Notice Clause
(Managed Care Contracts)
Summary
This notice clause can be used in a managed care agreement between an insurer and healthcare provider and governs the form and timing of legally binding notice given by one party to another. The notice clause impacts contract assignment, amendment, breach, and termination. This clause includes practical guidance and drafting notes. Proper notice is imperative to reducing the potential for contract disputes and merits a discussion with your client to confirm the provision conforms with your client's expectations for communication between the parties to the underlying agreement.
