i. Claims Processing Services. KPP shall provide the claims processing
services related to Claims for prescriptions dispensed on or after the
Effective Date of this Agreement. KPP agrees to process Claims received
from Participating Pharmacies and Eligible Members, determine whether
such Claims qualify for reimbursement in accordance with the terms of the
Benefit Plan, and determine the payment applicable to them. KPP further
agrees to process Claims within National Council for Prescription Drug
Programs (NCPDP) adopted by the HIPAA Regulations for Electronic
Transactions. KPP shall process Claims within the time frames
established by applicable state and federal law and corresponding to the
industry standards. Upon termination of this Agreement, KPP shall be

providing education and ongoing communication with pharmacies.
Unless mutually agreed to prior to the execution date of the Agreement, the Plan
acknowledges that KPP uses zero -balance logic as defined by the industry for all of
its networks.
KPP agrees that the Plan may, with reasonable justification, require the termination of
a specific retail pharmacy for good cause including quality of care issues and loss of
appropriate licensure. The Plan further agrees that KPP may, with reasonable
justification, terminate a specific retail pharmacy. KPP shall notify the Plan of any
terminations material to the Plan in the Participating Pharmacy network.
Payments to Participating Pharmacies. KPP agrees to pay to the Participating
Pharmacies, on behalf of the Plan, reimbursement as may be agreed upon by

3. Rebate Program
i. Participation in Program. Subject to the provisions of this Section, and

prescription drugs dispensed to Eligible Members who are covered by the
Plan or by plans that utilize the Plan which meet the following criteria:
1. The Plan develops, publishes, presents and distributes a drug
formulary or other preferred drug list consistent with KPP's
Eagle County Government Page 120
recommended drug formulary and/or the Plan's customized
formulary, including all subsequent revisions; and

respective Pharmaceutical Manufacturers for the Plan's applicable
agreements.
KPP will provide the Plan updated formulary document templates in a
mutually agreeable format on an annual basis and no later than twenty (20)

full rebate disclosure and verify all monies billed and recovered.
Moreover, should KPP receive any fees or other compensation from

Agreement, on behalf of the Plan, KPP will receive the rebates paid by
manufacturers to the Plan. KPP shall pay to the Plan the amount received
from pharmaceutical manufacturers for all rebate programs as applied to
those eligible Claims, attributable to the Plan utilizing the Plan's Eligible
Members' prescriptions. KPP shall direct payment to the Plan every
calendar quarter all such monies received from pharmaceutical companies
for eligible prescriptions. KPP shall calculate all amounts at the close of
the calendar quarter in accordance with its standard rebate calculation and
disbursement methods and policies.
iv. Eligible Rebate Data. Drug utilization generated from any program for
providing pharmacy discounts in the absence of satisfactory pharmacy
coverage underwritten by the Plan shall not be eligible to participate in the
rebate program. Drug utilization which has been submitted by any entity
other than KPP including, but not limited to the following government
entities: Medicaid; Medicare; or other state or federal health care program
which receives rebates, discounts, or other forms of price reduction
directly or indirectly from pharmaceutical manufacturers, shall not be
eligible to participate in this Program. The Plan shall clearly identify to
KPP all members whose drug utilization or claims have been otherwise
submitted to pharmaceutical manufacturers or whose claims have been or
will be filed for reimbursement with government entities, including
Medicaid, Medicare, or any state or federal health care program. If the
Plan fails to identify such known members, pharmacies or claims and any
Eagle County Government Page 121
pharmaceutical manufacturer's audit of its rebate program reveals
improperly calculated rebates involving such members or claims, then the
Plan shall be solely responsible for the reimbursement of any rebates
improperly made or calculated and any corresponding refunds associated
with the audit.
v. Rebate Limitations. Except where KPP has caused any of the above or
been a party to such failure, loss, cost or expenses, the Plan waives,
releases, and forever discharges KPP from any claims, demands, losses,
attorneys' fees, costs, expenses, or liabilities of any nature, whether known
or unknown, arising from (i) a Pharmaceutical Manufacturer's breach of
an agreement related to this Agreement; or (ii) a Pharmaceutical
Manufacturer's negligence or misconduct. The Plan acknowledges that
rebates will not be paid with respect to claims submitted by Medicaid
agencies.

preclude KPP from pursuing other, independent sources of revenue from
pharmaceutical manufacturers, and engaging in other revenue-producing
relationships with pharmaceutical manufacturers.

participate in the KPP clinical and formulary programs. Clinical programs shall
include:

benefit plan development, set-up and administration on behalf of the Plan.
KPP will set up and maintain plans via plan implementation documents
provided by the Plan to KPP. The Plan and KPP shall mutually agree on
Eagle County Government Page 122
the format of the implementation documents; however, the Plan will have
the ultimate responsibility for approving any pharmacy benefit design.

fraudulent and/or suspicious behaviors based on desk or onsite audits. Additional
information on suspicious activity may be received from Plan; KPP's customer
service center; news media and journals; and anti -fraud organization meetings and
communications. The FWA program includes:
Prospective Audit — KPP's FWA prospective audit tool reviews approved claims for
discrepancies prior to payment, based on various FWA algorithms. Participating

the investigation prior to claims payment processing. Plan receives a report each
quarter identifying any lass prevented by KPP's early pre -payment intervention.
Retrospective Audit — KPP FWA retrospective claim audit focuses on known
potential and suspected areas of aberrant behavior, using MEDIC reported targets,
areas of high incidence of fraud and other potential areas of FWA, data mining, and
other reports. Special desk audits may be done to monitor individuals, Participating
Pharmacies, and/or regions known to have a history of fraudulent activity. Plan
receives five (5) reports and a quarterly summary report outlining all audit activity
completed during the quarter.
Research and Investigation — Plan may request that KPP conduct additional research
on Participating Pharmacies, Eligible Members, or prescribers displaying potentially
fraudulent and/or suspicious behaviors based on information provided to Plan by
KPP, Eligible Members, or Plan's special investigations unit. KPP researches
reported suspicious activity, which may include contacting applicable parties by
letter, fax, or telephone. A report is completed and sent to Plan. A maximum of
fifteen (15) hours per year included in fee.
