The contractor will be responsible for making every reasonable effort to determine the legal liability of third parties to pay for services rendered to enrollees under this contract. The contractor has the same rights to recovery of the full value of services as the Agency. (see Section 409.910, F.S.) The following standards govern recovery

B.	If the contractor has determined that third party liability exists for part or all of the services provided directly by the contractor to an enrollee, the contractor must make reasonable efforts to recover from third party liable sources the value of services rendered.

If the contractor has determined that third party liability exists for part or all of the services provided to an enrollee by a subcontractor or referral provider, and the third party is reasonably expected to make payment within 120 calendar days, the contractor may pay the subcontractor or referral provider only the amount, if any, by which the subcontractor's allowable claim exceeds the amount of the anticipated third party payment; or, the contractor may assume full responsibility for third party collections for service provided through the subcontractor or referral provider.

Attachment I - Page 10

Amendment 001 Agreement Number XQ744

available within a reasonable time, beyond 120 calendar days from the date of receipt.

E.	When both the Agency and the contractor have liens against the proceeds of a third party resource, the Agency shall prorate the amount due to Medicaid to satisfy such liens under Section 409.910, F.S., between the Agency and the contractor. This prorated amount shall satisfy both liens in full.
F.	All funds recovered from third parties shall be treated as income for the contractor.

1.11 State Ownership

The department and Agency will have the right to use, disclose, or duplicate, all information and data developed, derived, documented, or furnished by the contractor resulting from the contract. Nothing herein will entitle the department and Agency to disclose to third parties data or information, which would otherwise be protected from disclosure by state or federal law.

1.12 Ownership and Management Disclosure

Federal and state laws require full disclosure of ownership, management and control of managed care organizations, including other qualified providers. Disclosure must be made on forms prescribed by the department for the areas of ownership and control interest business transactions (42 CFR 455.104), public entity crimes (Section 287.133(3)(a), F.S.), and debarment and suspension (52 Fed. Reg., pages 20360-20369, and Chapter 4707 of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997). The forms are available through the department and are to be submitted to the department with the initial application and then resubmitted on an annual basis. The contractor must disclose any changes in management as soon as those occur. In addition, the contractor must submit to the department full disclosure of ownership and control at least 60 calendar days before any change in the contractor's ownership or control occurs.

The following definitions apply to ownership disclosure:

1.	A person with an ownership interest or control interest means a person or corporation that:

a)	Owns, indirectly or directly, five (5) percent or more of the contractor's capital or stock, or receives five (5) percent or more of its profits;

b)	Has an interest in any mortgage, deed of trust, note, or other obligation secured in whole or in part by the contractor or by its property or assets and that interest is equal to or exceeds five (5) percent of the total property or assets; or

c)	Is an officer or director of the contractor if organized as a corporation, or is a partner in the contractor if organized as a partnership.

The percentage of direct ownership or control is calculated by multiplying the percent of interest that a person owns by the percent of the contractor's assets used to secure the obligation. Thus, if a person owns 10 percent of a note secured by 60 percent of the contractor's assets, the person owns six (6) percent of the contractor.

3.	The percent of indirect ownership or control is calculated by multiplying the percentage of ownership in each organization. Thus, if a person owns 10 percent of the stock in a corporation that owns 80 percent of the contractor's stock, the person owns eight (8) percent of the contractor.

Attachment I - Page 11

Amendment 001 Agreement Number XQ744

C.	Changes in management are defined as any change in the management control of the contractor. Examples of such changes are those listed below or equivalent positions by another title.

1.	Changes in the Board of Directors or Officers of the contractor, Medical Director, Chief Executive Officer, Administrator, and Chief Financial Officer;

2.	Changes in the management of the contractor where the contractor has decided to contract out the operation of the contractor to a management corporation.

The contractor must disclose such changes in management control and provide a copy of the contract agreement to the contract manager for approval at least 60 calendar days prior to the management contract start date.

In accordance with Section 409.912(32), F.S., the contractor must annually conduct a background check with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement on all persons with five (5) percent or more ownership interest in the contractor, or who have executive management responsibility for the managed care plan, or have the ability to exercise effective control of the contractor. The contractor must submit information to the department for such persons who have a record of illegal conduct according to the background check.

1.	In accordance with Section 409.907(8)(a), F.S., contractors must submit, prior to execution of a contract, complete sets of fingerprints of principals of the contractor to the department for the purpose of conducting a criminal history record check.
2.	Principals of the contractor are defined in Section 409.907(8)(a), F.S.

The contractor must submit to the department, within five (5) working days, any information on any officer, director, agent, managing employee, or owner of stock or beneficial interest in excess of five (5) percent of the contractor who has been found guilty of, regardless of adjudication, or who entered a plea of nolo contendere or guilty to, any of the offenses listed in Section 435.03, F.S.

In accordance with Section 409.912(10), F.S., the department and Agency will not contract with an entity that has an officer, director, agent, managing employee, or owner of stock or beneficial interest in excess of five (5) percent of the contractor, who has committed any of the listed offenses as referenced in Section 435.03, F.S. In order to avoid contract termination, the contractor must submit a corrective action plan, approved by the department, that ensures such person is divested of all interest and/or control and has no role in the operation and management of the contractor.

The contract is subject to the provisions of Chapter 112 and Section 435.03, F.S. The contractor must disclose the name of any officer, director, or agent who is an employee of the State of Florida, or any of its agencies. Further, the contractor must disclose the name of any state employee who owns, directly or indirectly, an interest of five (5) percent or more in the offeror's firm or any of its branches. The contractor covenants that it presently has no interest and shall not acquire any interest, direct or indirect, which would conflict in any manner or degree with the performance of the services hereunder. The contractor further covenants that in the performance of the contract no person having any such known interest shall be employed. No official or employee of the department or Agency and no other public official of the State of Florida or the federal government who exercises any functions or responsibilities in the review or approval of the undertaking of carrying out the contract must, prior to completion of this contract, voluntarily acquire any personal interest, direct or indirect, in this contract.

Attachment I - Page 12

Amendment 001 Agreement Number XQ744

1.13 Independent Provider

The contractor and any subcontractors' employees, agents, and officers in the performance of this contract, shall act in an independent capacity and not as officers and employees of the department, Agency, or the State of Florida. It is further expressly agreed that this contract shall not be construed as a partnership or joint venture between the contractor or any subcontractor and the department, Agency, or the State of Florida.

1.14 Damages from Federal Disallowances

The department may approve such a request provided that a written explanation of reason for disenrollment is given to the enrollee prior to the effective date and provided that the enrollee's actions are not related to the enrollee's medical or mental condition. Enrollees must be given a reasonable opportunity to comply with the plan of care subsequent to each verbal and written warning before disenrollment is made effective except in instances where the enrollee's actions threaten the health, safety, or well being of service providers or contractor's staff or representatives. Enrollees who are disenrolled through this section are not eligible for re-enrollment without the permission of the contractor.

The contractor may also submit an involuntary disenrollment request for an enrollee whose behavior is disruptive, unruly, abusive, or uncooperative to the extent that his or her enrollment with the contractor seriously impairs the contractor's ability to furnish services to either the enrollee or other enrollees. The contractor must provide at least one verbal and one written warning to the enrollee regarding the implications of his or her actions. A written explanation of the reason for disenrollment must be given to the enrollee prior to submitting the disenrollment request. The department will approve, such requests in writing, provided the contractor has documented the actions described above and the enrollee's actions are not related to the enrollee's medical or mental condition, involuntary disenrollment documents are maintained in an identifiable enrollee record, and enrollees who are disenrolled through this action are not eligible for re-enrollment without the permission of the contractor. The contractor shall be prohibited from requesting a disenrollment based on a change in the enrollee's health status pursuant 42 CFR 438.56(b)(2). Involuntary disenrollments without the department's consent will be considered an express or intentional violation of the contract. Repeated occurrences will be considered a cause for termination as specified in Section 1.28.

Adult Companion Services: Non-medical care, supervision and socialization provided to a functionally impaired adult. Companions assist or supervise the enrollee with tasks such as meal preparation or laundry and shopping, but do not perform these activities as discrete services. The provision of companion services does not entail hands-on nursing care. This service includes light housekeeping tasks incidental to the care and supervision of the enrollee.

Adult Day Health Services: Services provided pursuant to Chapter 429, Part HI, F.S. For example, services furnished in an outpatient setting, encompassing both the health and social services needed to ensure optimal functioning of an enrollee, including social services to help with personal and family problems, and planned group therapeutic activities.

Physical, occupational and speech therapies indicated in the enrollee's plan of care are furnished as components of this service. Nursing services which include periodic evaluation, medical supervision and supervision of self-care services directed toward activities of daily living and personal hygiene are also a component of this service. The inclusion of physical, occupational and speech therapy services and nursing services as components of adult day health services does not require the contractor to contract with the adult day health provider to deliver these services when they are included in an enrollee's plan of care. The contractor may contract with the adult day health provider for the delivery of these services or the contractor may contract with other providers qualified to deliver these services pursuant to the terms of this contract.

Assisted Living Services: Personal care services, homemaker services, chore services, attendant care, companion services, medication oversight, and therapeutic social and recreational programming provided in a home-like environment in an assisted living facility licensed pursuant to Chapter 429 Part I, F.S., in conjunction with living in the facility.

Individualized care is furnished to persons who reside in their own living units (which may include dual occupied units when both occupants consent to the arrangement) which may or may not include kitchenette and/or living rooms and which contain bedrooms and toilet facilities. The resident has a right to privacy. Living units may be locked at the discretion of the resident, except when a physician or mental health professional has certified in writing that the resident is sufficiently cognitively impaired as to be a danger to self or others if given the opportunity to lock the door. The facility must have a central dining room, living room or parlor, and common activity areas, which may also serve as living rooms

Attachment I - Page 34

Amendment 001 Agreement Number XQ744

or dining rooms. The resident retains the right to assume risk, tempered only by a person's ability to assume responsibility for that risk. Care must be furnished in a way that fosters the independence of each consumer to facilitate aging in place. Routines of care provision and service delivery must be consumer-driven to the maximum extent possible, and treat each person with dignity and respect. Assisted living services may also include: physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, medication administration, and periodic nursing evaluations. The contractor may arrange for other authorized service providers to deliver care to residents of assisted living facilities in the same manner as those services would be delivered to a person in their own home. The contractor shall be responsible for placing enrollees in the appropriate Assisted Living Facility setting.

Each file will contain one row/record for each enrollee for each month they receive services. For example, if an enrollee was enrolled for an entire quarter, you would include three separate rows/records in each of the two files submitted for the quarter, where each row represents services received during the one-month period. The acute care services would be recorded in one file and long-term care services would be reported in the other. These two files, the Long-Term Care Services file and the Acute Care Services file, must be submitted once every quarter to your DOEA contract manager. You have up to three months after the last month in a specific quarter to submit the quarterly files. Contractors must also resubmit the Acute Care Services and the Long-Term Care Services files for the previous quarter with the most-up-to-date claim data along with the current quarter files.

If no units of service are provided in a particular category or if the category is not applicable to you, fill that field with the specified number of spaces (using the spacebar) that match that particular field length. Right justify all fields unless noted otherwise. For amount paid, include the sum of Medicaid and Medicare crossover claims (deductibles and co-payments for Medicare claims).* If you have questions about the definitions of these services please reference the appropriate Medicaid coverage and limitations handbook for Medicaid State Plan Services. Note: Please do not use commas between fields and round currency to the nearest dollar amount.

For individuals designated "Medicaid Pending" who do not yet have a Medicaid ID, the Medicaid ID field must be set to "PENDING".

The contractors shall use the data validation software provided by the department to generate data validation reports for long-term care and acute care services. All "red flag" items on the data validation reports must be corrected or certified by the contractor. The contractor shall submit one password protected zipped file that includes the long-term and acute care services data files, validation report files, and if applicable, certification files. The contractor shall adhere to the file-naming format located below.

SWORN STATEMENT PURSUANT TO CHAPTER 287.133(3)(a),

FLORIDA STATUTES. ON PUBLIC ENTITY CRIMES

THIS FORM MUST BE SIGNED AND SWORN TO IN THE PRESENCE OF A NOTARY PUBLIC OR OTHER OFFICIAL AUTHORIZED TO ADMINISTER OATHS.

1. This sworn statement is submitted to_____________________(print name of the public entity)

by _________________________(print individual's name and title)

for _________________________(print name of entity submitting sworn statement)

whose business address is _________________________________________

and, if applicable, its Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) is

If the entity has no FEIN, include the Social Security Number of the individual signing this sworn statement:

__________________________________________________________________________________

I understand that a "public entity crime" as defined in Paragraph 287.133(l)(g), Florida Statutes, means a violation of any state or federal law by a person with respect to and directly related to the transaction of business with any public entity or with an agency or political subdivision of any other state or of the United States, including, but not limited to, any bid or contract for goods or services to be provided to any public entity or an agency or political subdivision of any other state or of the United States and involving antitrust, fraud, theft, bribery, collusion, racketeering, conspiracy, or material representation.'

I understand that "convicted" or "conviction" as defined in Paragraph 287.133(1 )(b), Florida Statutes, means a finding of guilt or a conviction of a public entity crime, with or without an adjudication of guilt, in any federal or state trial court of record relating to charges brought by indictment or information after July 1, 1989, as a result of a jury verdict, non-jury trial, or entry of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere.

I understand that an "affiliate" as defined in Paragraph 287.133(l)(a), Florida Statutes, means:

A predecessor or successor of a person convicted of a public entity crime; or

An entity under the control of any natural person who is active in the management of the entity and who has been convicted of a public entity crime. The term "affiliate" includes those officers, directors, executives, partners, shareholders, employees, members, and agents who are active in the management of the affiliate. The ownership by one person of shares constituting a controlling interest in another person, or a pooling of equipment or income among persons when not for fair market value under an arm's length agreement, shall be a prima facie case that one person controls another person. A. person who knowingly enters into a joint venture with a person who has been convicted of a public entity crime in Florida during the preceding 36 months shall be considered an affiliate.

I understand that a "person" as defined in Paragraph 287.133(l)(e), Florida Statutes, means any natural person or entity organized under the laws of any state or of the United States with the legal power to enter into a binding contract and which bids or applies to bid on contracts for the provision of goods or services let by a public entity, or which otherwise transacts or applies to transact business with a public entity. The term "person" includes those officers, directors, executives, partners, shareholders, employees, members, and agents who are active in management of an entity.

6.	Based on information and belief, the statement which I have marked below is true in relation to the entity submitting this sworn statement. (Indicate which statement applies.)

Neither the entity submitting this sworn statement, nor any of its officers, directors, executives, partners, shareholders, employees, members, or agents who are active in the management of the entity, nor any affiliate of the entity has been charged with and convicted of a public entity crime subsequent to July 1,1989.

I understand that an "affiliate" as defined in Paragraph 287.133(l)(a), Florida Statutes, means:

A predecessor or successor of a person convicted of a public entity crime; or

An entity under the control of any natural person who is active in the management of the entity and who has been convicted of a public entity crime. The term "affiliate" includes those officers, directors, executives, partners, shareholders, employees, members, and agents who are active in the management of the affiliate. The ownership by one person of shares constituting a controlling interest in another person, or a pooling of equipment or income among persons when not for fair market value under an arm's length agreement, shall be a prima facie case that one person controls another person. A person who knowingly enters into a joint venture with a person who has been convicted of a public entity crime in Florida during the preceding 36 months shall be considered an affiliate.

6.	Based on information and belief, the statement which I have marked below is true in relation to the entity submitting this sworn statement. (Indicate which statement applies.)

X Neither the entity submitting this sworn statement, nor any of its officers, directors, executives, partners, shareholders, employees, members, or agents who are active in the management of the entity, nor any affiliate of the entity has been charged with and convicted of a public entity crime subsequent to July 1, 1989.

Attachment I - Page 99

Amendment 001 Agreement Number XQ744

The entity submitting this sworn statement, or one or more of its officers, directors, executives, partners, shareholders, employees, members, or agents who are active in the management of the entity, or an affiliate of the entity has been charged with and convicted of a public entity subsequent to July 1,1989.

_______ The entity submitting this sworn statement, or one or more of its officers, directors, executives, partners, shareholders, employees,

members, or agents who are active in the management of the entity, or an affiliate of the entity has been charged with and convicted of a public entity subsequent to July 1, 1989. However, there has been a subsequent proceeding before a Hearing Officer of the State of Florida, Division of Administrative Hearings and the Final Order entered by the Hearing Officer determined that it was not in the public interest to place the entry submitting this sworn statement on the convicted vendor list. (Attach a copy of the final order.)

I UNDERSTAND THAT THE SUBMISSION OF THIS FORM TO THE CONTRACTING OFFICER FOR THE PUBLIC ENTITY IDENTIFIED IN PARAGRAPH 1 (ONE) ABOVE IS FOR THAT PUBLIC ENTITY ONLY AND, THAT THIS FORM IS VALID THROUGH DECEMBER 31 OF THE CALENDAR YEAR IN WHICH IT IS FILED. I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT 1 AM REQUIRED TO INFORM THE PUBLIC ENTITY PRIOR TO ENTERING INTO A CONTRACT IN EXCESS OF THE THRESHOLD PROVIDED IN CHAPTER 287.017, FLORIDA STATUTES FOR CATEGORY TWO OF ANY CHANGE IN THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS FORM.
