Agreement, (ii) is in the possession of the Trading Manager, the Trading Company, a Member or a Recipient prior to its disclosure pursuant to the terms hereof, (iii) is or becomes

 2. Duties of the Trading Advisor. 

(a) The Trading Advisor hereby agrees to act as the trading advisor for the Trading Company and, as such, shall have authority and
responsibility for directing the investment and reinvestment of the Trading Company’s assets, which shall consist of the Trading Company’s Net Assets (as defined in Section 5(c) hereof) plus “notional” funds, if any, as
specified in writing by the Trading Manager and consented to by the Trading Advisor (collectively, the “Assets”), on the terms and conditions and in accordance with the prohibitions and the trading policies set forth in Exhibit A to this

Advisor to the extent necessary (i) to comply with the Trading Policies and with applicable speculative position limits, (ii) to fund any distributions or redemptions, (iii) to pay the Trading Company’s expenses, (iv) to the
extent the Trading Manager believes doing so is necessary for the protection of the Trading Company, (v) to terminate the futures interests trading of the Trading Company by the Trading Advisor, or (vi) to comply with any applicable law or
regulation. The Trading Manager agrees not to override any such instructions for the reasons specified in clauses (ii) or (iii) of the preceding sentence unless the Trading Advisor fails to comply with a request of the Trading Manager to
make the necessary amount of funds available to the Trading Company within two trading days of such request. The Trading Advisor shall not be liable for the consequences of any decision by the Trading Manager to override instructions of the Trading
Advisor, except, subject to Section 7(a), to the extent that such consequences result from a material breach of this Agreement by the Trading Advisor or the Trading Advisor fails to comply with the Trading Manager’s decision to override an
instruction. 
 (b) The Trading Advisor shall: 

(i) Exercise good faith and due care in trading futures interests for the account of the Trading Company in accordance with the
prohibitions and Trading Policies, and the trading systems, methods, and strategies of the Trading Advisor described in the Disclosure Document, with such changes and additions to such trading systems, methods or strategies as the Trading Advisor,
from time to time, incorporates into its trading approach for accounts that are similar in size to the account of the Trading Company and traded pursuant to the Trading Program (as defined in Section 2(f)); 

  
 5 

 (ii) Subject to assurances of confidentiality, provide the Trading Manager,
within 45 days of the end of a calendar quarter, and within 45 days of a separate request which the Trading Manager may make from time to time, with information comparing the performance of the Trading Company’s account and the performance of
all other client accounts directed by the Trading Advisor using the Trading Program used by the Trading Advisor on behalf of the Trading Company (“Other Accounts”) over a specified period of time for the purpose of confirming that the
Trading Company has been treated equitably on an overall basis compared to such Other Accounts. In providing such information, the Trading Advisor may take such steps as are necessary to assure the confidentiality of the Trading Advisor’s
clients’ identities. The Trading Advisor shall, upon the Trading Manager’s request, consult with the Trading Manager concerning any discrepancies between the performance of such Other Accounts and the Trading Company’s account. The
Trading Advisor shall promptly inform the Trading Manager in writing of any material discrepancies of which the Trading Advisor is aware. The Trading Manager acknowledges that, among others, the following differences in accounts may cause divergent
trading results: different trading strategies, methods or degrees of leverage, different trading policies, differing account sizes, accounts experiencing differing inflows or outflows of equity, different risk profiles, accounts which commence
trading at different times and accounts which have different portfolios or different fiscal years. The provisions of this Section 2(b)(ii) shall not apply to, and shall in no manner restrict, the Trading Advisor’s management of any
accounts it currently manages or may hereafter manage for current and/or former principals and/or Affiliates of the Trading Advisor under any circumstances; 

(iii) Subject to assurances of confidentiality, as provided for herein, inform the Trading Manager when the Trading
Advisor’s open positions maintained by the Trading Advisor exceed applicable speculative position limits; and 
 (iv)
Upon request of the Trading Manager, subject to assurances of confidentiality, as provided for herein, promptly provide the Trading Manager with all material information concerning the Trading Advisor reasonably requested by the Trading Manager
(including, without limitation, information relating to changes in control, key personnel or trading approach). Nothing contained in this Agreement shall require the Trading Advisor to disclose the details of its trading systems, programs or
strategies. 

  
 6 

 (c) All purchases and sales of futures interests pursuant to this Agreement shall be for the
account, and at the risk, of the Trading Company and not for the account, or at the risk of the Trading Advisor or any of its Affiliates or each of their principals, stockholders, directors, officers, or employees, or any other person, if any, who
controls the Trading Advisor. All brokerage commissions and related transaction fees arising from such trading by the Trading Advisor shall be for the account of the Trading Company. The Trading Advisor makes no representations as to whether such
trading will produce profits or avoid losses. 
 (d) Subject to Section 7(a) hereof, the Trading Advisor shall assume financial
responsibility for any errors committed or caused by it in transmitting orders for the purchase or sale of futures interests for the Trading Company’s account including payment to the Commodity Brokers (as described in Section 4 hereof) of
the floor brokerage commissions, exchange, NFA fees, and other transaction charges and give-up charges incurred by the Commodity Broker on such trades but only for the amount of the Commodity Brokers’ out-of-pocket costs in respect thereof. The
Trading Advisor’s errors shall include, but not be limited to, inputting improper trading signals or communicating incorrect orders to the Commodity Brokers. However, the Trading Advisor shall not be responsible for errors committed or caused
by the Commodity Brokers or by floor brokers or other futures commission merchants. The Trading Advisor shall have an affirmative obligation to promptly notify the Trading Manager upon discovery of its own errors with respect to the account, and the
Trading Advisor shall use its best efforts to identify and promptly notify the Trading Manager of any order or trade which the Trading Advisor reasonably believes was not executed in accordance with its instructions to any Commodity Broker or such
other commodity broker utilized to execute orders for the Trading Company. 
 (e) (intentionally left blank) 

(f) In performing services to the Trading Company, the Trading Advisor shall utilize its Enhanced Risk (USD) profile of its Diversified Trend
Program (the “Trading Program”), as described in the Disclosure Document, and as modified from time to time. The Trading Advisor shall give the Trading Manager prior written notice of any change in the Trading Program that the Trading
Advisor considers to be material (and shall not effect such change on behalf of the Trading Company without the Trading Manager’s consent which consent shall be deemed to be given if the Trading Manager has not objected to this change within 5
days following the Trading Advisor’s having provided the Trading Manager with prior written notice of such change), including any additional futures interests to be traded by the Trading Advisor not already listed on Exhibit B. Changes in the
futures interests traded, provided that such futures interests are listed on Exhibit B, shall not be deemed a modification of the Trading Program.

 3. Trading Advisor as an Independent Contractor. 

For all purposes of this Agreement, the Trading Advisor shall be deemed to be an independent contractor and shall, unless otherwise expressly
provided herein or authorized, have no authority to act for or represent the Trading Company or its Members in any way or otherwise be deemed an agent of the Trading Company or its Members. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require the
Trading Company to take any action contrary to the Operating Agreement or the Certificate of Formation of the Trading Company as from time to time in effect, or any applicable law or rule or regulation of any regulatory or self-regulatory body,
exchange, or board. Nothing herein contained shall constitute the Trading Advisor, the Trading Manager, the Trading Company or the Members, as members of any partnership, joint venture, association, syndicate or other entity, or be deemed to confer
on any of them any express, implied, or apparent authority to incur any obligation or liability on behalf of any other. It is expressly agreed that the Trading Advisor is neither a promoter, sponsor, or issuer with respect to the Trading Company or
its Members, nor does the Trading Advisor have any authority or responsibility with respect to the offer, sale or issuance of Units. 
 4.
Commodity Broker; Foreign Exchange (“FX”) Prime Broker. 
 (a) The Trading Advisor shall effect all transactions in futures
interests for the Trading Company through the Trading Company’s separate account maintained with such commodity broker or brokers as the Trading Manager shall direct and appoint from time to time with the prior written consent of the Trading
Advisor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Both Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (“MS & Co.”), Morgan Stanley & Co. International Limited (“MSIL”), and Morgan Stanley Capital Group Inc.
(“MSCG” and collectively, the “Commodity Brokers”) may act as the clearing commodity brokers for the Trading Company, and MS & Co. and its Affiliates may act as FX forward contract counterparty for the Trading Company.
MSCG and its Affiliates may act as an options on FX forward contract counterparty for the Trading Company. The Trading Manager shall provide the Trading Advisor with copies of brokerage statements. 

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trading Advisor may execute trades through floor brokers other than those employed by MS & Co.
and its Affiliates so long as arrangements (including executed give-up agreements) are made for such floor brokers ̧ give-up brokers, prime brokers, dealers or other executing entities or facilities (collectively, “Executing Brokers”)
to “give-up” or transfer the positions to MS & Co. in conformity with the Trading Policies set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto. The Trading Manager will review and approve or 

  
 8 

 
disapprove all Executing Brokers proposed by the Trading Advisor for the Trading Company’s account, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If an Executing Broker is
approved, the Trading Company will not hold the Trading Advisor liable for any error or breach of contract by any such Executing Broker subject to the standard of liability set forth in Section 7(a). In addition, the Trading Advisor may execute
trades directly on an exchange or other trading venue, and the Trading Advisor may use any execution method, including but not limited to automated order routing, order or trade bunching, exchange-for-physical (“EFP”), exchange-for-swap
(“EFS”), block trading and pre-execution communication, to the extent permitted by and subject to applicable laws, rules and regulations including, without limitation, the rules of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and the Intercontinental
Exchange. Irrespective of whether Executing Brokers unaffiliated with MS& Co. receive the Trading Manager’s consent to execute trades on behalf of the Trading Company, all such trades will be “given-up” to be carried by
MS & Co. The Trading Advisor shall have full authority, acting as the Trading Company’s agent, (i) to negotiate, enter into, execute and deliver, any agreement, instrument or authorization relating to order execution, trading,
trade affirmation, automated order routing, breakage resolution, compensation and rebate and bonus programs and (ii) to enter into, execute and deliver any agreement, instrument or authorization relating to trade give-up, EFP and the associated
initial and offsetting spot FX or forward transactions, EFS and the associated initial and offsetting swap transactions, in the case of either (i) or (ii) on behalf of the Trading Company, or in the Trading Advisor’s own name but for
the account, benefit and risk of the Trading Company. The Trading Advisor shall have the full authority to make the necessary representations and warranties set forth in such agreements and to negotiate the applicable commissions, if any, on such
terms as the Trading Advisor, in its reasonable discretion, and acting on behalf of the Trading Company, deems necessary or appropriate. The Trading Company, the Trading Manager and the Trading Advisor agree that all orders and transactions entered
into pursuant to any such agreement, instrument and authorization are being entered into by the Trading Advisor as the Trading Company’s agent for the account, benefit and risk of the Trading Company, notwithstanding the fact that such
agreement, instrument or authorization, or the corresponding orders and transaction may have been entered into by the Trading Advisor in its own name. The Trading Company agrees to assume all liabilities associated with the orders and transactions
entered into pursuant to this Agreement and agrees, subject to the standard of liability set forth in Section 7(a) of this Agreement, that the Trading Advisor shall have no liability for such orders and transactions. 

(c) Any “FX prime brokerage” arrangements which the Trading Advisor may wish to establish for the Trading Company is hereby approved
by the Trading Manager but is 

  
 9 

 
subject to approval by MS & Co.. The Trading Manager hereby so approves Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, as FX prime broker to effectuate the give-up of OTC FX transactions to
MS & Co. or such other clearing broker appointed by the Trading Company from time to time for the account, benefit and risk of the Trading Company, and the applicable prime brokerage commissions to be negotiated by the Trading Advisor. The
Trading Company, the Trading Manager and the Trading Advisor agree that all OTC FX transactions entered into pursuant to this Agreement are being entered into by the Trading Advisor as the Trading Company’s agent for the account, benefit and
risk of the Trading Company, notwithstanding that such OTC FX transactions are first being entered into by the Trading Advisor, being treated as principal by the FX prime broker and MS & Co.. The Trading Company agrees to assume all
liabilities associated with the OTC FX transactions and the Trading Company and the Trading Manager agree, subject to the standard of liability set forth in Section 7(a) of this Agreement, that the Trading Advisor shall have no liability for
such OTC FX transactions. 
 5. Fees. 

(a) For the services to be rendered to the Trading Company by the Trading Advisor under this Agreement: 

(i) The Trading Company shall pay the Trading Advisor a monthly management fee equal to 1/12th of 1% (a 1% annual rate) of the
Assets as of the first day of each month (the “Management Fee”). The Management Fee is payable in arrears within 30 Business Days of the end of the month for which it was calculated. For purposes of this Agreement, “Business Day”
shall mean any day which the securities markets are open in the United States; and 
 (ii) The Trading Company shall pay the
Trading Advisor an incentive fee equal to 20% of the “New Trading Profit” (as defined in Section 5(d) hereof) in each capital account of the Members in the Trading Company (the “Capital Account”) that shall accrue monthly,
effective January 1, 2016, but is not payable until the end of each calendar half year (the “Incentive Fee”). The Incentive Fee is payable within 30 Business Days of the end of the calendar half year for which it was calculated. 

(b) If this Agreement is terminated on a date other than the last day of a calendar half year, the Incentive Fee shall be determined as if
such date were the end of a calendar half year. If this Agreement is terminated on a date other than the end of a month, the 

  
 10 

 
Management Fee described above shall be determined as if such date were the end of a month, but such fee shall be prorated based on the ratio of the number of calendar days in the month through
the date of termination to the total number of calendar days in the month. If, during any month after the Trading Company has commenced trading operations (including the month in which the Trading Company commenced such operations), the Trading
Company does not conduct business operations, or suspends trading for the account of the Trading Company managed by the Trading Advisor, or, as a result of an act or material failure to act by the Trading Advisor, is otherwise unable to utilize the
trading advice of the Trading Advisor on any of the calendar days of that month for any reason, the Management Fee shall be prorated based on the ratio of the number of calendar days in the month which the Trading Company account managed by the
Trading Advisor engaged in trading operations or utilizes the trading advice of the Trading Advisor to the total number of calendar days in the month. In the event that there is an increase or decrease in the Assets as of any day other than the
first day of a month, the Trading Advisor shall be paid a pro rata Management Fee on such increase or decrease in the Assets for such month. 

(c) The term “Net Assets” shall mean the total assets of the Trading Company (including, but not limited to, all cash and cash
equivalents, accrued interest and amortization of original issue discount, and the market value (marked-to-market) of all open futures interests positions and other assets of the Trading Company) less all liabilities of the Trading Company
determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied under the accrual basis of accounting. Unless generally accepted accounting principles require otherwise, the market value of a futures or option contract
traded on a United States exchange shall mean the settlement price on the exchange on which the particular futures or option contract shall be traded by the Trading Company on the day with respect to which the Net Assets are being determined;
provided, however, that if a contract could not be liquidated on such day due to the operation of daily limits or other rules of the exchange on which that contract shall be traded or otherwise, the settlement price on the first
subsequent day on which the contract could be liquidated shall be the market value of such contract for such day, or if a contract could not be liquidated on such day due to the exchange being closed for an exchange holiday, the settlement price on
the most recent preceding day on which the contract could have been liquidated shall be the market value of such contract for such day. The market value of a forward contract or a futures or option contract traded on a foreign exchange or market
shall mean its market value as determined by the Trading Manager on a basis consistently applied for each different variety of contract. 

  
 11 

 (d) The term “New Trading Profit” shall mean net futures interests trading profits
(realized and unrealized) on the Assets in each Capital Account, decreased by such Capital Account’s pro-rata share of (i) the Trading Advisor’s monthly management fees and (ii) the Trading Company’s brokerage commissions,
transaction costs and administrative fees. Such trading profits and items of decrease shall be determined for each Capital Account from the end of the last calendar half year in which an Incentive Fee was earned by the Trading Advisor or, if no
Incentive Fee has been earned previously by the Trading Advisor with respect to a Capital Account, from the date that the Trading Advisor commenced managing the Assets in the Capital Account to the end of the calendar half year as of which such
Incentive Fee calculation is being made. Extraordinary expenses do not reduce New Trading Profit. Interest income is not included in New Trading Profit. New Trading Profit shall be calculated before reduction for Incentive Fees paid or accrued so
that the Trading Advisor does not have to earn back Incentive Fees. Accrued Incentive Fees shall be paid to the Trading Advisor on any New Trading Profits earned on those Assets withdrawn from a Capital Account due to redemptions at the end of any
month when such withdrawal of Assets is made as if such month-end is the end of the calendar half year. 
 (e) If any payment of Incentive
Fees is made to the Trading Advisor on account of New Trading Profit earned by the Trading Advisor for a Capital Account and the Trading Advisor thereafter fails to earn New Trading Profit for such Capital Account or experiences losses for any
subsequent incentive period the Trading Advisor shall be entitled to retain such amounts of Incentive Fees previously paid to the Trading Advisor in respect of such New Trading Profit. No Incentive Fees shall be payable to the Trading Advisor with
respect to a Capital Account until the Trading Advisor has earned New Trading Profit; provided, however, that if the Assets of a Capital Account are reduced because of redemptions that occur at the end of, and/or subsequent to, a
calendar half year in which the Trading Advisor experiences a futures interests trading loss for such Capital Account, the trading loss that must be recovered by such Capital Account before the Trading Advisor will be deemed to experience New
Trading Profit for such Capital Account in a subsequent calendar half year will be equal to the amount determined by (x) dividing the Assets of such Capital Account after such decrease by the Assets in such Capital Account immediately before
such decrease and (y) multiplying that fraction by the amount of the unrecovered futures interests trading loss prior to such decrease. In the event that the Trading Advisor experiences a trading loss for a Capital Account in more than one
calendar half year without the Trading Company paying an intervening Incentive Fee with respect to such Capital Account and the Assets for a Capital Account are reduced in more than one such calendar half year because of redemptions, then the
trading loss for each such calendar 

  
 12 

 
half year shall be adjusted in accordance with the formula described above and such reduced amount of futures interests trading loss shall be carried forward and used to offset subsequent futures
interests trading profits. 
 6. Term 

(a) This Agreement shall continue in effect for a period of one year from the date the Agreement was entered into unless otherwise terminated
as set forth in this Section 6. The Trading Advisor may terminate this Agreement at the end of such one-year period by providing prior written notice of termination to the Trading Company at least sixty days prior to the expiration of such
one-year period. If the Agreement is not terminated upon the expiration of such one-year period, this Agreement shall automatically renew for an additional one-year period and shall continue to renew for additional one-year periods until this
Agreement is otherwise terminated, as provided for herein. This Agreement shall automatically terminate if the Trading Company is dissolved.

not consent to, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld; (B) the Trading Manager objects to the Trading Advisor implementing a proposed material change to the Trading Program and the Trading Advisor certifies to the Trading Manager in
writing that it believes such change is in the best interests of the Trading Company; (C) the Trading Manager overrides a trading instruction of the Trading Advisor for reasons unrelated to a determination by the Trading Manager that the
Trading Advisor has violated the Trading Policies and the Trading Advisor certifies to the Trading Manager in writing that as a result, the Trading Advisor believes the performance results of the Trading Advisor relating to the Trading
Company’s account will be materially adversely affected; (D) the Trading Manager or the Trading Company materially breaches this Agreement and does not correct the breach within ten days of receipt of a written notice of such breach from
the Trading Advisor; (E) the Assets fall below $3,000,000 (after adding back trading losses) at any time; (F) the Trading Company or the Trading Manager becomes bankrupt or insolvent; (G) the registration of the Trading Manager with
the CFTC as a commodity pool operator or its membership in the NFA is revoked, suspended, terminated or not renewed, or limited or qualified in any respect; or (H) the Trading Company or the Trading Manager appoints a clearing broker other than
a Morgan Stanley Affiliate without the prior consent of the Trading Advisor, such consent to be deemed effective no later than five days following the Trading Company’s or the Trading Manager’s having provided the Trading Advisor with
prior written notice of its intention to appoint such other clearing broker. If the Trading Manager or Trading Company merges, consolidates or sells a substantial portion of its assets pursuant to Section 11 of this Agreement, the Trading
Advisor may terminate this Agreement upon prior written notice to the Trading Manager and Trading Company. 
 (d) Except as otherwise

trading for their own accounts. The Trading Advisor will use its best efforts to implement a fair and consistent allocation policy that seeks to ensure that, giving due consideration to the Trading Program which the Trading Advisor will utilize in
trading the Trading Company’s Assets, all clients are treated equitably on an overall basis and positions allocated as nearly as possible in proportion to the assets available for trading of the accounts managed or controlled by the Trading
Advisor. Upon written request, the Trading Manager may request a copy of the Trading Advisor’s procedures regarding the equitable treatment of trades across Other Accounts. Such procedures shall be provided to the Trading Manager within 30 days

trading systems, methods, or strategies that are entirely independent of, or materially different from, those employed for the account of the Trading Company, and shall be free to compete for the same futures interests as the Trading Company or to
take positions opposite to the Trading Company, where such actions do not knowingly or intentionally prefer any of such accounts over the account of the Trading Company on an overall basis. The Trading Manager and the Trading Company acknowledge and
agree that provisions of this Section 8(a) shall not apply to, and shall in no manner restrict, the Trading Advisor’s management of any accounts it currently manages or may hereafter manage for current and/or former principals and/or
Affiliates of the Trading Advisor under any circumstances. 
 (b) The Trading Advisor shall not be restricted as to the number or nature of
its clients, except that: (i) so long as the Trading Advisor acts as a trading advisor for the Trading Company, neither the Trading Advisor nor any of the Trading Advisor Principals shall knowingly hold any position or control any other account
that would cause the Trading Company, the Trading Advisor or the Trading Advisor Principals to be in violation of the CEAct or any regulations promulgated thereunder, any other applicable law, or any applicable rule or regulation of the CFTC or any
other regulatory or self regulatory body, exchange, or board; and (ii) neither the Trading Advisor nor any of the Trading Advisor Principals shall render futures interests trading advice to any other individual or entity or otherwise engage in
activity that shall knowingly cause positions in futures interests to be attributed to the Trading Advisor under the rules or regulations of the CFTC or any other regulatory or self-regulatory body, exchange, or board so as to require the
significant modification of positions taken or intended for the account of the Trading Company; provided that the Trading Advisor may modify its trading systems, methods or strategies to accommodate the trading of additional funds or accounts. If
applicable speculative position limits are exceeded by the Trading Advisor in the opinion of (i) independent counsel (who shall be other than counsel to the Trading Company), (ii) the CFTC, or (iii) any other regulatory or
self-regulatory body, exchange, or board, the Trading Advisor and the Trading Advisor Principals shall promptly liquidate positions in all of their accounts, including the Trading Company’s account, as to which positions are attributed to the
Trading Advisor as nearly as possible in proportion to the accounts’ respective amounts available for trading (taking into account different degrees of leverage and “notional” equity) to the extent necessary to comply with the
applicable position limits.

SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT

 

This Settlement Agreement (Agreement) is entered into among the United States of America, acting through the United States Department of Justice and on behalf of the Office of Inspector General (OIG-HHS) of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Defense Health Agency (DHA), acting on behalf of the TRICARE Program; 21st Century Oncology, LLC (“21C”) and Mariela Barnes (“Relator”) (hereafter collectively referred to as “the Parties”), through their authorized representatives.

 

RECITALS

 

A.                                    21C is a privately held corporation with its corporate headquarters located in Fort Myers, Florida. 21C provides integrated cancer care services in Florida.

 

B.                                    On March 25, 2013, Mariela Barnes filed a qui tam action in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida captioned United States, State of Florida, ex rel. Mariela Barnes, v. Dr. David Spellberg, 21st Century Oncology and Naples Urology Associates, Civil Action No. 2:13-cv-228-FtM-99DNF (M.D. Fla.), pursuant to the qui tam provisions of the False Claims Act, 31 U.S.C. § 3730(b) (the Civil Action). The relator alleges that the defendants submitted claims to Medicare and Medicaid for (1) fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) tests that were not medically necessary and (2) evaluation and management services that were upcoded.

 

C.                                    The United States contends that 21C submitted or caused to be submitted claims for payment to the Medicare Program, Title XVIII of the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 1395-1395kkk-1 (“Medicare”) and the TRICARE Program, 10 U.S.C. §§ 1071-1110b (“TRICARE”).

 

D.                                    The United States contends that it has certain civil claims against 21C arising from the submission of claims to Medicare and TRICARE for FISH tests (CPT Code 88120)

 

 

ordered by Dr. Meir A. Daller, Dr. David Spellberg, Dr. Robert A. Scappa and Dr. Steven H. Paletsky from January 1, 2009 through June 12, 2014 that were not medically necessary. That conduct is referred to below as the “Covered Conduct.”

 

E.                                     This Settlement Agreement is neither an admission of liability by 21C nor a concession by the United States that its claims are not well founded. 21C expressly denies the allegations of the United States and the Relator set forth herein and in the Civil Action.

 

F.                                      Relator claims entitlement under 31 U.S.C. § 3730(d) to a share of the proceeds of this Settlement Agreement and to Relator’s reasonable expenses, attorneys’ fees and costs.

 

To avoid the delay, uncertainty, inconvenience, and expense of protracted litigation of the above claims, and in consideration of the mutual promises and obligations of this Settlement Agreement, the Parties agree and covenant as follows:

 

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

 

1.                                      21C shall pay to the United States $19,750,000.00 (Settlement Amount) no later than 10 business days after the Effective Date of this Agreement by electronic funds transfer pursuant to written instructions to be provided by the Office of the United States Attorney for the Middle District of Florida.

 

2.                                      Conditioned upon the United States receiving the Settlement Amount from 21C and as soon as feasible after receipt, the United States shall pay $3,200,000.00 to Relator by electronic funds transfer.

 

3.                                      21C shall pay to counsel for the Relator within ten (10) days of the Effective Date of this Agreement the sum of $527,877.65 for Relator’s attorneys’ fees and costs (“Attorney’s Fee Payment”), pursuant to written instructions provided by counsel for the Relator.

 

4.                                      Subject to the exceptions in Paragraph 8 (concerning excluded claims) below, and conditioned upon 21C’s full payment of the Settlement Amount, the United States releases 21C

Subject to the exceptions in Paragraph 8 below, and conditioned upon 21C’s full payment of the Settlement Amount and the Attorney’s Fee Payment, Relator, for herself and for her heirs, successors, attorneys, agents, and assigns, hereby fully, finally and irrevocably releases, waives and discharges 21C and all of its predecessors, successors, and members, together with its current or former direct or indirect parent corporations, direct or indirect subsidiaries, direct or indirect brother or sister corporations, divisions, affiliates and assigns, and its current and former officers, agents and employees from any claims (including civil monetary claims) the Relator has on behalf of the United States for the Covered Conduct under the False Claims Act, 31 U.S.C. §§ 3729-3733.

 

6.                                      In consideration of the obligations of 21C in this Agreement and the Corporate Integrity Agreement (CIA), entered into between OIG-HHS and 21C, and conditioned upon 21C’s full payment of the Settlement Amount, the OIG-HHS agrees to release and refrain from instituting, directing, or maintaining any administrative action seeking exclusion from Medicare, Medicaid, and other Federal health care programs (as defined in 42 U.S.C. § 1320a-7b(f)) against 21C under 42 U.S.C. § 1320a-7a (Civil Monetary Penalties Law) or 42 U.S.C. § 1320a-7(b)(7) (permissive exclusion for fraud, kickbacks, and other prohibited activities) for the Covered Conduct, except as reserved in this Paragraph and in Paragraph 8 (concerning excluded claims),

Nothing in this Paragraph precludes the OIG-HHS from taking action against entities or persons, or for conduct and practices, for which claims have been reserved in Paragraph 8, below.

 

7.                                      In consideration of the obligations of 21C set forth in this Agreement, and conditioned upon 21C’s full payment of the Settlement Amount, DHA agrees to release and refrain from instituting, directing, or maintaining any administrative action seeking exclusion from the TRICARE Program against 21C under 32 C.F.R. § 199.9 for the Covered Conduct, except as reserved in this Paragraph and in Paragraph 8 (concerning excluded claims), below. DHA expressly reserves authority to exclude 21C from the TRICARE Program under 32 C.F.R. §§ 199.9 (f)(1)(i)(A), (f)(1)(i)(B), and (f)(1)(iii) (mandatory exclusion), based upon the Covered Conduct. Nothing in this Paragraph precludes DHA or the TRICARE Program from taking action against entities or persons, or for conduct and practices, for which claims have been reserved in Paragraph 8, below.

14.                               The Settlement Amount shall not be decreased as a result of the denial of claims for payment now being withheld from payment by any Medicare contractor (e.g., Medicare Administrative Contractor, fiscal intermediary, carrier), TRICARE or any state payer, related to the Covered Conduct; and 21C agrees not to resubmit to any Medicare contractor, TRICARE or any state payer any previously denied claims related to the Covered Conduct, agrees not to appeal any such denials of claims, and agrees to withdraw any such pending appeals.

 

15.                               21C agrees to the following:

 

a.                                      Unallowable Costs Defined: All costs (as defined in the Federal Acquisition Regulation, 48 C.F.R. § 31.205-47; and in Titles XVIII and XIX of the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 1395-1395kkk-1 and 1396-1396w-5; and the regulations and official program directives promulgated thereunder) incurred by or on behalf of 21C, its present or former officers, directors, employees, shareholders, and agents in connection with:

 

(1)                                 the matters covered by this Agreement;

 

(2)                                 the United States’ audit(s) and civil and any criminal investigation(s) of the matters covered by this Agreement;

 

(3)                                 21C’s investigation, defense, and corrective actions undertaken in response to the United States’ audit(s) and civil and any criminal investigation(s) in connection with the matters covered by this Agreement (including attorney’s fees);

 

(4)                                 the negotiation and performance of this Agreement;

 

7

 

(5)                                 the payment 21C makes to the United States pursuant to this Agreement and any payments that 21C may make to Relator, including costs and attorneys fees; and

 

(6)                                 the negotiation of, and obligations undertaken pursuant to the CIA to: (i) retain an independent review organization to perform annual reviews as described in Section III of the CIA; and (ii) prepare and submit reports to the OIG-HHS

However, nothing in paragraph 17.a.(6) that may apply to the obligations undertaken pursuant to the CIA affects the status of costs that are not allowable based on any other authority applicable to 21C.

 

b.                                      Future Treatment of Unallowable Costs: Unallowable Costs shall be separately determined and accounted for in nonreimbursable cost centers by 21C, and 21C shall not charge such Unallowable Costs directly or indirectly to any contracts with the United States or any State Medicaid program, or seek payment for such Unallowable Costs through any cost report, cost statement, information statement, or payment request submitted by 21C or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates to the Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, or FEHBP Programs.

8

Any payments due after the adjustments have been made shall be paid to the United States pursuant to the direction of the Department of Justice and/or the affected agencies. The United States reserves its rights to disagree with any calculations submitted by 21C or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates on the effect of inclusion of Unallowable Costs (as defined in this Paragraph) on 21C or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates’ cost reports, cost statements, or information reports.

 

d.                                      Nothing in this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of the rights of the United States to audit, examine, or re-examine 21C’s books and records to determine that no Unallowable Costs have been claimed in accordance with the provisions of this Paragraph.

 

16.                               21C agrees to cooperate fully and truthfully with the United States’ investigation of individuals and entities not released in this Agreement. Upon reasonable notice, 21C shall encourage, and agrees not to impair, the cooperation of its directors, officers, and employees, and shall use reasonable efforts to make available, and encourage, the cooperation of former directors, officers, and employees for interviews and testimony, consistent with the rights and privileges of such individuals and to the extent that 21C still maintains reasonable access to such individuals. 21C further agrees to furnish to the United States, upon request, complete and unredacted copies of all non-privileged documents, reports, memoranda of interviews, and
