MATRIX
OF FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY


 


This matrix of financial responsibility outlines
the distribution of financial responsibility among Hospital, Physician Group
and Health Plan. It is not exhaustive, but serves as a guide by which broad
categories of medical services are used to identify the distribution of
financial responsibility for particular services. All Covered Services which
are the financial responsibility of the Hospital as set forth in this
Attachment are Shared Risk Services. This matrix also delineates Capitated
Services between Hospital and Physician Group.

Health Plan shall be responsible for
maintenance of records and development of reports required for administration
of the risk sharing programs outlined herein. Within thirty (30) days
following the end of each calendar year of this Agreement, Health Plan shall
prepare an interim report of the status of the Shared Risk Program for such
year (Shared Risk Period). Such report shall include a calculation of the
Shared Risk Budget and Shared Risk Costs incurred during the Shared Risk
Period. Such calculation shall also include an adjustment for Claims Carried

following the receipt of reports to review such final reports produced
by Health Plan. Absent objections in such thirty (30) day period, the final
reports shall be considered acceptable and all payments due pursuant to such
reports shall be made or, in the case of deductions from capitation, shall
