inconvenient forum. If either Party brings any claim or lawsuit arising from this Agreement, each Party shall pay all its
legal costs and attorney's fees and expenses incurred in defending or bringing such claim or lawsuit,including all appeals,
in addition to any other recovery or award provided by law;however,nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to limit

warrants that such individual is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Agreement.This Agreement may be executed in

making proof hereof, it shall only be necessary to produce one such counterpart.The signature and acknowledgment pages
from such counterparts may be assembled together to form a single instrument comprised of all pages of this Agreement
and a complete set of all signature and acknowledgment pages. The date upon which the last of all of the Parties have

EXHIBIT A 11-

AUDIT SCOPE
JGI will request a complete claims, eligibility and banking file from Kaiser covering the audit
period,January 2018 through June 2019. We will query the data for a wide variety of potential
errors, including but not limited to:
• Duplicate claims
• Eligibility confirmation
• Coordination of Benefits and other Third Party Liability
• Pricing of claims to network discounts, UCR or other out-of;network limits
• Modifier discounts such as multiple procedures,assistant surgeons
• Medical edits such as unbundling of codes
• Patient portions—deductible,copayments, coinsurance
• Plan benefit limits and covered services
• Timely filing
• Turnaround time
• Authorizations
• Accurate data entry including member,provider,payee(tested on site only)
Audit staff will review the output of these detailed queries and determine how best to
construct the claim sample to maximize recoveries, resolve any high-dollar potential errors,and
address all systemic concerns. We will request a sample size of 200 claims, though the audit
can be accomplished with fewer site visit claims if required. JGI will identify the maximum
number of contract review selections to ensure that we test pricing and contractual terms on
the highest paid facilities.
The project includes a one-week site visit at the Kaiser claims facility. Our audit staff will review
the sample claims while on site and will write-up all potential errors for review by Kaiser. We
would expect the majority if not all of the answers to these write-ups during the site visit week.
Within two weeks of answers to write-ups, we will provide the Draft Audit Report and out-of-
sample claims to both Kaiser and City of Federal Way. We will incorporate the formal response
from Kaiser into a Final Audit Report. The last stage of the audit process includes a meeting(s)
between City of Federal Way, Kaiser and JGI to plan resolution of all findings including recovery
and root cause correction where appropriate.
