Seller's ("MMCS") tax due pursuant to the Revenue and Taxation Code Section 6175 relating to

for MMCS taxes based on the IGT MMCRRIs, PLAN may retain an amount equal to the amount

pay, as part of the LMMCRR IGT Payments, the remaining amount of the capitation rate
increase to PROVIDER.
(b) This paragraph does not apply to any service months on or after

(2) The PLAN shall retain a three percent (3%) administrative fee based on
the total amount of the IGT MMCRRI received from DHCS for PLAN's cost to administer this
program. Each provider's share of the three percent (3%) fee shall be calculated based on the
provider's proportionate share of the LMMCRR IGT payment made by PLAN in the
PROVIDER'S County.
(3) PLAN will not retain any other portion of the IGT MMCRRIs received
from the State DHCS other than those mentioned above.

(2) maintain its current emergency response services for PLAN Medi-Cal
beneficiaries.

D. Schedule and Notice or Transrer or Non-Federal Funds

transfer of funds to State DHCS, referred to in the Intergovernmental Agreement, within fifteen
(15) calendar days of the PROVIDER establishing such schedule with the State DHCS.

prior to any changes to an existing schedule including, but not limited to, changes in the amounts
specified therein.

PLAN agrees to pay LMMCRR lOT Payments to PROVIDER in the following
form and according to the following schedule:

(2) PLAN will pay the LMMCRR lOT Payments to PROVIDER no later than
thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of the lOT MMCRRIs from State DHCS.
F. Consideration
(1) As consideration for the LMMCRR lOT Payments, PROVIDER shall use
the LMMCRR IGT Payments for the following purposes and shall treat the LMMCRR IGT
Payments in the following manner:
(a) The LMMCRR IGT Payments shall represent compensation for
Medi-Cal services rendered to Medi-Cal PLAN members by PROVIDER during the State fiscal
year to which the LMMCRR lOT Payments apply.
(b) To the extent that total payments received by PROVIDER for any
State fiscal year under this Amendment exceed the cost of Medi-Cal services provided to Medi-
Cal beneficiaries by PROVIDER during that fiscal year, any remaining LMMCRR lOT Payment
amounts shall be retained by PROVIDER to be expended for health care services. Retained
LMMCRR IGT Payment amounts may be used by the PROVIDER in either the State fiscal year
for which the payments are received or subsequent State fiscal years.
(2) For purposes of subsection (1) (b) above, if the retained LMMCRR lOT
Payments, ifany, are not used by PROVIDER in the State fiscal year received, retention of funds
by PROVIDER will be established by demonstrating that the retained earnings account of
PROVIDER at the end of any State fiscal year in which it received payments based on
LMMCRR IGT Payments funded pursuant to the Intergovernmental Agreement, has increased
over the unspent portion of the prior State fiscal year's balance by the amount ofLMMCRR IGT
Payments received, but not used. These retained PROVIDER funds may be commingled with
other GOVERNMENTAL FUNDING ENTITY funds for cash management purposes provided
3
that such funds are appropriately tracked and only the depositing facility is authorized to expend
them.
(3) Both parties agree that none of these funds, either from the
GOVERNMENTAL FUNDING ENTITY or federal matching funds will be recycled back to the
GOVERNMENTAL FUNDING ENTITY'S general fund, the State, or any other intermediary
organization. Payments made by the health plan to providers under the terms of this Amendment
constitute patient care revenues.
G. PLAN's Oversight Responsibilities
PLAN's oversight responsibilities regarding PROVIDER's use of the LMMCRR
IGT Payments shall be limited as described in this paragraph. PLAN shall request, within thirty
(30) calendar days after the end of each State fiscal year in which LMMCRR IGT Payments
were transferred to PROVIDER, a written confirmation that states whether and how PROVIDER
complied with the provisions set forth in Paragraph I.F above. In each instance, PROVIDER
shall provide PLAN with written confirmation of compliance within thirty (30) calendar days of
PLAN's request.
H. Cooperation Among Parties
Should disputes or disagreements arise regarding the ultimate computation or
appropriateness of any aspect of the LMMCRR IGT Payments, PROVIDER and PLAN agree to
work together in all respects to support and preserve the LMMCRR IGT Payments to the full
extent possible on behalf of the safety net in Marin County.
I. Reconciliation
Within one hundred twenty (120) calendar days after the end of each of PLAN's
fiscal years in which LMMCRR IGT Payments were made to PROVIDER, PLAN shall perform
a reconciliation of the LMMCRR IGT Payments transmitted to the PROVIDER during the
preceding fiscal year to ensure that the supporting amount oflGT MMCRRIs were received by
PLAN from State DHCS. PROVIDER agrees to return to PLAN any overpayment of LMMCRR
IGT Payments made in error to PROVIDER within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt from
PLAN ofa written notice of the overpayment error, unless PROVIDER submits a written
objection to PLAN. Any such objection shall be resolved in accordance with the dispute
resolution processes set forth in Section 10.3 of the Agreement. The reconciliation processes
established under this paragraph are distinct from the indemnification provisions set forth in
Section J below. PLAN agrees to transmit to the PROVIDER any underpayment of LMMCRR
IGT Payments within thirty (30) calendar days of PLAN's identification of such underpayment.
J. Indemnification
PROVIDER shall indemnify PLAN in the event DHCS or any other federal or
state agency recoups, offsets, or otherwise withholds any monies from or fails to provide any
monies to PLAN, or PLAN is denied any monies to which it otherwise would have been entitled,
as a direct result of the LMMCRR IGT arising from the Intergovernmental Agreement.
Recovery by PLAN pursuant to this section shall include, but not be limited to, reduction in
4
future LMMCRR IGTs paid to PROVIDER in an amount equal to the amount ofMMCRRI
payments withheld or recovered from PLAN, or by reduction of any other amounts owed by
PLAN to PROVIDER.

on September 30,2019.
