Provider to participate and deliver health care services to eligible persons who are enrolled with a Contractor,
and (3) the registration of a Provider who wishes to participate and qualify under the one-time only waiver
option.
Therefore, in consideration of the covenants contained in this Agreement:

unless a provider agreement with the Administration is in effect. Provider may not enter into or
continue any contracts for the delivery of health care services to any AHCCCS eligible person with
any Contractor if this Agreement is terminated. Furthermore, AHCCCS will not pay the Provider
for any services rendered if there is no Agreement in effect at the time a claim is submitted.
2. When AHCCCS issues an amendment to modify this Agreement or to modify documents
incorporated by reference as part of this Agreement, the provisions of such amendment will be
deemed to have been accepted thirty (30) days after the date AHCCCS provides notice to the
Provider, even if the amendment has not been signed by the Provider. If the Provider gives written
notice of refusal of the amendment to AHCCCS prior to the end of the (thirty) 30 days stated above,
this Agreement shall terminate.
3. Pursuant to 42 C.F.R §447.10, payment for any service furnished to an AHCCCS eligible person by
Provider will not be made to or through a factor, either directly or by power of attorney.
4. The Provider shall maintain all records relating to performance of this Agreement in compliance
with all specifications for record-keeping established by AHCCCS. All books and records shall be
maintained in such detail as to reflect each service provided and all other costs and expenses of
whatever nature for which payment is made to the Provider. Such material shall be subject to
inspection, audit or copying by the state, AHCCCS, the U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services, and any other duly authorized representative of the state or federal governments during
normal business hours at the Provider's place of business. The ABCCCS Office of Inspector
General ("AHCCCS-OIG") reserves the right to request and secure original records from Provider at
Provider's expense. The AHCCCS-01G shall be responsible for maintaining and safeguarding the
integrity of these records, and will provide Provider with sufficient time to copy records for
Provider's use.
5. The Provider shall preserve and make available the records described in Paragraph 4 above for a
period of five (5) years from the date of payment under this Agreement, except: (a) if this
Agreement is terminated, the records shall be preserved and made available for a period of five (5)
years from the date of any such termination; (b) records which relate to disputes, appeals, litigation
or the settlement of claims arising out of this Agreement, or costs and expenses of this Agreement to
which exception has been taken by the state, shall be retained by the Provider until such disputes,
appeals, litigation, claims or exceptions have been fully and completely resolved. The Provider shall
comply with all applicable AHCCCS rules and policies relating to the audit of the Provider's records
and the inspection of the Provider's facilities. If the Provider is an inpatient facility, the Provider
shall file uniform reports and Title XVIII and XIX cost reports with AHCCCS.
6. The Provider shall comply with all federal, state and local laws, rules, regulations, standards, and
executive orders governing performance of duties under this Agreement, without limitation to those
designated within this Agreement.
7. The Provider shall comply with all AHCCCS and/or Contractor Provider Manuals and Policy
Guidelines, including the AHCCCS Minimum Subcontract provisions found on the AHCCCS public
website, and any amendments thereto, all of which are incorporated by reference into this
Agreement.
8. The Provider, by execution of this Agreement, warrants that it has the ability, authority, skill,
expertise and capacity to perform the services specified in this contract. The Provider shall obtain
and maintain all licenses, permits and certifications necessary to do business and render services
under this Agreement and, where applicable, shall comply with all laws regarding safety,
unemployment insurance, disability insurance and worker's compensation. The Provider shall notify
the AHCCCS Administration within twenty-four (24) hours of a termination or suspension of its
license.
9. The Provider agrees to hold harmless the state, all state officers and employees, AHCCCS, and any
other applicable state agencies, and all officers and employees of AHCCCS against all injuries,
deaths, losses, damages, claims, suits, liabilities, judgments, costs and expenses which may, in any
manner, accrue against the State, AHCCCS, its agents, officers, or employees or AHCCCS
Contractors, through the intentional conduct, negligence or omission of the Provider and its agents,
officers or employees.
10. The Provider expressly acknowledges and agrees that AHCCCS is in no way establishing any sort of
employment relationship with Provider through this Agreement. The Provider is not the employee
of AHCCCS. AHCCCS bears no responsibility for taxes, unemployment insurance, or workers
compensation on behalf of the Provider.
11. The Provider shall maintain for the duration of this Agreement all necessary policies of professional
liability insurance, comprehensive general liability insurance and automobile liability insurance.
The Provider agrees that any insurance protection required by the Agreement, or otherwise obtained
by the Provider, shall not limit the responsibility of Provider to indemnify, hold harmless and defend
the State and AHCCCS, and their agents, officers and employees as provided herein. The Provider
bears all responsibility for taxes, worker's compensation insurance, unemployment insurance, and
any other applicable insurance coverage for itself and its employees.
12. Confidential and protected health information shall be safeguarded pursuant to all federal and state
laws and regulations,
13. Any appeals or claim disputes filed by the Provider shall be adjudicated in accordance with
AHCCCS rules as published in the Arizona Administrative Code. The Provider agrees to waive
attorneys' fees in any dispute concerning this Agreement.
2
14. For Fee-For-Service Providers, AHCCCS agrees to make payments to the Provider, consistent with
State and Federal Law, the terms of this Agreement, and the AHCCCS Capped Fee-For-Service
Payment Schedule (including amendments thereto and as hereby incorporated by reference) for
services provided by the Provider to fee-for-service eligible persons. With respect to fee-for-service
eligible persons, the Provider agrees to bill and accept payment in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, state and federal law, and the following documents, including amendments thereto and
hereby incorporated by reference: the AHCCCS Fee-for-Service Manuals, the AHCCCS Medical
Policy Manual, AHCCCS Claims Clues and other written directives provided by AHCCCS to the
Provider. These documents are made available to the provider via the AHCCCS Internet website
(www.azahcccs.gov) or in hard copy form.
15. With respect to any services furnished by the Provider to an AHCCCS eligible person enrolled with
a Contractor, the terms and conditions of payment shall be as set forth in the contract between the
Provider and the Contractor notwithstanding any inconsistent provisions as set forth in Paragraph 14,
above. The Provider agrees to hold AHCCCS harmless, and agrees not to seek reimbursement from
AHCCCS, for services rendered to an enrolled member pursuant to a contract between the Provider
and a Contractor. If the contract is silent on a claims issue, the AHCCCS Fee-For-Service
provisions will govern.
16. Provider shall conform its billing practices to ICD9 or ICD 10, whichever is in effect on date of
service, CPT, HCPCS, CDT and H1PAA TCS compliance standards. Upon request, Provider shall
disclose to AHCCCS which CPT and/or CDT coding guidelines Provider uses prior to any audit of
Provider. Any Provider changes to its methodology shall be documented with the date of change.
17. Provider shall ensure that its Electronic Health Records System (EHR) is programmed to track and
capture any changes or modifications to the electronic health record.
18. The Provider agrees to bill AHCCCS only after a potential third party payer has been billed. After
payment from any potential third party payer, the Provider agrees to bill AHCCCS the balance due
only up to the limit of the member's responsibility.
19. No Provider may bill with another Provider's ID number, except in locum tenens situations.
20. No Provider may use the AHCCCS/ALTCS/KidsCare or any other AHCCCS program logo or
design on any written materials disseminated by Provider, absent written approval by AHCCCS.
21. In addition to any other remedies available under this Agreement, AHCCCS shall be entitled to
offset against any amounts due the Provider any overpayments, expenses or costs incurred by
AHCCCS concerning the Provider's non-compliance with this Agreement. AHCCCS also retains
the right to offset for Medicare sanctions. Provider may be held financially liable for acts committed
by its independent contractors that would constitute non-compliance with this Agreement. The rights
and remedies of AHCCCS under this Agreement are not exclusive.
22. The Provider shall not bill, nor attempt to collect payment directly or through a collection agency
from a person claiming to be AHCCCS eligible without first receiving verification from AHCCCS
that the person was ineligible for AHCCCS on the date of service, or that services provided were not
AHCCCS-covered services. The Provider agrees to comply with A.R.S. §36-2903.01 and A.A.C.
R9-22-702, which prohibits the Provider from charging, collecting or attempting to collect payment
from an AHCCCS eligible person or the financially responsible relative or representative. AHCCCS
retains the right to offset against any amounts due the Provider, if Provider fails to comply with the
rules and regulations governing the billing of AHCCCS eligible persons.
23. Pursuant to the Federal Fraud Enforcement and Recovery Act of 2009 (FERA), AHCCCS defines a
"claim" for purposes of fraud enforcement and recovery to mean "a request or demand for money or
property that is presented to the government, state, contractor, grantee or other recipient, if the
money or property is to be spent or used on the government's behalf or to advance the government's
interest".
24. Any Provider who receives or makes annual Medicaid payments under the State Plan of at least $5
million dollars must certify its compliance with Public Law (PL) 109-171 Section 6032 of the 2005
Deficit Reduction Act (DRA) [42 U.S.C. §I396a(a)(68)].
3
25. If Provider or any employee or contractor of Provider discovers, or is made aware, that an incident
of potential fraud or abuse has occurred, the Provider shall report the incident to the AHCCCS
Office of Inspector General (AHCCCS OIG) in accordance with state statutes and AHCCCS policy.
26. By signing this Agreement, Provider certifies that it is in compliance with State Medicaid Director
Letter (SMDL) 09-001 and has screened all its employees and contractors for persons that have been
excluded from participation in Federal health care programs.
27. Pursuant to Section 6505 of the Affordable Care Act of 2010 [42 U.S.C. §1396a(a)(80)1, AHCCCS
shall not make any payments for items or services provided under the State Plan or under a waiver to
any financial institution or entity located outside of the United States (U.S.).
28. Pursuant to Section 6402 of the Affordable Care Act of 2010, if Provider has received an
overpayment, Provider shall report and return the overpayment to AF1CCCS or the Contractor within
60 days of the date the overpayment was identified.
29. AFICCCS may require Provider or any employees or contractors of Provider to verify United States
citizenship or lawful permanent resident status prior to the signing of this Agreement. AHCCCS
may, at its sole discretion, conduct criminal background cheeks and/or fingerprint checks on
Provider or any employees or contractors of Provider.
30. Provider agrees to submit, upon request by AHCCCS or the federal government, full and complete
information as to ownership, business transactions, and criminal activity, all in accordance with 42
C.F.R. 455 Subpart B and State law. Provider further agrees to report to AHCCCS immediately any
debarment or suspension of any its owners, managers, licensed professionals, or any other
employees.
31. Upon thirty (30) days written notice, either Party may voluntarily terminate this Agreement.
AHCCCS has the right to terminate or suspend this Agreement upon twenty-four (24) hours written
notice when AHCCCS deems the health or welfare of a member is endangered; the Provider fails to
comply with this Agreement or with Federal and State laws and regulations; or there is a
cancellation, termination or material modification in the Provider's qualifications to provide.
AFICCCS may also terminate this Agreement if it is found that gratuities in the form of
entertainment, gifts, or otherwise, were offered or given by Provider or any agent or representative
of Provider to any officer or employee of the State with a view towards securing a contract or
securing favorable treatment with respect to a contract.
32. Upon any termination of this Agreement, Provider shall assist in providing for the orderly transition
of care for members assigned to the Provider.
I have read, understand, and agree to abide by all the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

ATTESTATION OF COMPLIANCE WITH A.R.S. 35-196.05
On behalf of the Provider identified below my signature, I hereby attest to the
following:
1. As of August 2, 2012, and thereafter, the Provider will not perform any abortions
for any member of the public or maintain or operate a facility where any abortion
is performed for any member of the public unless one of the following conditions
is present:
a. A licensed physician has certified that the pregnant woman suffers from a
physical disorder, physical injury, or physical illness (including a life-
endangering physical condition caused by or arising from the pregnancy
itself) that places the member in danger of death unless the pregnancy is
terminated.
b. The pregnancy is a result of rape or incest.
c. A licensed physician has attested that the pregnancy termination is
medically necessary for an AHCCCS eligible woman because
continuation of the pregnancy could reasonably be expected to pose a
serious physical or mental health problem for the pregnant woman by:
i. Creating a serious physical or mental health problem for the
pregnant member,
ii. Seriously impairing a bodily function of the pregnant member,
iii. Causing dysfunction of a bodily organ or part of the pregnant
member,
iv. Exacerbating a health problem of the pregnant member, or
v. Preventing the pregnant member from obtaining treatment for a
health problem.
d. Other circumstances where, under A.R.S. 35-196.05(B), a medical
condition exists such that the abortion is performed for a treatment of a
medical condition and is not performed for the provision of family
planning services. Describe the circumstances and medical condition
here:
2. The Provider will inform the AHCCCS Administration within 48 hours if the
Provider fails to comply at any time with these attestations by providing written
notice sent to:
