h. These standards do not apply to Claims about which there is substantial evidence of fraud or misrepresentation by Providers, facilities or Members, or instances where Health Plan has not been granted reasonable access to information under Provider's control. i. Health Plan and Provider are not required to comply with these terms and conditions of payment if the failure to comply is occasioned by any act of God, bankruptcy, act of a governmental authority responding to an act of God or other emergency, or the result of a strike, lockout, or other labor dispute. 15. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Provider is not required to grant Health Plan access to health information and other similar records unrelated to Members. This provision shall not limit Health Plan's right to ask for and receive information relating to the ability of Provider or facility to deliver health care services that meet the accepted standards of medical care prevalent in the community. 16. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any access Provider must grant Health Plan to medical records for audit purposes must be limited to only that necessary to perform the audit. 17.

In the event Provider participates in Health Plan's Medicare Programs, the following provisions shall apply: a. Provider shall make all of its "Relevant Records" available for inspection, examination and copying by all federal and state agencies with regulatory authority over the subject matter of this Agreement. Provider shall permit such inspection at Provider's place of business and at all reasonable times. "Relevant Records" shall mean all books and records of Provider related directly or indirectly to the goods and services furnished under the terms of this Agreement. Provider shall maintain such Relevant Records for the period of time required by applicable federal and state statutes, but in no event less than ten (10) years. This provision shall survive termination of the Agreement. (42 CFR 422.504(e)(2), 422.504(e)(3), 422.504(e)(4), and 422.504(i)(2)(ii)). b.

If Provider is delegated any of the activities or functions of Health Plan as required in its contract with CMS, Provider agrees to comply with all applicable contractual provisions in the same manner as if Provider had executed such contract with CMS directly. The activities or functions delegated to Provider are set forth in the Agreement. In the event CMS or Health Plan determines, in its sole discretion, that Provider has not performed the delegated activities or functions satisfactorily, the delegated activities shall be revolted upon not less than five (5) days prior written notice. The performance of such delegated activities shall be monitored by Health Plan on an ongoing basis, and Provider shall cooperate with all reasonable requests made by Health Plan in order to accomplish such monitoring. If Provider is delegated credentialing activities, Provider's credentialing process will be reviewed and approved by Health Plan, and such credentialing process will be audited by Health Plan on an ongoing basis; further, Provider agrees that its credentialing process will comply with all applicable NCQA standards.
