Clarifying Information Clause Samples
The Clarifying Information clause serves to provide additional details or explanations to ensure that the terms of the agreement are fully understood by all parties. This clause may specify definitions, elaborate on ambiguous terms, or outline the intent behind certain provisions, helping to prevent misunderstandings. By offering this extra context, the clause ensures clarity and reduces the risk of disputes arising from misinterpretation of the contract's language.
Clarifying Information. The PPS is expected to utilize the preventative care screening based on nationally-accepted best practices determined to be age-appropriate. • Any staffer working at a PCMH/APCM Service Site who is qualified to perform a preventive care screening can do so. However, preventive care screenings conducted with a patient via telepsychiatry alone will not count within this active engagement definition. • Appropriate screenings would only count if the PCP or the clinical staff is provided the results of the screen and they are incorporated into the medical record. • The expectation of co-located primary care-behavioral health site is that there is a licensed behavioral health provider on site engaged in the practice. In order to be considered actively engaged by definitions set by CNYCC, Medicaid members must: • Have traditional Medicaid, be dually eligible for Medicaid and Medicare, or be a member of Medicaid Managed Care (e.g. Fidelis, Total Care or United Healthcare) AND • Have received the appropriate preventive care screenings that include mental/substance abuse from the table below AND Screened For: Screen Used: Depression/Suicide PHQ-2/PHQ-9/A (depression, adults/adolescents) Edinburgh scale (postpartum depression) CES-DC (Depression Scale for Children) (ages 6-17 yr) Columbia Rating Scale (suicide, children up to adults) Zung-Self Rated Depression Scale Modified Mini Screen (Depression and Anxiety) Mood and Feelings Questionnaire (ages 8-18) Anxiety GAD-7 (anxiety, children, adults) SCARED (children, parents) Modified Mini Screen (Depression and Anxiety) PSWQ (youth) Bipolar disorder Young Mania Rating Scale (youth) Child Mania Rating Scale-Parent (parent of youth) Substance Use/Abuse Including Tobacco CRAFFT (substance abuse, 12-18 yrs) MSSI (substance abuse, adults) CAGE SSI-AOD Simple Screening Instrument for Alcohol and Other Drugs Audit C – for Alcohol ASSIST DAST-10 Social/Emotional/Psychosocial ASQ-SE (social-emotional, ages at stages, 6 mos to 5 yrs) SDQ-2 (strengths and difficulties, 6-16 yrs) Pediatric Symptom Checklist (Children) Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaires (Children) Modified Overt Aggression Scale (MOAS; clinician rating) MOAS (retrospective; parent) ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Child Behavior Rating Form (CBRF long; parent) Outburst Monitoring Scale NEW ADHD Edelbrock Rating Scale Vanderbilt Parent Rating ADHD Rating Scale (adults) Autism Modified CHAT (M-CHAT; parent) M-CHAT Follow Up Eating Disorders Eating Attitude Test BULIT-R • Have NOT been...
Clarifying Information. Primary Care Services are defined as preventive care screenings billed through Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes. • The mental health are substance abuse sites have to be Partners in the Network Tool in order to count. • Any staffer working at a Behavioral Health Site who is qualified to perform a preventive care screening as required within the project can do so. • Appropriate screenings would only count if the PCP or the clinical staff is provided the results of the screen and they are incorporated into the medical record. • The only types of “primary care providers” that may be utilized to provide primary care services within the BH site are participating PCPs, NPs and physician assistants working closely with a PCP. In order to be considered actively engaged by definitions set by CNYCC, Medicaid members must: • Have traditional Medicaid, be dually eligible for Medicaid and Medicare, or be a member of Medicaid Managed Care (e.g. Fidelis, Total Care or United Healthcare) AND • Have received primary care services from the list below at a participating mental health or substance abuse sites
Clarifying Information. “Participating patients” are people experience acutely psychotic episode or who are otherwise behaviorally unstable, who may potentially be referred to the ED, but who are instead diverted to more appropriate crisis stabilization services.
Clarifying Information. WDFW will honor this MOA as it identifies what are considered WSDOT maintenance activities and lists mitigation that WSDOT can and cannot do for maintenance work (see Maintenance Mitigation tables in Appendix A).
Clarifying Information. This rule update is not intended to imply that water crossing structures must fully span the floodplain or fully accommodate channel migration through the life of the structure. WDFW will allow encroachment into the floodplain and channel migration zone. If WSDOT’s new structure is not significantly increasing the main channel average velocity compared to existing conditions, then no compensatory mitigation would be required. If the new structure significantly increases the main channel velocity above existing conditions in such a way that it significantly impacts fish habitat, then WSDOT would need to mitigate. Furthermore, WDFW does not intend to require compliance with any specific design criteria as long as the final design does not measurably impact fishlife. WSDOT and FHWA bridge design methodologies can be used to design a crossing that is adequate for the protection of fish life.
Clarifying Information. WDFW will accept water crossing designs that are compliant with Federal Highway and AASHTO guidelines when they are applied correctly for the protection of fish life.
Clarifying Information. WSDOT has expressed concern that the new definition could trigger a requirement to replace or retrofit existing structures in order to restore habitat that has been lost due to prior development when performing WSDOT maintenance activities. WDFW will honor the 2008 Memorandum of Agreement between WDFW and WSDOT concerning the administration of hydraulic project approvals. Appendix A of the MOA identifies mitigation that WSDOT can and cannot do for certain WSDOT activities. When WSDOT improvement or preservation projects trigger the need to obtain a hydraulic project approval, WDFW will not authorize WSDOT to create the loss of potential fish habitat (as defined above) without requiring mitigation. For example, WDFW would not authorize the loss (or would require mitigation for the loss) of potential fish habitat above a fish passage barrier in cases when it is reasonable to assume that the barrier would someday be removed and the habitat restored. In situations where existing conditions do not support fish life due to previously lost habitat, WSDOT and WDFW will work together to determine when it is reasonable to assume that recovery or restoration efforts are likely to occur.
Clarifying Information. The term “
Clarifying Information. This rule update is not intended to preclude the design of Roughened Channels as water crossing structures. In some instances, this approach may be accepted as a superior way of providing fish passage by simulating reach based processes in locations that have been modified by external effects (e.g. urbanization). A roughened channel is an engineered solution to a stream problem that cannot be solved using natural channel design. As a result, the finished project has operational criteria that must be monitored and corrected if they are out of compliance.
Clarifying Information. WSDOT has expressed concern that the new definition could trigger a requirement to replace or retrofit existing structures in order to restore habitat that has been lost due to prior development when performing WSDOT maintenance activities. WDFW will honor this MOA and Appendix A which identifies mitigation that WSDOT can and cannot do for certain WSDOT activities. When WSDOT improvement or preservation projects trigger the need to obtain an HPA, WDFW will not authorize WSDOT to create the loss of potential fish habitat (as defined above) without requiring mitigation. For example, WDFW would not authorize the loss (or would require mitigation for the loss) of potential fish habitat above a fish passage barrier in cases when it is reasonable to assume that the barrier would someday be removed and the habitat restored. In situations where existing conditions do not support fish life due to previously lost habitat, WSDOT and WDFW will work together to determine when it is reasonable to assume that recovery or restoration efforts are likely to occur.
