Amendments Clause
(Managed Care Contracts)

Summary

This amendments clause establishes how the parties to a managed care agreement between an insurer and healthcare provider may modify their existing agreement. This clause includes practical guidance and drafting notes. Insurance is primarily regulated at the state level. Accordingly, contract provisions must be drafted to comply with applicable state law. The American Medical Association provides one resource to help identify state managed care contracting requirements at Managed Care Legal Database.
