Common use of Readiness Review Clause in Contracts

Readiness Review. The Department will, prior to the signing date, conduct a readiness review of the areas set forth in Section B.2.1 of the Appendices to generally assess the Contractor’s readiness to begin operations and issue a letter to the Contractor that conveys its findings and any changes required before contracting with the Department. Prior to the date of implementation of the MLTSS program covered by this contract, the Contractor shall demonstrate its ability to meet all requirements related to the MLTSS program. The Contractor shall participate in an MLTSS readiness review, which may include, but will not be limited to, desk and on-site reviews of documents provided by the Contractor, a walk-through of the Contractor’s operations, system demonstrations and systems connectivity testing, and interviews with Contractor’s staff Members. The scope of the MLTSS readiness review may include any and all requirements of the Agreement related to the MLTSS program, as determined by DMAHS. Based on the results of the review activities, DMAHS will issue a letter of findings and, if needed, will request an MLTSS corrective action plan from the Contractor. DMAHS will not enroll Members into the Contractor’s MLTSS program until such time as DMAHS has determined that the Contractor is able to meet all requirements related to the MLTSS program. If the Contractor is unable to demonstrate MLTSS readiness prior to its implementation, the Contractor shall cooperate with DMAHS to provide their MLTSS qualified Members with options counseling.
