change(s) to the aforementioned agreements at least thirty (30) days prior to implementing
such change(s), during which period, HUMANA may object to the change(s). HUMANA’s notice of
objection shall not preclude IDS’s implementation of such change(s), but IDS agrees that
any such change(s) shall not be contrary to, or in violation of, or inconsistent with the
terms of this Agreement. In the event HUMANA notifies IDS of its objection, both parties
agree to make a good faith effort to resolve such dispute in a timely manner.

exceed thirty (30) days, or such lesser period of time required for HUMANA to comply with
all applicable state and federal laws, rules and regulations, from such request, all of the
terms and conditions of any payment arrangement that constitutes a physician incentive plan
as defined by the Health Care Financing Administration
(“HCFA”) and/or any state or federal
law, rule or regulation, between IDS, IDS Hospitals, IDS Physicians, IDS Providers and IDS
Physicians. Such disclosure shall be in the form of a certification, or other form as
required by HCFA, or other form as required by HCFA, by IDS and shall identify, at a
minimum: (I) whether services not furnished by the IDS Physician(s) are included; (II) the
type of incentive plan, including the amount, identified as a percentage, of any withhold or
bonus; (III) the amount and type of any stop-loss coverage provided for or required of the

INTEGRATED DELIVERY SYSTEM PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT

HUMANA Members submitted by such licensed providers and (IV) shall contain provisions
for holding HUMANA harmless from and against any and all disputes between such licensed
providers and HUMANA concerning the adjudication and the amount of the payment of the
claims to the extent HUMANA relies on IDS’s adjudication of such claims submitted for
Covered Services rendered to HUMANA Members. In addition, from and after the Effective
Date hereof, agreements with independent contractor IDS Hospitals, IDS Physicians and
IDS Providers shall contain a provision to extend automatically at HUMANA’s election, the
terms of such agreements to HUMANA in the event this Agreement terminates for any reason
for the lesser of the remaining term of such agreements or one (1) year.

5.6 In the event IDS acquires, through an asset acquisition, merger,
consolidation, lease or other means, or enters into a management agreement to manage the
practice of physician(s) or physician groups in Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach
counties, and such practices or groups have in effect an agreement with HUMANA to
provide medical services to HUMANA Members on a capitated, percentage of premium or other
risk sharing basis at rates which are more favorable to HUMANA than those contained herein,
the rates contained herein shall be adjusted to reflect a blended rate by product weighted
by the relative number of Members at the newly acquired or managed practice(s); provided,
however, such blended rate shall in no event result in an increase in the total funding by
HUMANA to IDS hereunder regardless of whether the newly acquired practice’s reimbursement
from HUMANA is more favorable or not.

5.7 In
the event that a IDS Hospital, IDS Physician or IDS Provider is a party to more than
one agreement with HUMANA for the provision of Covered Services to Members, such IDS
Hospital, IDS Physician, and/or IDS Provider will be reimbursed by HUMANA under the payment
arrangements under the most cost-effective agreement for the applicable Covered Service
between HUMANA and IDS Hospital, IDS Physician, and/or IDS Provider, respectively. However,
in the event that a hospital, physician, and/or ancillary health care provider, member of
IDS declines participation under this Agreement prior to the execution of this Agreement, or
in the event IDS is dissolved for whatever reason, and to the extent such hospital,
physician, and/or ancillary health care provider is a party to another agreement with
HUMANA, reimbursement for the provision of Covered Services to Members shall be in
accordance with such other agreement between HUMANA and the hospital, physician, and/or
ancillary health care provider, as designated by HUMANA.

	6.	 	LIQUIDATED DAMAGES
	 
	 	 	IDS acknowledges and require IDS Hospitals, IDS Physicians, and IDS Providers to
acknowledge that HUMANA has invested and will invest substantial resources including funds,
time, effort and goodwill in building a roll of Medicare Members to be treated IDS
Physicians. Therefore, IDS, IDS Hospitals, IDS Physicians, IDS Providers, or any of IDS, IDS
Hospitals, IDS Physicians, or IDS Providers’ employees, principals or financially related
entities, shall not solicit, persuade, induce, coerce, or otherwise cause the disenrollment
of any Member at any time, directly or indirectly. If thirty-five (35) or more Medicare
Members assigned to an individual IDS Physician disenroll from HUMANA due to IDS, IDS
Hospital(s), IDS Physician(s), and/or IDS Provider(s) directly or indirectly soliciting,
persuading, inducing, coercing, or otherwise causing the disenrollment of such Medicare
Members to be treated by IDS or any of IDS Physicians or any of IDS’s or IDS Physician’s
employees, principals, or a financially related entity under some other prepaid health care
benefit plan other than HUMANA’s, IDS shall pay to HUMANA the amount of three thousand
dollars ($3,000.00) for each disenrolled Medicare Member who is treated by IDS, or any of
IDS Physician(s), or any of IDS’s or IDS Physician’s employees, principals, or any
financially related entity. IDS, IDS Hospitals, IDS Physicians and IDS Providers hereby
agree this amount is not a penalty and constitutes liquidated damages in as much as the
actual damages are not and cannot be ascertainable at the time of the execution of this
Agreement. IDS, IDS Hospitals, IDS Physicians and IDS Providers understand that this
liquidated damages provision does not apply to or require payment from the Medicare Members
under any circumstances. HUMANA and IDS agree that this provision shall not apply to any
Medicare Member who disenrolls and is treated by IDS, or IDS Physicians, or anyone else
covered under this provision, on a non-prepaid or non-capitated fee-for-service basis as a
private patient. In addition, Medicare Members who were patients of a IDS Physician prior to
the IDS Physician’s participation as a HUMANA Participating Provider, are excluded from this
provision, if IDS Physician can furnish documentation to HUMANA in the form of a list of
his/her patients prior to becoming a HUMANA Participating Provider. IDS and/or IDS
Physicians have the obligation to immediately notify HUMANA of the name of any Medicare
Member or former Medicare Member treated by an IDS Physician or any other persons covered by
this provision. This clause shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement for a
period of twelve (12) months regardless of the cause giving rise to such termination.

applicable, thirty (30) days after HUMANA has notified IDS. Additionally, HUMANA shall
notify IDS of any other revisions to existing policies and procedures, at which time of
notice such revisions shall become binding upon IDS, IDS Hospitals, IDS Physicians and IDS
Providers, as applicable. Any revisions affecting IDS, IDS Hospitals, IDS Physicians, and/or
IDS Providers shall not be discriminatory and shall apply to all Participating Providers
similarly situated. IDS shall and/or shall require IDS Hospitals and/or IDS Physicians

admission(s) of any HUMANA Members not assigned to IDS Primary Care Physicians.
	 
	 	 	7.2 IDS further agrees, in accordance with Letter of Agreement to be signed by each IDS
Hospital, IDS Physician, and IDS Provider, an example of which appears in Attachment H, that
IDS and HUMANA may share information, including but not limited to credentialing,
recredentialing, quality management, and utilization management information as related to

Agreement on behalf of those IDS Hospitals, IDS Physicians and IDS Providers that are
employed or owned by IDS, and all other IDS Hospitals, IDS Physicians and IDS Providers
shall sign a Letter of Agreement on an individual basis. IDS Hospitals, IDS Physicians
and IDS Providers who do not execute such Letter of Agreement shall not be entitled to

7.4 All administrative services, including but not limited to credentialing
recredentialing, utilization management, quality assurance and fiscal services, shall be

	 	 	8.1 IDS Hospitals, IDS Physicians and IDS Providers who will provide services to
Members hereunder are required to be credentialed, as applicable, and shall be subject to
the credentialing process prior to receiving status as a HUMANA Participating Provider.
	 
	 	 	8.2 Participation under this Agreement by IDS, IDS Hospitals, IDS Physicians, and as
applicable other IDS health care Providers required to be credentialed, is subject to the
satisfaction and maintenance, in HUMANA’s sole judgment, of all credentialing and
recredentialing standards established by HUMANA’s credentialing and/or medical
affairs departments and adopted under the policies and procedures set out in the Manual
and other rules and regulations promulgated thereby. IDS shall provide HUMANA
with the information necessary for compliance with this Article 8 at no additional expense
to HUMANA and/or any vendor to whom HUMANA may at its sole discretion delegate the
credentialing and/or recredentialing process(es) to.
	 
	 	 	8.3 HUMANA reserves the right to approve new IDS Hospitals, IDS Physicians
and IDS Providers, and/or as applicable other health care providers required to be
credentialed, or to terminate or suspend any IDS Hospital, IDS Physician, IDS Provider, or
as applicable any other health care provider required to be credentialed, who will be or is
providing care to HUMANA Members, who

does not meet or fails to maintain HUMANA’s credentialing and/or recredentialing
standards, regardless of any delegation of the credentialing or recredentialing processes.
HUMANA agrees to notify IDS of its decision to terminate any IDS Hospital, IDS Physician,
IDS Provider, or any other IDS health care provider required to be credentialed under HUMANA
standards, and, except in cases of immediate terminations, IDS shall have fourteen (14) days
from such notice to request reconsideration of such decision by HUMANA’s Medical Director.
However, IDS agrees that HUMANA shall have the final decision on the matter. IDS further
acknowledges and agrees and shall require IDS Hospitals, IDS Physicians and IDS Providers
further to acknowledge and agree that any limitation and/or suspension and/or termination of
his/her/its credentialing or recredentialing status by HUMANA or any one or more of HUMANA’s
affiliates shall apply uniformly to IDS Hospital(s)’, IDS Physician(s)’ or IDS Provider(s)’,
as applicable, credentialing or recredentialing status with HUMANA and all of its
affiliates. In the event the limitation, suspension and/or termination is for administrative
reasons, HUMANA or any of its affiliates may elect to reject the administrative action of
