4.3.3 CHPW reserves the right to change the reimbursement rates set forth on each Benefit Plan Exhibit in Exhibit B, attached hereto and incorporated herein, by written notice to Facility in accordance with changes in rates paid by applicable federal, state or other third - party payers. Such reimbursement shall be accepted by Facility as payment in full. 4.3.3.1 CHPW will provide the Facility at least sixty (60) days' notice of changes that affect the reimbursement rates pursuant to Section 7.6.1 below unless changes to federal or state law or regulations make such advance notice impossible, in which case notice shall be provided as soon as possible. Facility may terminate the contract pursuant to Section 6.3 if it does not consent to the changes. 4.3.3.2 The parties acknowledge that configuring new rates into CHPW's reimbursement system to begin paying claims at a new rate requires up to 30 days. Therefore, in situations where federal or state rate changes do not allow CHPW to provide 60 days advance notice to Facility, the new rates will be implemented on the later of the date CHPW has completed configuring its system or on the published effective date of the new rates. Where a change allows for 60 days' notice, the new rates will be implemented on the published effective date of the rate change. 4.3.3.3 CHPW will apply new rates only to claims received on and after the implementation date defined in the preceding Section 4.3.2.2. If such action results in a substantial negative impact to either party, the impacted party may request that the parties negotiate a settlement payment in lieu of retroactive adjustment of individual claims. 4.3.4 As set forth in its Provider Manual, CHPW shall not reimburse Facility for services rendered in conjunction with commonly recognized grossly negligent acts or Hospital Acquired Conditions including, those referred to as Serious Reportable Adverse Events and Never Events. 4.3.5 CHPW shall pay not less than ninety-five percent (95%) of all Clean Claims received from Facility within thirty (30) days of receipt, and shall pay or deny ninety-five percent (95%) of all claims received from Facility within sixty (60) days of receipt, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties on a claim -by -claim basis. A Clean Claim is "received" on the date CHPW, or its appointed agent, receives either written or electronic notice of the claim. If CHPW fails to meet its obligations under this paragraph, CHPW shall pay Facility interest at the rate of one percent (1 %) per month of the contract rate of all unpaid Clean Claims that have not been denied, and which have aged sixty one (61) or more days, until such time as CHPW is again in compliance with these requirements. 4.4 Coordination of Benefits and Third -Party Payment. 4.4.1 Facility will cooperate with CHPW's coordination of benefits, subrogation and third - party payment policies as set forth herein and in the Provider Manual. CHPW will not unreasonably delay payment of a claim by reason of the application of its coordination of benefits policies. 2020 Facility Agmt—TemplatePage 13 of 51 Contract #(Contract #1-{PRC Agreement ID)
