Exhibit 10.14.1
AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT FOR THE PROVISION OF SERVICES
BETWEEN
AMERICAN PSYCH SYSTEMS, INC. AND PRIORITY HEALTH
THIS AMENDMENT, entered into this 1st day of December, 1998, is by and
between Priority Health, a Michigan nonprofit corporation and licensed health
maintenance organization ("Priority Health") and American Psych Systems, Inc., a
Maryland corporation ("APS").
WHEREAS, Priority Health and APS entered into an Agreement for the
Provision of Services (the "Agreement"), whereby APS agreed to provide certain
management and training services relating to the provision and administration of
mental health and chemical dependency services for Priority Health members in
accordance with the terms of contracts between employers or individuals and
Priority Health or any plan administered by Priority Health Managed Benefits,
Inc. ("Managed Benefits"); and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 11.1 of the Agreement, the Agreement may be
amended or modified by the mutual, written agreement of the parties; and
WHEREAS, the parties desire to amend the terms of the Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the mutual covenants
contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, it is mutually covenanted and agreed
by and between the parties as follows:
1. Section 5.1(e) is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
(e) APS shall look only to Priority Health for compensation for services
rendered to a Member when such services are covered by Priority
Health's Subscriber Group Contracts. APS agrees not to ▇▇▇▇, charge,
collect a deposit from, seek compensation from, seek remuneration
from, surcharge or have any recourse against Member or person acting
on behalf of Member (other than Priority Health), except to the
extent that Copayments are specified in the Subscriber Group
Contracts or as permitted under the Coordination of Benefits Section
of the Certificate of Coverage. APS agrees not to maintain any
action at law or in equity against a Member to collect sums that are
owed by Priority Health to APS under the terms of this Agreement,
even in the event Priority Health fails to pay, becomes insolvent or
otherwise breaches the terms and conditions of this Agreement. This
Section shall survive termination of this Agreement, regardless of
the cause of termination and shall be construed to be for the
benefit of Member. This Section is not intended to apply to services
provided after this Agreement has been terminated, except as
otherwise provided in this Agreement, or to Non-Covered Services.
APS further agrees that this provision supersedes any oral or
written agreement, hereinafter entered into between APS and Member
or persons
acting on Member's behalf, insofar as such agreement relates to
payment for services provided under the terms and conditions of this
Agreement.
2. Section 8.3 is revised by adding the following at the end of the Section:
Notwithstanding the foregoing, APS agrees that Priority Health, together
with duly authorized third parties, will have the right to inspect,
review, and make copies of records directly related to the Covered
Services rendered to Members, upon reasonable notice, during regular
business hours. APS also agrees that authorized regulatory agencies may
inspect, review, and make copies of records to the extent permitted by
law.
3. All other terms and conditions remain in full force and effect.
