Pursuant
to the Contract including without limitation this Attachment, the Office
has
assessed liquidated damages against Contractor, in relation to its performance
under the Contract more than four times during the measurement
year.
The
Office may, at its option, reinstate Contractor's eligibility for participation
in the pay for performance program once Contractor has properly cured all
prior
instances of non-compliance of its obligations under the Contract, and the
Office has satisfactory assurances of acceptable future
performance.
2. Bonus
Potential.
Contractor may be eligible to receive a bonus based on performance in an
amount
not to exceed one-half of one percent (0.5%) of the capitation revenue paid
to
Contractor during the measurement year.
3. Priority
Areas and Data Submission.
The
Office has identified the following priority areas for performance improvement,
and the items denoted by an asterisk will be measured during calendar year
2007
for purposes of determining any performance bonus:
a.
|
Appropriate
emergency room utilization
|
b.
|
Frequency
of Ongoing Prenatal Care*
|
c.
|
Well
Child Visits*
|
d.
|
Blood
lead screening*
|
e.
|
Behavioral
health and physical health
coordination.
|
Contractor
shall submit information to the Office, in the format and detail specified
by
the Office, with respect to each of these priority areas. It is the Office's
expectation that the Contractor's 2008 HEDIS report (where 2007 is the
measurement year) will include the information with respect to items (a)
through
(c) above. The Office will identify to Contractor the reporting requirements
as
respects items (d) and (e) above as part of its normal process for communicating
quality improvement program initiatives and reporting requirements.
4. Performance
Measures.
The
performance measures for calendar year 2007 and the amount of the bonus
allocable to each measure are set out below:
PERFORMANCE

|
b.

The

Contract.
5. Performance
Targets.
The
performance targets for calendar year 2007 are the following:
a.
|
Frequency
of Ongoing Prenatal Care
(>=81%):
|
If
Contractor's 2007 measurement year rate is at or above the base line of 50th
percentile and below the 75th
percentile of NCQA Medicaid (2006), twenty percent (20%) of allocable
bonus.
If
Contractor's 2007 measurement year rate is at or above the 75th
percentile of NCQA Medicaid (2006) and below the 90th
percentile of NCQA Medicaid (2006), seventy percent (70%) of allocable
bonus.
If
Contractor's 2007 measurement year rate is at or above the 90th
percentile of NCQA Medicaid (2006), one hundred percent (100%) of allocable
bonus.
b.
|
Well
Child Visits (3-6 yrs):
|
If
Contractor's 2007 measurement year rate is at or above the base line of
50th
percentile and below the 75th
percentile of NCQA Medicaid (2006), twenty percent (20%) of allocable
bonus.
If
Contractor's 2007 measurement year rate is at or above the 75th
percentile of NCQA Medicaid (2006) and below the 90th
percentile of NCQA Medicaid (2006), seventy percent (70%) of allocable
bonus.
If
Contractor's 2007 measurement year rate is at or above the 90th
percentile of NCQA Medicaid (2006), one hundred percent (100%) of allocable
bonus.
c.
|
Blood
Lead Screening:
|
If
Contractor's 2007 measurement year rate is at or above 30% and below 35%,
eighty-five percent (85%) of allocable bonus.
If
Contractor's 2007 measurement year rate is at or above 35%, one hundred percent
(100%) of allocable bonus.
The
performance targets and bonus opportunities applicable during subsequent
years
of the Contract will be established annually by the Office and reflected
in an
amendment to the Contract.
6. Timing
of Bonus Payment.
The
Office will distribute a report identifying Contractor's performance during
calendar year 2007 and the amount of bonus earned as respects each performance
measure for such year by October 1, 2008. Payment will be distributed to
Contractor, subject to Section 7 below, by October 31, 2008.
7. Conditions
to Bonus Payment.
The
Office will not have any obligation to distribute bonus payments to Contractor
if the Office has made a determination that Contractor is not eligible to
participate in the pay for performance program, as described in Section 1
above.
In addition to the foregoing and not by limitation, the Office will not have
any
obligation to distribute bonus payments to Contractor unless Contractor has
furnished to the Office an acceptable plan for distributing fifty percent
(50%)
of the bonus to the Contractor's health care providers and Contractor's Hoosier
Healthwise members. The plan for distribution of the bonus must specifically
include a performance-based incentive system for high volume PMPs. As used
herein, high volume PMPs are the top ten percent (10%) of the Contractor's
PMPs
based on member enrollment. All plans for distributing payment to providers
and
members must be consistent with state and federal law and approved by the
Office
prior to payment being made hereunder.
8. Disposition
of Undistributed Bonus Funds.
In the
event the maximum amount of the bonus available to all managed care plan
contractors is not earned and distributed based on the performance of Contractor
and/or other managed care plan contractors, the Office will retain the
difference (hereinafter referred to as the "undistributed bonus funds").
The
Office will provide quality service award payments to Contractor and other
managed care plan contractors from the undistributed bonus funds subject
to the
conditions set forth in Section 7 above. Any such quality service award payments
will be based on performance in other areas, including without limitation,
those
priority areas described in Section 3 above for which performance targets
were
not established (e.g., appropriate emergency room utilization; behavioral
health
and physical health coordination); number of provider and member complaints
handled; overall HEDIS scores; PMP access; timeliness of claim payment; and
clinical initiatives. In addition to the foregoing and not by limitation,
the
Office may distribute a portion of the undistributed bonus funds to Contractor
and other managed care plan contractors, subject to the conditions set forth
in
Section 7 above, to fund all or a portion of quality improvement initiatives
deemed meritorious by the Office. Contractor acknowledges that it does not
have
any right to quality service award payments or funds for quality improvement
initiatives, and that the Office has full discretion to determine whether
and
the extent to which any such distributions will be made.
9. Non-financial
Incentives.
In
addition to the potential to earn bonuses based on performance in the identified
areas, the Office may establish other means to incent performance improvement.
The Office intends to distribute information on key performance indicators
to
participating managed care plan contractors on a regular basis, identifying
Contractor's performance, and comparing that performance to other participating
managed care plan contractors, and standards set by the Office and/or external
benchmarks. The Office will recognize contractors that attain superior
performance and/or improvement by publicizing their achievements. For example,
The Office may post information concerning exceptional performance on its
website, where it will be available to both stakeholders and members of the
public. The Office may also revise its auto-assignment methodology during
the
Contract period for new members who do not select a participating managed
care
plan contractor. The new assignment methodology would reward those contractors
that demonstrate superior performance and/or improvement on one or more
performance measures.
B.
|
Contract
Compliance
|
1. Scope.
The
ability of the Office to assess liquidated damages, as set forth in this
Attachment, is in addition to any other remedies set forth in the Contract
and
the Scope of Work. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of
this
Attachment and the Contract and/or Scope of Work, the terms of this Attachment
shall control.
2. Performance
and Reporting Requirements.
The
Contract and Scope of Work specify the performance requirements of the
Contractor. The MCO Reporting Manual details the required formats, templates
and
submission instructions for the reports required to be submitted pursuant
to
this Contract. The Office may change the frequency of required reports, or
may
require additional reports, at the Office's discretion.
3. Liquidated
Damages.
In the
event that the Contractor fails to meet performance requirements or reporting
standards set forth in this Contract or the MCO Reporting Manual, it is agreed
that damages shall be sustained by the State, and the Contractor shall pay
to
the Office the liquidated damages as set forth in this Attachment. It is
further
agreed that in the failure to meet specified performance or reporting
requirements subject to liquidated damages, it is and will be extremely
impractical and extremely difficult to ascertain and determine the actual
damages which the State will sustain in the event of, and by reason of, such
failure; and it is therefore agreed that the Contractor will pay the Office
for
such failures as set forth below. No punitive intention is inherent in the
following liquidated damages provisions.
4. Priority
Performance and Reporting Requirements.
The
Office has assigned high priority to the following reports (collectively

5. Non-compliance
with Reporting Requirements.
If
Contractor fails to submit any Priority Report in a timely, complete and
accurate manner as required under the Contract or MCO Reporting Manual,
Contractor will pay liquidated damages of five thousand dollars ($5,000.00)
for
each Priority Report that is not submitted in a timely, complete and accurate
manner. If Contractor fails to submit any other required report (other than
a
Priority Report) in a timely, complete and accurate manner, Contractor will
pay
liquidated damages as set forth in the Scope of Work.
6. Non-compliance
with Performance Requirements.
a. Network
Access.
If the
Office determines that the Contractor has not met the network access standards
established in Scope of Work, the Office shall impose sanctions on the
Contractor and require submission of a Corrective Action Plan to the Office
within ten (10) business days following imposition of sanctions. Determination
of failure to meet network access standards shall be made following a review
of
the Contractor's Network Geographic Access Assessment Report. Upon the effective
date of this Contract, the above-referenced report shall be submitted on
a
monthly basis until such time as the Office directs Contractor to submit
the
above-referenced report on a quarterly basis. Contractor will pay liquidated
damages as follows: (i) five thousand dollars ($5,000.00) for each reporting
period (month or quarter, as the case may be) that the Contractor fails to
meet
the Network Access Standards for Primary Medical Practitioners (PMPs), and
(ii)
five thousand dollars ($5,000.00) for each reporting period (month or quarter,
as the case may be) that the Contractor fails to meet the network access
standards for Behavioral Health Providers. Further, should Contractor be
liable
for liquidated damages for two consecutive reporting periods as a result
of
failure to meet network access standards, the Office shall immediately suspend
auto-enrollment of Hoosier Healthwise members with the Contractor, until
such
time as Contractor successfully demonstrates compliance with the network
access
standards.
b. Marketing
Violations.
If the
Office determines that Contractor has violated the requirements of Contractor's
obligations with respect to marketing and marketing materials as set forth
in
Section 3.2 of the Scope of Work and 42 CFR 438.104, Contractor will pay
liquidated damages of one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) for each instance
that
such determination of a violation is made. For illustration purposes only,
a
violation will be determined to exist if Contractor distributed, directly,
or
indirectly through any agent or independent contractor, marketing materials
that
have not been approved by the Office or that contain inaccurate, false or
misleading information.
c. Claims
Payment.
If
Contractor fails to pay or deny at least ninety-eight percent (98%) of
electronically filed clean claims in a given month within 21 calendar days
of
receipt, and/or at least of ninety-eight percent (98%) clean paper claims
in a
given month within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt, the Office shall
deem
this to be an instance of unsatisfactory claims performance and Contractor
will
pay liquidated damages of five thousand dollars ($5,000.00) for each month
that
such determination is made. Should Contractor be liable for liquidated damages
under this provision for two consecutive months for unsatisfactory claims
performance, the Office shall immediately suspend auto-enrollment of Hoosier
Healthwise members with the Contractor, until such time as Contractor
successfully demonstrates that all past due clean claims have been
paid.
d. Complaints.
As used
herein, the term "Office Investigated Complaint" refers to a written member
or
provider complaint to the Office (or to another State agency or official
and
which is directed to the Office) where (i) Office staff are assigned to
investigate and address the issues raised by the complaint, and (ii) the
Office
concludes that the complaint is valid even if the disposition of the complaint
is not resolved in favor of the complaining party. If Contractor is subject
to
more than three (3) Office Investigated Complaints in any one month, Contractor
will pay liquidated damages of one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) for each
such
Office Investigated Complaint above three (3) per month. For illustration
purposes only, if Contractor is the subject of two Office Investigated
Complaints initiated by providers and two Office Investigated Complaints
initiated by members in a particular month, Contractor will pay one thousand
dollars ($1,000.00) as liquidated damages for that month.
e. Other
Non-Performance.
If
Contractor fails to meet the other performance standards set forth in the
Contract or Scope of Work, Contractor will pay liquidated damages as set
forth
in the Scope of Work.
