1 COMMUNITY CARE NETWORK TERMS AND CONDITIONS These Terms and Conditions ( T & C ) are incorporated by this reference into the Institution Agreement dated [Eff Date] ( Agreement ) by and between [Provider Name], on behalf of itself and the hospital, ancillary providers, and individual providers to be credentialed under this Agreement (collectively, Provider ) and [Netsub Name], [Corp Def], ( Network Subcontractor ), as if fully set forth therein. All defined terms used herein will have the same meanings set forth in the Agreement. Provider shall provide VA Beneficiaries (defined below) with the services described herein. PURPOSE: Network Subcontractor has subcontracted with TriWest Healthcare Alliance Corp. ( TriWest ) to establish a provider network for TriWest to provide health care services to Department of Veterans Affairs ( VA ) Beneficiaries under the Community Care Network ( CCN ) program. The purpose of these T & C is to include Provider in the CCN network to provide health care services to VA Beneficiaries and to establish the terms of participation in the CCN network and program. All of the terms of the Agreement remain in full force and effect and will apply to Provider s participation in the CCN network and program; provided that, in the event of a conflict between the terms of these T & C and the terms of the Agreement, the terms of these T & C shall govern. In addition to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, the following terms and conditions are applicable to the CCN network and program. 1. DEFINITIONS: For purposes of these T & C, the following definitions shall apply: CCN Covered Services Services, items and supplies for which benefits are available to VA Beneficiaries in accordance with the rules, regulations, polices and instructions of Veterans Administration and the Veterans Health Administration. Prior Authorization A required process through which VA reviews and approves certain medical services to ensure the medical necessity and appropriateness of care prior to services being rendered within a specified timeframe from a non-va provider or additional resources in the community. This type of process requires a Prior Authorization be obtained prior to the specified service. Emergency Care - A medical condition manifesting itself by acute symptoms of sufficient severity, including severe pain, such that a prudent layperson could reasonably expect the absence of medical attention to result in placing the beneficiary s health in serious jeopardy, serious impairment to bodily function, serious dysfunction of any bodily organ or part, or death. TriWest Provider Handbook The set of comprehensive written guidelines, instructions, rules, policies and procedures for the CCN program, as established and published by TriWest for participating providers, and as may be amended from time to time by TriWest in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

2 Veterans Health Administration (VA) The division of the Department of Veterans Affairs that provides health care services and administers health care benefits for eligible Beneficiaries. VA Beneficiary - Any person eligible to receive CCN Covered Services under the rules, regulations, policies and instructions of the VA. 2. Provider shall comply with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, and requirements, including all VA and TriWest rules, regulations, requirements, policies, and procedures, including the terms and conditions in the TriWest Provider Handbook, as amended from time to time, and shall treat VA Beneficiaries pursuant to the terms and conditions of both these T & C and the Agreement as applicable, and in accordance with the above referenced laws, rules, regulations, and requirements. 3. Provider shall provide and maintain policies of general and professional liability (malpractice) coverage in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the TriWest Provider Handbook. 4. Provider must complete training provided by TriWest regarding participation in the CCN program. 5. Provider agrees to all terms and conditions set forth in Exhibit 1 to these T & C, and Provider shall accept the terms of reimbursement and the Reimbursement Rates set forth in Exhibit 1 to these T & C as payment in full for the provision of CCN Covered Services to VA Beneficiaries, less the amount of any payment received by billing VA Beneficiaries commercial health insurance and/or any applicable Copayments payable by VA Beneficiaries, in accordance with the policies set forth in the TriWest Provider Handbook. Provider will be reimbursed only for services rendered to VA Beneficiaries that were preauthorized by VA, with the exception of urgent or emergent services, initial behavioral health visit, and administration of the influenza vaccine. In no event will Provider be paid more than the amount payable by VA. Payment is not guaranteed by a Prior Authorization; it is TriWest s policy to detect and prevent any activity that may constitute a compliance concern including fraud, waste, or abuse, following standards set by federal and state law and regulation. All claims must be properly authorized and Medically Necessary, and not otherwise improper. 6. Provider shall not bill VA Beneficiaries for any CCN Covered Services, including but not limited to VA Beneficiaries not appearing (e.g. no show ) for their appointment and treatments that were set up but never started, or any other administrative or service fees. Provider may collect payment from VA Beneficiaries for non-ccn Covered Services or services that were not Medically Necessary only when Provider has entered into a written agreement with the VA Beneficiary in advance that notifies the VA Beneficiary of the services to be billed and of their payment responsibilities for those services in accordance with federal law and the Agreement. 7. Provider shall bill a VA Beneficiary s primary commercial health insurance and TriWest in accordance with the rules and procedures set forth in TriWest s Provider Handbook. When Provider collects from a VA Beneficiary s commercial health insurance as primary payer, and TriWest as secondary payer, combined funds shall not exceed the total allowable fees permitted for such CCN Covered Services pursuant to Medicare.

Provider shall submit claims within thirty (30) days after the provision of the CCN Covered Services. No payment shall be made for a Clean Claim that is (i) submitted more than one hundred and fifty (150) days after the provision of the CCN Covered Services; or (ii) for services provided to VA Beneficiaries that were not authorized by VA; or (iii) for services for VA Beneficiaries for which required medical reports have not been timely received by VA. TriWest will deny any claims submitted by a non-contracted provider, even if said provider is utilized by a CCN-contracted Provider. Claims by non-contracted providers must be submitted to VA directly. 9. Medical documentation, which includes both outpatient and inpatient records, must be returned to VA in accordance with the policies and procedures set forth in the TriWest Provider Handbook. Medical documentation requested by TriWest or Network Subcontractor on an urgent basis must be returned to the requesting party within one (1) business day of the request. 10. Provider shall provide a VA Beneficiary with a copy of his or her medical record at no charge, to include narrative summary and other documentation of care, within ten (10) business days of the request. Provider shall provide copies of medical records to TriWest within ten (10) business days of TriWest's request, to permit TriWest to conduct peer review, quality assurance and utilization review. TriWest will not pay, and Provider agrees to waive, any costs associated with the aforementioned provision of medical documentation, including but not limited to any copying or handling fees. 11. Emergency care and urgent care Providers must notify VA, via secure , secure fax or EDI, within seventy-two (72) hours of a VA Beneficiary self-presenting to their facility for care. If a VA Beneficiary is being seen for preauthorized care and during treatment it is determined the VA Beneficiary is experiencing an emergency, the treating Provider must seek emergency treatment immediately and notify VA immediately. 12. Provider shall notify Network Subcontractor of any change in address, professional affiliation, tax identification number, licensure status, and/or staff privileges. Provider shall use best efforts to notify Network Subcontractor at least sixty (60) days prior to the date of the change, or at the earliest opportunity. If advance notification is not possible, Provider shall notify Network Subcontractor no later than fourteen (14) days after the effective date of the change. 13. Provider shall use best efforts to ensure that appointments for VA Beneficiaries referred under the CCN program are scheduled for a time that is within thirty (30) days of Provider s receipt of the referral. 14. Provider shall not advertise the award of the Agreement or these T & C in its commercial advertising in such a manner as to state or imply that the Department of Veterans Affairs endorses a product, project or commercial line of endeavor. 15. TERMINATION: These T & C and Provider s participation in the CCN program may be terminated immediately upon Provider s failure to meet CCN program participation requirements and upon ninety (90) calendar days notice by any Party. Page 3 of 11
4 16. SURVIVABILITY: The obligations of Sections 2, 6, 7, 8, and 10 of these T & C shall survive the termination of these T & C and the Agreement. If any provision of these T & C is deemed illegal, unenforceable or in conflict with any law of a federal, state or local government having jurisdiction over these T & C, the validity of the remaining sections of these T & C and of the Agreement shall not be affected.
