Alternate Programs Clause Samples

The Alternate Programs clause allows for the substitution or implementation of different programs or methods in place of those originally specified in an agreement. In practice, this clause may permit a party to propose or adopt alternative solutions, technologies, or procedures if the original program becomes impractical, outdated, or less effective. Its core function is to provide flexibility and adaptability, ensuring that the parties can respond to changing circumstances or advancements without breaching the contract.
Alternate Programs. The Board reserves the right to change insurance carriers or third-party administrators for the benefits under this Article provided that such benefits are equal to the current benefits. In addition, disruption (by physician) shall be no greater than 10%. The Board will notify the Association in writing at least sixty (60) days prior to any change of carriers or third-party administrators. The Association shall have up to thirty (30) days following such notification to review such change and respond in writing whether it approves or does not approve the change. If the Association does not approve the proposed change, with its notification to the Board it shall submit a written statement detailing the reasons for such disapproval. Failure to submit such a statement to the Board within the thirty (30) day period shall be deemed approval of such change. Should the Association file such written statement of disapproval in a timely manner, the Board shall respond within thirty (30) days. The Board reserves the right to proceed with the change as proposed, and the Association reserves the right to seek review of that action through the grievance procedure. Any such grievance shall be filed at the arbitration level, pursuant to the expedited arbitration procedures of the American Arbitration Association, as such procedures may be amended by mutual agreement of the parties.
