PERSONAL/PROFESSIONAL SERVICE AGREEMENT THIS AGREEMENT made and entered into by and between the COUNTY OF HENNEPIN, STATE OF MINNESOTA, through the Hennepin County Human Services and Public Health Department, A-2300 Government Center, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55487, hereinafter referred to as the "DEPARTMENT," on behalf of the Metro Counties Consortium, hereinafter known as the COUNTY and Medical Transportation Management, Inc. (an S corporation duly organized under the laws of the State of Missouri), 16 Hawk Ridge Drive, Lake Saint Louis, Missouri 63367, hereinafter referred to as the "CONTRACTOR." W I T N E S S E T H : WHEREAS, the eight counties of the Metro Counties Consortium (MCC) (Anoka, Chisago, Dakota, Hennepin, Isanti, Ramsey, Sherburne, and Washington) have formalized the terms and conditions through which they will cooperatively manage and administer Access Transportation Services (ATS) of Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) services by way of Cooperative Agreement A100969; and WHEREAS, the Governing Board of each Metropolitan County has declared its intent to be bound in accordance with the terms of the Cooperative Agreement; and WHEREAS, STATE funds are available for the purchase of Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) services; and WHEREAS, Hennepin County has agreed to serve as fiscal agent for the eight counties making up the Metro Counties Consortium (MCC) and may contract, using budgeted funds, with the CONTRACTOR to coordinate and manage Access Transportation Services (ATS) of Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) services; and WHEREAS, the COUNTY issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) on February 17, 2010 seeking qualified Responders to contract for the brokerage of Access Transportation Services (ATS) of Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) for Medical Assistance and MinnesotaCare clients residing in the eight county metro area (Anoka, Chisago, Dakota, Hennepin, Isanti, Ramsey, Sherburne, and Washington); and WHEREAS, Medical Transportation Management, Inc.(MTM) has been selected as a qualified provider to provide brokerage services for Access Transportation Services (ATS) of Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT); and WHEREAS, COUNTY desires to contract for the brokerage of Access Transportation Services (ATS) of Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) services for the clients of the eight county metro area; and NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual undertakings and agreements hereinafter set forth, the COUNTY and the CONTRACTOR agree as follows: 1. TERM AND COST OF THE AGREEMENT CONTRACTOR agrees to furnish services to the COUNTY commencing July 1, 2010 and terminating December 31, 2011, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the Default and Cancellation provisions of this Agreement. COUNTY shall have the option to renew this contract, subject to negotiations and agreement on rates, for additional terms of one (1) year each for up to four (4) years to be a total of no more than five and one-half (5 ½) years. 1

CONTRACTOR shall be paid at a per authorized trip leg rate of $5.54. Rate is based on 795,750 trip legs per year according to the Line Item Budget in Exhibit B. Exhibit B is attached and incorporated by this reference. CONTRACTOR shall be paid the $5.54 rate for each authorized trip leg even in the event that the total trip legs exceed the estimated number referenced herein; and regardless of whether CONTRACTOR underspends or overspends on an individual line item in the Budget, or on the overall Budget; or whether actual revenue exceeds or trails the estimated Budget revenues. In the event of MTM being paid by the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) for Federal Financial Participation (FFP) the trip leg rate will be adjusted. 2. SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED a. Services to be purchased through this Agreement shall be for the provision of administrative non-emergency Access Transportation Services (ATS) of Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) for Medical Assistance and MinnesotaCare clients residing in the eight county metro area. Services are more fully described in Exhibit A attached and incorporated by this reference. b. The COUNTY is committed to including participant input as a critical part of defining and managing administrative non-emergency Access Transportation Services. (1) CONTRACTOR S actual outcome achievement will be a factor to be considered in contract management decision by the COUNTY. (2) Management of services with respect to outcomes is a continuing process requiring ongoing refinement, and the COUNTY and CONTRACTOR agree to maintain a commitment to that process. 3. PAYMENT FOR SERVICES Payment for services shall be made directly to CONTRACTOR after completion of the services and upon receipt of Department of Human Services (DHS) service information report or in the event that DHS no longer provides the report, upon the presentation of a claim from CONTRACTOR as provided by law governing the COUNTY s payment of claims and/or invoices. Information provided to COUNTY by DHS or CONTRACTOR shall be submitted biweekly for services rendered in a format approved by the COUNTY. Payment shall be made within thirtyfive (35) days from receipt of the information report from DHS or if the information is no longer provided by DHS, the CONTRACTOR'S invoice. In the event of a Federal or State mandated rate change or other change initiated by the COUNTY, the COUNTY will send CONTRACTOR written confirmation of the new rate. CONTRACTOR agrees to abide by any conditions upon the use of increased funds that may be established by law or direction from the State of Minnesota, Department of Human Services or the COUNTY. Any interpretation pertaining to eligibility for a rate change as well as the exact amount of the rate change shall be subject to applicable law, rule, or regulation and shall be consistent with guidelines developed by the State of Minnesota and the COUNTY. In the event that the CONTRACTOR determines that a client is ineligible by a search of existing databases available to CONTRACTOR, the denial may be overridden by the specific advocates named by the responsible County of the MCC, based on the databases available to the COUNTY. After verification of denial of payment from the STATE, CONTRACTOR shall, pursuant to this Agreement, bill the responsible county for the transportation cost with 2

documentation of the COUNTY override. If reviews by the COUNTY of the CONTRACTOR s financial statements show that a rate is being paid which is higher than reasonable or necessary, the parties agree to amend this Agreement to establish an appropriate rate. The CONTRACTOR may submit requests to amend this Agreement to adjust the rate upward and the COUNTY agrees to consider such requests. If the COUNTY discovers through audit or other means that the CONTRACTOR has supplied incorrect information to the COUNTY which has caused a rate either to be established or continued which is higher than that reasonable and necessary for the services provided, the COUNTY may adjust total payments to the CONTRACTOR to an amount which is based on a rate which is reasonable as determined by the COUNTY. 4. PROFESSIONAL CREDENTIALS INTENTIONALLY OMITTED 5. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR CONTRACTOR shall select the means, method, and manner of performing the services. Nothing is intended or should be construed as creating or establishing the relationship of co-partners between the parties or as constituting CONTRACTOR as the agent, representative, or employee of the COUNTY for any purpose. CONTRACTOR is and shall remain an independent contractor for all services performed under this Agreement. CONTRACTOR shall secure at its own expense all personnel required in performing services under this Agreement. Any personnel of CONTRACTOR or other persons while engaged in the performance of any work or services required by CONTRACTOR will have no contractual relationship with the COUNTY and will not be considered employees of the COUNTY. The COUNTY shall not be responsible for any claims that arise out of employment or alleged employment under the Minnesota Economic Security Law or the Workers Compensation Act of the State of Minnesota on behalf of any personnel, including, without limitation, claims of discrimination against CONTRACTOR, its officers, agents, contractors, or employees. CONTRACTOR shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the COUNTY, its officials, officers, agents, volunteers, and employees from all such claims irrespective of any determination of any pertinent tribunal, agency, board, commission, or court. Such personnel or other persons shall neither require nor be entitled to any compensation, rights, or benefits of any kind from the COUNTY, including, without limitation, tenure rights, medical and hospital care, sick and vacation leave, Workers Compensation, Re-employment Compensation, disability, severance pay, and retirement benefits. 6. NON-DISCRIMINATION AND AFFIRMATIVE ACTION A. In accordance with the COUNTY s policies against discrimination, CONTRACTOR agrees that it shall not exclude any person from full employment rights nor prohibit participation in or the benefits of, any program, service or activity on the grounds of race, color, creed, religion, age, sex, disability, marital status, sexual orientation, public assistance status, or national origin. No person who is protected by applicable Federal or State laws against discrimination shall be subjected to discrimination. B. In accordance with Hennepin County Board Resolution, if this Agreement is for a sum over $100,000 or is one of several current contracts with CONTRACTOR totaling more than $100,000 or is amended to exceed $100,000, then CONTRACTOR agrees to abide by the COUNTY s Non-discrimination and Affirmative Action requirements for COUNTY contractors including, but not limited to, the following: 1.

If the deficiencies are not corrected to COUNTY s satisfaction, COUNTY may require CONTRACTOR to demonstrate that good faith efforts have been made to correct them or may exercise other remedies as provided herein. (iii) at the end of each calendar year, submit an Annual Workforce Report (CC400) to P/CS for review. C. If CONTRACTOR fails to demonstrate good faith efforts to correct any identified nondiscrimination and Affirmative Action deficiencies and/or fails to submit requested reports or information required by the COUNTY and/or has engaged in discriminatory practices, the COUNTY may consider this a violation of this Agreement and may exercise any remedies available to it in law or in equity, including, but not limited to, cancellation or termination of this Agreement. D. CONTRACTOR agrees to adhere to the COUNTY s AIDS Policy which provides that no employee, applicant, or client shall be subjected to testing, removed from normal and customary status, or deprived of any rights, privileges, or freedoms because of his or her AIDS status except for clearly stated specific and compelling medical and/or public health reasons.

CONTRACTOR shall maintain these materials and allow access during the period of this Agreement and for six (6) years after its termination or cancellation. Also, in accordance with Medicare requirements under Section 952 of the Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1980 (PL 96-499) as well as any final regulations relating thereto as may be promulgated by the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (the Secretary ), and to the extent that the requirements are applicable to this Agreement, CONTRACTOR shall, while this Agreement is effective and until the expiration of four (4) years after furnishing of any services, make available, upon written request to the Secretary, or the Comptroller General of the United States (the Comptroller General ), or any of their authorized 7

representatives, a copy of this Agreement and books, documents and records of CONTRACTOR as are necessary to certify the nature and extent of the costs incurred by CONTRACTOR for the services furnished.

SUCCESSORS, SUBCONTRACTING AND ASSIGNMENTS A. CONTRACTOR binds itself, its partners, successors, assigns and legal representatives to the COUNTY for all covenants, agreements and obligations contained in the contract documents. B. CONTRACTOR shall not assign, transfer or pledge this Agreement and/or the services to be performed, whether in whole or in part, nor assign any monies due or to become due to it without the prior written consent of the COUNTY. A consent to assign shall be subject to such conditions and provisions as the COUNTY may deem necessary, accomplished by execution of a form prepared by the COUNTY and signed by CONTRACTOR, the assignee and the COUNTY. Permission to assign, however, shall under no circumstances relieve CONTRACTOR of its liabilities and obligations under the Agreement. C. CONTRACTOR shall not subcontract this Agreement and/or the services to be performed, whether in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the COUNTY; provided, however, that the COUNTY consents to the CONTRACTOR subcontracting with transportation providers, as per Exhibit A, to provide the direct transportation services contemplated by this Agreement. Permission to subcontract, however, shall under no circumstances relieve CONTRACTOR of its liabilities and obligations under the Agreement. Further, CONTRACTOR shall be fully responsible for the acts, omissions, and failure of its subcontractors in the performance of the specified contractual services, and of person(s) directly or indirectly employed by subcontractors. Contracts between CONTRACTOR and each subcontractor shall require that the subcontractor s services be performed in accordance with the terms and conditions specified. CONTRACTOR shall make contracts between CONTRACTOR and subcontractors available upon request. D. CONTRACTOR shall notify the COUNTY in writing if another person/entity acquires, directly or indirectly, more than 50 percent of the voting power of the shares entitled to vote for directors of CONTRACTOR. Notice shall be given within ten (10) days of such acquisition and shall specify the name and business address of the acquiring person/entity. The COUNTY reserves the right to require the acquiring person/entity to promptly become a signatory to this Agreement by amendment or other document so as to help assure the full performance of this Agreement. 11. MERGER AND MODIFICATION A. It is understood and agreed that the entire Agreement between the parties is contained herein and that this Agreement supersedes all oral agreements and negotiations between the parties relating to the subject matter. All items that are referenced or that are attached are incorporated and made a part of this Agreement. If there is any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and referenced or attached items, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail. 8

B. Any alterations, variations, modifications, or waivers of provisions of this Agreement shall only be valid when they have been reduced to writing as an amendment to this Agreement signed by the parties. 12. DEFAULT AND CANCELLATION A. If CONTRACTOR fails to perform any of the provisions of this Agreement or so fails to administer the work as to endanger the performance of the Agreement, it shall be in default. Unless CONTRACTOR s default is excused by the COUNTY, the COUNTY may upon written notice immediately cancel this Agreement in its entirety. Additionally, failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement shall be just cause for the COUNTY to delay payment until CONTRACTOR s compliance. In the event of a decision to withhold payment, the COUNTY shall furnish prior written notice to CONTRACTOR. B. Upon cancellation or termination of this Agreement: 1. At the discretion of the COUNTY and as specified in writing by the Contract Administrator, CONTRACTOR shall deliver to the Contract Administrator copies of all writings so specified by the COUNTY and prepared by CONTRACTOR in accordance with this Agreement. The term writings is defined as: Handwriting, typewriting, printing, photocopying, photographing, facsimile transmitting, and every other means of recording, including electronic media, any form of communication or representation, including letters, works, pictures, drawings, sounds, or symbols, or combinations thereof. 2. The COUNTY shall have full ownership and control of all such writings. CONTRACTOR shall have the right to retain copies of the writings. However, it is agreed that CONTRACTOR without the prior written consent of the COUNTY shall not use these writings for any purpose or in any manner whatsoever; shall not assign, license, loan, sell, copyright, patent and/or transfer any or all of such writings; and shall not do anything which in the opinion of the COUNTY would affect the COUNTY s ownership and/or control of such writings. C. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, CONTRACTOR shall remain liable to the COUNTY for damages sustained by the COUNTY by virtue of any breach of this Agreement by CONTRACTOR. Upon notice to CONTRACTOR of the claimed breach and the amount of the claimed damage, the COUNTY may withhold any payments to CONTRACTOR for the purpose of set-off until such time as the exact amount of damages due the COUNTY from CONTRACTOR is determined. Following notice from the COUNTY of the claimed breach and damage, CONTRACTOR and the COUNTY shall attempt to resolve the dispute in good faith. D. The above remedies shall be in addition to any other right or remedy available to the COUNTY under this Agreement, law, statute, rule, and/or equity. E. The COUNTY s failure to insist upon strict performance of any provision or to exercise any right under this Agreement shall not be deemed a relinquishment or waiver of the same, unless consented to in writing. Such consent shall not constitute a general waiver or relinquishment throughout the entire term of the Agreement. F. This Agreement may be canceled with or without cause by either party upon sixty (60) day written notice. Notification shall be in writing, and shall be sent registered or certified mail. Notices to the COUNTY shall be sent to the County Administrator with a copy to 9

Cindy Towe, Senior Contract Services Analyst, or successor, at the address given in the opening paragraph of the Agreement. G. Provisions that by their nature are intended to survive the term, cancellation or termination of this Agreement include but are not limited to: SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED (as to ownership of property); INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR; INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE; DATA PRACTICES; RECORDS- AVAILABILITY/ACCESS; DEFAULT AND CANCELLATION; PROMOTIONAL LITERATURE; and MINNESOTA LAW GOVERNS. 13. CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION In order to coordinate the services of CONTRACTOR with the activities of the Hennepin County Human Services and Public Health Department on behalf of the Metro Counties Consortium, so as to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, Cindy Towe, Senior Contract Services Analyst or successor shall manage this Agreement on behalf of the COUNTY and serve as liaison between the COUNTY and CONTRACTOR. 14. COMPLIANCE AND NON-DEBARMENT CERTIFICATION A. CONTRACTOR shall comply with all applicable federal, state and local statutes, regulations, rules and ordinances currently in force or later enacted. B. If the source or partial source of funds for payment of services under this Agreement is federal, state or other grant monies, CONTRACTOR shall comply with all applicable conditions of the specific referenced or attached grant. C. CONTRACTOR certifies that it is not prohibited from doing business with either the federal government or the State of Minnesota as a result of debarment or suspension proceedings. D. CONTRACTOR certifies that their organization and their staff and their principals are not suspended or debarred, and therefore are not excluded from receiving government funds under Federal Office of Management and Budget Circular A-133 Compliance Supplement. CONTRACTOR agrees that it will immediately notify the COUNTY, in writing, if it, its organization, staff and/or principals are notified of suspension, debarment, or other proceedings that would affect their ability to receive funds from the State of Minnesota or the federal government. 15. SUBCONTRACTOR PAYMENT CONTRACTOR shall pay any subcontractor for clean claims within ten (10) days of CONTRACTOR s receipt of payment from the COUNTY for undisputed services provided by the subcontractor. A clean claim is a claim which has all of the documentation and data required in the trip log submitted to CONTRACTOR by the transportation providers as referenced in Exhibit A. CONTRACTOR shall pay interest of 1½ percent per month or any part of a month to the subcontractor on any undisputed amount not paid on time to the subcontractor. The minimum monthly interest penalty payment for an unpaid balance of $100.00 or more is $10.00. For an unpaid balance of less than $100.00, CONTRACTOR shall pay the actual penalty due to the subcontractor.

Exhibit A Health Care Programs (MHCP) Provider Manual at www.dhs.state.mn.us/provider/types/82.htm and through STATE policy updates. Other important requirements in the transportation determination include: Verification that the client is enrolled in MA and MinnesotaCare on the date of service via electronic or telephone access to the Eligibility Verification System (EVS) or MNI-ITS. The CSR shall also check for PMAP enrollment status and whether the service requested is covered in PMAP Clients enrolled in the PMAP plan are only eligible for mileage reimbursement and ancillary services; Confirmation that client s county of residence is within the eight county metro area; Confirm that the transportation is to and/or from an MA covered service; Verify that the client has no other transportation available; Before authorizing a pharmacy only trip for an eligible client, the CSR will explore all other available lower cost options such as free delivery of prescriptions, mailing prescriptions or having friends/families pick-up prescriptions; When determining the most appropriate mode of transportation, the CSR must consider the client s current level of mobility and functional independence; MTM will coordinate with the COUNTY on verification of medical appointments from the medical provider as necessary; Verification that the client does not reside in a skilled nursing facility, including clients who were not previously a resident of a skilled nursing facility.

First mode of choice is public transit and mileage reimbursement. Second mode of choice is ambulatory transportation (curb-to-curb, then door-todoor). The third option is for wheelchair transportation (curb-to-curb, then door-to-door). If the client needs a greater level of care they will be directed on how to arrange Special Transportation Services (STS). Administrative costs for STS are not included in this Agreement. MTM has all available fixed public bus routes in the NET Management System. Public transit transportation is arranged if the client lives within ¾ mile of a stop and if the public transportation brings the client within ¾ of a mile to the medical appointment. Other modes of transportation include mileage reimbursement, various transport vehicles available through the transportation providers and if required, direction on how to arrange for STS services. Reasons for not using the lowest cost transportation provider shall be documented in the client s record. MTM ensures that necessary related transportation services such as attendants and parking are provided to eligible clients. Authorization includes determination of the mileage for the trip and assignment of the transportation provider. The transportation provider is then notified of the trip.

Records of these inspections are maintained in the local office, allowing full access to MCC upon request. 3.2.14. Driver Requirements Transportation providers subcontracting with MTM must comply with all applicable State, County, and local requirements, including insurance, licensing and certification of personnel. Each transportation provider and its drivers are credentialed by MTM prior to transporting clients. During the credentialing phase, each driver is evaluated for appropriate licensing and certification, DMV records, background checks (including criminal, elderly and child abuse), and compliance with State, Federal, and local guidelines. MTM requires transportation providers and drivers to meet training and education requirements as outlined in the Transportation Provider Guidelines. MTM verifies completion of these training and education requirements through written proof of completion for each driver.

Contract #A100838 Exhibit A Any driver out of compliance with the requirements will be immediately removed from service and the transportation provider will be subject to corrective actions and/or disciplinary actions. These and any other deficiencies and actions will become a part of the vehicle and driver s permanent record. MTM uses each opportunity, including complaints, deficiencies, errors, and even an incidence of fraud or abuse, to educate transportation providers and help them improve their service. MTM uses corrective action plans, sanctioning and disciplining, and the prospect of deactivation and termination of transportation providers to change behavior and improve the level of service delivered. 3.2.15. Handle Complaints and Appeals Related to Provision of NEMT and Assessments All complaints received are forwarded to the designated Quality Service Coordinator (QSC) for tracking, investigations, and resolution. The QSC will encourage the complainant to submit the complaint in writing, but both verbal and written complaints will be accepted and formally documented. The QSC is also responsible for educating the transportation provider about the complaint issue to avoid future incidents. The QSC makes every attempt to respond to the complaint within 24 hours of receipt. The QSC will fax a copy of each written complaint to the MCC within 24 hours or the next business day, whichever is sooner. A written response of resolution of the complaint will be sent within 72 hours of receipt. The response will include notice of the complainant s right to a fair hearing through the State of Minnesota. Any complaints from the MCC will be responded to in writing within 72 hours of receipt. Complaints will be reported, by type, to the Quality management Committee (QMC) on a monthly basis. The QMC evaluates complaints for trends, opportunities to improve quality, or areas needing corrective actions. The outcome of the QMC review will be documented and notification of corrective and disciplinary actions or sanctions will be made to the appropriate party. Follow-up of actions will be reported to the QMC until correction is made. Complaints will be reported to the MCC on a monthly basis in the format specified. If MTM denies the service, or approves a less costly mode of service than requested, the client will be notified in writing within five (5) business days of the denial or reduction in services. MTM will send a State-approved denial letter to the client. This written notification will include the client s right to appeal and a right to a fair hearing through the State of Minnesota. MTM s appeal process allows complainants who are dissatisfied with the complaint resolution to file an appeal to MTM. MTM s Appeal Subcommittee will hear the complainant s appeal either in person or by teleconference, based on the complainant s request. MTM provides information and clarifications in an attempt to prevent client or provider appeals. If an appeal is filed, MTM makes every effort to resolve it before it is escalated to the State. Appeals will be resolved within 90 days of receipt in accordance with the State s requirements. MTM will participate in the fair hearing through the State of Minnesota appeal if requested by the State. MTM understands that the MCC retains the ultimate decision-making authority on denials and that the MCC s decision shall be final and binding and not subject to appeal by MTM. 3.2.16. Required Coordination with the COUNTY and Community Agencies. As part of MTM s Education, Training, and Outreach (ETO) MTM coordinates efforts with MCC, Department of Health, regulatory and law enforcement entities, public and private transportation providers, and medical providers to conduct orientation sessions and develop partnerships. MTM has worked with many health plans and state agencies to develop a simplified process to ensure consistency and continuity of transportation service. MTM coordinates with health plans for those clients who are in a PMAP and qualify for some MTM services. MTM establishes coordination with local agencies within the eight county metro area, to inform them of the availability of non-emergency July 2010 14

Exhibit A transportation services and develop procedures for those situations where transportation services to clients may overlap. MTM proposes meeting with MCC staff on a regular basis, possibly monthly or quarterly to discuss the overall program, processes, and any issues or concerns. These meetings will help both the MCC and MTM decide what information is pertinent and where costs are and how they are being controlled. MTM will establish coordination with emergency transportation services where appropriate. MTM will not transport clients for whose medical conditions require medical monitoring during transport typically supplied by ambulance providers, but have a policy and procedure for referring clients to ambulance providers as necessary. MTM has established links with county access service staff and county case managers to coordinate activities with existing programs serving the MA populations and minimize or avoid duplicate efforts and fragmentation of services to the same clients. These linkages shall include referral protocols or formal agreements with such programs. These activities are to be at MTM s expense. 3.2.17. Payment Administration MTM pays service delivery rates to each qualified transportation provider that are in accordance with rates set by the State. The MTM Transportation Service Agreement provides full disclosure of rates. Validation of services rendered by transportation providers is obtained through the Claims Adjudication Process. Transportation providers are required to submit trip tickets with client signatures as verification for the service rendered. Beginning July 1, 2010, transportation providers will only be paid for trips with a qualified signature. Additional verification with providers may be completed if deemed appropriate and/or necessary. Incidences of poor record keeping are referred to MTM s Network Management department for additional training. Transportation providers with high error rates or questionable documentation are referred to Quality Management for additional, in-depth compliance reviews. Payment is made within ten (10) days of receipt of a clean claim, on the date published on the annuallyupdated payment schedule. Payment is contingent in cooperation with, and completion of, the Claims Adjudication Process, including the submission of reconciled invoices as claim for payment of services rendered. Payment of disputed claims is made upon resolution of discrepancies or reconciliation of past due reports. Payments are made on the next regularly scheduled bi-monthly payment date, but will be made sooner if deemed necessary and appropriate. Mileage reimbursement to subcontracted providers shall be to the nearest 1/10th of a mile. MTM shall provide timely payment to each contracted transportation provider based on the authorized services rendered. Payment for any individual ATS trip must not exceed the amount paid for an STS trip. 3.2.18. Data Privacy Responsibility MTM understands and is fully compliant with the requirements of 42 Code of Federal Regulations, Park 431, Subpart F, 45 Code of Federal Regulations, Part 164, Subparts C and E and Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 13, regarding confidentiality of information concerning applicants and clients. Client information is kept confidential and client information, data, and data elements are duly protected from unauthorized disclosure. MTM has HIPAA policies in place and policies are reviewed annually, at a minimum. MTM s staff and subcontractors have all signed confidentiality agreements, stating that they will provide safeguards that restrict the use or disclosure of information concerning the clients. MTM has educated its staff and subcontractors on the HIPAA requirements and provides annual education and training on HIPAA requirements. MTM will not provide, grant, allow, or otherwise give access to Minnesota Healthcare Program information to anyone without the express written permission of the MCC. MTM acknowledges and assumes all responsibility and all liabilities under both State and Federal law in the event that the information is disclosed in any manner. July 2010 15

Exhibit A MTM will comply and notify the MCC within 24 hours of any requests received for the MA information from any individual, entity, corporation, or partnership. MTM will not release any data except through the MCC. MTM will educate transportation providers on privacy issues, and ensure that they maintain the privacy of client s data. All transportation providers sign a confidentiality agreement obligating them to provide safeguards that restrict the use or disclosure of information concerning clients. MTM will log and investigate all unauthorized disclosures and report disclosures to the MCC and MTM s Quality Improvement Committee for evaluation, corrective, and disciplinary action and to ensure prevention of future disclosures. MTM is a Business Associate to the MCC. As such MTM accepts the role and responsibilities as stated in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). MTM will comply with the business associate provisions, and will rely on the published Code of Regulations to provide the most current HIPAA requirements. REMAINDER OF PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK.
