RULES FOR NETWORK USE Clause Samples
The "Rules for Network Use" clause defines the standards and requirements that users must follow when accessing or utilizing a particular network. Typically, this clause outlines acceptable and prohibited behaviors, such as restrictions on illegal activities, security protocols, and guidelines for data usage or sharing. By establishing clear expectations for network conduct, this clause helps maintain network integrity, protect users and resources, and prevent misuse or abuse of the network infrastructure.

RULES FOR NETWORK USE. The Rules for Network Use will be used by the parties in determining in and out-of- network benefits. In addition, the parties agree to set up a joint committee for the purpose of creating any additional guidelines and reviewing implementation. The committee will also be charged with identifying situations in which access to non- participating providers may be necessary and developing procedures to avoid balance billing in these situations. The parties have also discussed the fact that there are some state employees who do not live in Michigan. The following are procedures in place for persons living or traveling outside Michigan: Members who need medical care when away from Michigan can take advantage of the Third Party Administrator’s National PPO program. There is a toll-free number for members to call in order to be directed to the nearest PPO provider. The member is not required to pay the physician or hospital at the time of service if he/she presents the PPO identification card to the network provider. If a member is traveling he/she must seek services from a PPO provider. Failure to seek such services from a PPO provider will result in a member being treated as out-of-network unless the member was seeking services as the result of an emergency. If a member resides out of state and seeks non-emergency services from a non- PPO provider, he/she will be treated as out-of-network. If there is not adequate access to a PPO provider, exceptions will be handled on a per case basis.
