8 Agreement Number 57-99-0171 least thirty (30) calendar days in advance of termination, unless an emergency situation requires the immediate relocation of Federal detainees. Where the Local Government has received a Cooperative Agreement Program (CAP) award, the termination provisions of the CAP prevail. Assignment and Outsourcing of ]ail Operations The overall management and operation of the Facility housing Federal detainees may not be contracted out without the prior express written consent of the Federal Government. Medical Services The Local Government shall provide Federal detainees with the same level and range of care inside the Facility as that provided to state and local detainees. The Local Government is financially responsible for all medical care provided inside the Facility to Federal detainees. This includes the cost of all medical, dental, and mental health care as well as the cost of medical supplies, over--the-counter medications and, any prescription medications routinely stocked by the Facility which are provided to Federal detainees. When possible, generic medications should be prescribed. The cost of all of the above-referenced medical care is covered by the Federal per diem rate. However, for specialized medical services not routinely provided within the Facility, such as dialysis, the Federal Government will pay for the cost of that service. The Federal Government is financially responsible for all medical care provided outside the Facility to Federal detainees. The Federal Government must be billed directly by outside medical care providers pursuant to arrangements made by the Local Government for outside medical care. The Local Government should utilize outside medical care providers that are covered by the USMS`s National Managed Care Contract (NMCC) to reduce the costs and administrative workload associated with these medical services. The Local Government can obtain information about NMCC covered providers from the local USMS District Office. The Federal Government will be billed directly by the medical care provider not the Local Government. To ensure that Medicare rates are properly applied, medical claims for Federal detainees must be on Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) Forms so that they can be re-priced to Medicare rates in accordance with the provisions of Title 18 U.S.C. Section 4006. If the Local Government receives any bills for medical care provided to Federal detainees outside the Facility, the Local Government should immediately forward those bills to the Federal Government for processing. All outside medical care provided to Federal detainees must be pre-approved by the Federal Government except in a medical emergency. In the event of an emergency, the Local Government shall proceed immediately with necessary medical treatment. In such Page 4 of 14 Local Government (initial} Federal Government (initial):
