Selective Contracting Clause Samples

The Selective Contracting clause allows a party, typically an insurer or service provider, to choose specific providers or vendors with whom they will enter into contractual relationships. In practice, this means that not all potential providers are guaranteed participation; instead, only those meeting certain criteria or standards are selected, often based on quality, cost, or geographic considerations. This clause helps organizations control costs, maintain quality standards, and manage networks more effectively by limiting contractual relationships to preferred or qualified providers.
Selective Contracting. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.08.01, the Contractor is expected to utilize selective contracting and/or preferred provider initiatives for non-primary care and non-urgent services in order to secure the best price for services while maintaining quality and timely access.
Selective Contracting. Procurement processes and the subsequent final contracts developed to implement selective contracting by the Commonwealth with any provider group shall be subject to CMS approval prior to implementation, except for contracts authorized pursuant to 42 C.F.R. section 431.54(d). Capitation Rate Development. Capitation rates for MCOs and Partnership Plans shall comply with the rate development and certification standards in 42 CFR §438. The Commonwealth shall develop its capitation rates in a manner consistent with Attachment O.
Selective Contracting. Procurement processes and the subsequent final contracts developed to implement selective contracting by the Commonwealth with anyprovider group shall be subject to CMS approval prior to implementation, except for contracts authorized pursuant to 42 C.F.R. section 431.54(d).
Selective Contracting. The state may pursue selective contracting in order to restrict the provider from (or through) whom an individual can obtain services. Emergency services and family planning services will not be covered by this provision. Providers with whom the state contracts will meet, accept, and comply with the reimbursement, quality, and utilization standards under the state plan, which standards shall be consistent with section 1923 of the Act. These standards are consistent with access, quality, and efficient and economic provision of covered care and services. Restrictions on providers will not discriminate among classes of providers on grounds unrelated to their demonstrated effectiveness and efficiency in providing those services. If the state pursues selective contracting for nursing facilities, the state must submit, for CMS review and approval, a description of the process for selecting providers of nursing facility services and allocating nursing facility beds. The state must demonstrate that the process used to select providers of nursing facility services and to allocate Medicaid reimbursed nursing facility beds is consistent with access, quality, and efficient and economic provision of care and services for all participants needing nursing facility services including special regard to access to services for individuals with complex long-term care needs.
