ARTICLE II
SERVICES

Section 2.1 Services. MedQuist shall provide medical transcription, editing and related services to CBay, through MedQuist’s use of medical transcription and editing labor located within the United States, as set forth in this Agreement (the “Services”). For the purpose of providing the Services, voice and/or data files will be securely imported into MedQuist’s DocQment Enterprise Platform (“DEP”) for processing by MedQuist. MedQuist shall comply with each Customer Contractual Service Level Agreement specific to a Client Facility covered under this Agreement. In those circumstances under this Agreement where CBay fully subcontracts all of CBay’s operational performance obligations pursuant to a Customer Contractual Service Level Agreement, MedQuist shall assume full responsibility for the account management, customer service, implementation services and technical support. Notwithstanding the foregoing, CBay agrees and acknowledges that, with respect to any Client Facility that MedQuist refers to CBay for the provision of Services under this Agreement, MedQuist shall have the right to end the provision of Services for such Client Facility under this Agreement and enter into a separate, direct agreement between such Client Facility and MedQuist.

Section 2.2 Order Form. Commencement of Services for any Client Facility in accordance with a Customer Contractual Service Level Agreement shall be accomplished by mutual execution of an Order Form in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1.

ARTICLE III
FEES

Section 3.1 CBay shall pay MedQuist the following fees for the Services provided by MedQuist hereunder: ninety-eight percent (98%) of the net monthly fees invoiced by CBay to a Client Facility pursuant to a Customer Contractual Service Level Agreement for Services provided by MedQuist. The calculation shall be based on the gross amount due to CBay after subtraction of (a) CBay’s payment or credit of any group purchasing organization fees or administrative fees, and (b) contractual service-related penalties required under an applicable Customer Contractual Service Level Agreement.

MedQuist shall provide CBay with the billing data necessary for CBay to generate an invoice for the work performed by MedQuist to a Client Facility under this Agreement. CBay will in turn generate an invoice to the Client Facility consistent with the billing data from MedQuist within three (3) calendar days of receipt of the billing data from MedQuist. A Client Facility’s payment to CBay for an applicable invoice is a condition precedent to CBay’s payment obligation to MedQuist for the work performed by MedQuist to such Client Facility as covered by the applicable invoice. CBay will make payment to MedQuist within fifteen (15) days of receipt of payment by the Client Facility.

Section 3.2 In those circumstances under this Agreement where CBay fully subcontracts all of CBay’s operational performance obligations pursuant to a Customer Contractual Service Level Agreement, CBay shall be responsible for invoicing, collections and dispute resolution with respect to a Client Facility. MedQuist agrees that it shall provide CBay with reasonable assistance and cooperation with such invoicing, collections and dispute resolution efforts.

a) Not use or further disclose any PHI other than as permitted or required by this Agreement, an applicable Customer Contractual Service Level Agreement or as required by law;

MedQuist will also ensure that all individuals and entities who assist MedQuist in fulfilling its obligations under this Agreement have signed Protected Health Information Confidentiality Agreements;

f) Make available to CBay such information as CBay may require to fulfill CBay’s obligations to provide access to, provide a copy of, and account for disclosures with respect to PHI pursuant to HIPAA and the HIPAA Regulations, including, but not limited to, 45 CFR §164.524 and §164.528;

g) Make CBay’s PHI available as CBay may require to fulfill CBay’s obligations to amend PHI pursuant to HIPAA and the HIPAA Regulations, including but not limited to 45 CFR §164.526.

j) Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, or any time during the Term of this Agreement, with respect to PHI that MedQuist maintains in any form, recorded on any medium or stored in any storage system, including PHI retained or stored by individuals and entities who assist MedQuist in fulfilling its obligations under this Agreement, at CBay’s direction and if feasible, return to CBay or destroy all such PHI. A senior officer of MedQuist shall certify in writing to CBay, within thirty (30) days after termination or other expiration of this Agreement, that all PHI has been returned or disposed of as provided above and that MedQuist no longer retains any such PHI in any form;

k) If return or destruction of PHI is infeasible, notify CBay in writing within thirty (30) days after termination or other expiration of this Agreement. Such notification shall include: (i) a statement that MedQuist has determined that it is infeasible to return or destroy the PHI in its possession; and (ii) the specific reasons for such determination. In addition to providing such notification, MedQuist shall certify within such thirty (30) day period that it will, and will require individuals and entities who assist MedQuist in fulfilling its obligations under this Agreement to, extend any and all protections, limitations and restrictions contained in this Agreement to any PHI retained after termination of this Agreement and to limit any further uses and/or disclosures to those purposes that make the return or destruction of the PHI infeasible;

l) Implement administrative, physical and technical safeguards that reasonably and appropriately protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of EPHI that MedQuist creates, receives, maintains or transmits on behalf of the CBay;

m) Report to CBay’s Director of Information Privacy and Security within forty-eight (48) hours, any “security incident” of which it becomes aware, as such term is defined in the HIPAA Security Rule;

o) Upon request, provide to CBay a list of names of any individuals or entities used to outsource CBay’s transcription and evidence of written assurances from those individuals or entities (as required in 4.1 (d)) that they will agree to substantially the same restrictions and conditions that apply to MedQuist with respect to such PHI.

Section 4.2 MedQuist, in its capacity as Business Associate (as that term is defined in the HIPAA Regulations) to CBay, shall be permitted to use and disclose PHI in a manner that would not violate the requirements of the HIPAA Regulations as follows: (a) for the proper management and administration of MedQuist; (b) to carry out the legal responsibilities of MedQuist and to fulfill MedQuist’s duties and responsibilities under this Agreement including, in part, disclosure to individuals and entities who assist MedQuist in fulfilling its obligations under this Agreement; and (c) to provide data aggregation services relating to the health care operations of CBay.

In such event the non-performing party shall be excused from further performance or observance of the obligation(s) so affected for as long as such circumstances prevail and such party continues to use commercially reasonable efforts to recommence performance or observance whenever and to whatever extent possible without delay. Any party so prevented, hindered or delayed in its performance shall immediately notify the party to whom performance is due by telephone (to be confirmed in writing within five (5) days of the inception of such delay) and reasonably describe the circumstances of the Force Majeure Event.

Client hereby consents to the jurisdiction of any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in the State of New Jersey for any litigation between the parties related to this Agreement.

Section 9.4 Waiver. Any delay or failure in enforcing a party’s rights under this Agreement or any waiver as to a particular default or other matter shall not constitute a waiver of such party’s rights to the future enforcement of its rights under this Agreement, nor operate to bar the exercise or enforcement thereof at any time or times thereafter, excepting only as to an express written and signed waiver as to a particular matter for a particular period of time.

Section 9.5 Independent Relationship. The relationship established between CBay and MedQuist under this Agreement is that of independent contractors and nothing contained in this Agreement will be deemed to establish or otherwise create a relationship of principal and agent, franchisor and franchisee, joint venturers or partnership between them. MedQuist’s employees are not and shall not be deemed to be employees of CBay. MedQuist shall be solely responsible for the payment of all compensation to its employees, including provisions for employment taxes, workmen’s compensation and any similar taxes associated with employment of MedQuist’s personnel.
