Sterilizations Clause Samples

The 'Sterilizations' clause defines the rules and requirements surrounding sterilization procedures within the context of the agreement. It typically outlines who is authorized to perform sterilizations, the standards or protocols that must be followed, and any necessary documentation or consent required before the procedure can take place. For example, it may specify that only licensed medical professionals can conduct sterilizations and that informed consent must be obtained from the patient. The core function of this clause is to ensure that sterilizations are performed safely, ethically, and in compliance with applicable laws, thereby protecting both the parties involved and the individuals undergoing the procedure.
Sterilizations. Sterilization shall mean any medical procedure, treatment or operation done for the purpose of rendering an individual permanently incapable of reproducing. The CONTRACTOR shall cover sterilizations only if the following requirements are met: 2.7.8.2.1 At least thirty (30) calendar days, but not more than one hundred eighty (180) calendar days, have passed between the date of informed consent and the date of the sterilization, except in the case of premature delivery or emergency abdominal surgery. A member may consent to be sterilized at the time of a premature delivery or emergency abdominal surgery if at least seventy-two (72) hours have passed since the member gave informed consent for the sterilization. In the case of premature delivery, the informed consent must have been given at least thirty (30) calendar days before the expected date of delivery; 2.7.8.2.2 The member is at least twenty-one (21) years old at the time consent is obtained; 2.7.8.2.3 The member is mentally competent; 2.7.8.2.4 The member is not institutionalized (i.e., not involuntarily confined or detained under a civil or criminal status in a correctional or rehabilitative facility or confined in a mental hospital or other facility for the care and treatment of mental illness, whether voluntarily or involuntarily committed); and 2.7.8.2.5 The member has voluntarily given informed consent on the approved “STERILIZATION CONSENT FORM” which is available on TENNCARE’s web site. The form shall be available in English and Spanish, and the CONTRACTOR shall provide assistance in completing the form when an alternative form of communication is necessary.

An member may consent to be sterilized at the time of a premature delivery or emergency abdominal surgery, if at least 72 hours have passed since the member gave informed consent for the sterilization. In the case of premature delivery, the informed consent must have been given at least 30 days before the expected date of delivery. The MCO will not cover hysterectomies performed solely for the purpose of terminating reproductive capability (sterilization). Refer to the Hysterectomies section of the MCO Manual for additional information. The physician who obtains the consent must share the Sterilization Consent form with all providers involved in that member’s care (e.g., attending physician, hospital, anesthesiologist, and assistant surgeon). Members who undergo a covered hysterectomy must complete a Hysterectomy Consent form but are not required to complete a Sterilization Consent form. For services requiring a Sterilization Consent form, the member’s name on the Medicaid file for the date of service must be the same as the name signed at the time of consent. If the member’s name is different, the provider must attach a letter from the provider’s office from which the consent was obtained. The letter must be signed by the physician and must state the member’s name has changed and must include the member’s social security number and date of birth. Prior to reimbursement, the Plan will ensure that the Sterilization Consent form is obtained. The Plan will allow ancillary providers and hospitals to submit claims without the hard copy consent. The Plan will reimburse these providers only if the provider performing the sterilization submitted a valid sterilization consent and was reimbursed for the procedure. • Claims
