Network Providers. During the term of this Agreement, ACS will maintain a fully-credentialed network of ancillary health care service providers and will provide HealthSmart Participants access to those Network Providers. ACS will supply the names and provider demographics for each Network Provider to HealthSmart at least monthly in a mutually agreed-upon electronic format. HSPC shall not exclude ACS Network Providers for any purpose or reason other than the exceptions of (1) the necessity to have the provider remain with the HSPC network, (2) participation in ACS network would prohibit the provider from representation by HSPC for contracting via the administrative fee business model, and (3) inclusion of the ACS provider would cause potential harm or discord to HSPC provider rates or relationships. ACS will not notify its Network Providers that HealthSmart Participants will begin utilizing the Network Providers. ACS will notify their network providers of any new payor to the ACS network that HSPC participants will begin utilizing. The network contact letter must be approved by HSPC.
