The parties enter into this Agreement for the purpose of memorializing the resolution of this matter. 2. BARTOW is a Medicaid provider in the State of Florida, provider number 120413, and was a provider during the relevant period. 3. In its Notice of Agency Action dated February 13, 2015 (the “Notice”), the Agency notified BARTOW that “all cost reports, desk or onsite audits of cost reports, audited per diem reimbursement rates calculated by AHCA, or adjustments to audited per diem reimbursement rates calculated by AHCA relating to the Medicaid inpatient and outpatient reimbursement rates identified in the Exhibit “A” attached thereto were final as that term is [as used in Fla. Stat. §409.905, the Florida Title XIX Inpatient and Outpatient Hospital Bartow Regional Medical Center vs. Agency for Health Care Administration {AHCA No.: 15-236MPF) Settlement Agreement Page 1 of 6 Reimbursement Plans], and therefore not subject to further re-opening or adjustment.” A copy of the Notice is attached hereto as Exhibit “A.” 4. In response to the Notice, on March 13, 2015, BARTOW filed a Petition for Formal Administrative Hearing (“Petition”). A copy of the Petition is attached hereto as Exhibit “B.” The Petition sought an order determining that all of the inpatient and outpatient rates set forth in the Notice were neither correct nor final and that many of the cost reports that the rates were based upon were subject to reopening and adjustment and that the Agency correct these rates and reimburse BARTOW for Medicaid services rendered during these rate semesters based upon the corrected rates. 5. In order to resolve this matter without further administrative proceedings, and based upon additional information reviewed during the pendency of litigation, BARTOW and AHCA agree with the IP-New Rates and the OP-New Rates (‘Revised Rates”) and the IP- Impact of Rate Change and OP-Impact of Rate Change (“payments”) as included in the attached Exhibit “C” (the “Revised Rates and Payments”). AHCA agrees to promptly make payment in the total arnount of $194,711.89, but no later than 90 days after the entry of the Final Order, which shall be entered no later than 90 days after this Agreement is fully executed by the Parties. Further, AHCA agrees to promptly re-process all paid outpatient claims for services rendered during the period July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2014 solely to apply the OP-New Rates set out on Exhibit “C,” in accordance with applicable law. 6. BARTOW and AHCA agree that the Revised Rates as shown on Exhibit “C” supersede the rates set out in the Notice at Exhibit “A” and shall be final and not subject to re- opening or adjustment. Such finality, however, may not affect any reconciliation that AHCA Bartow Regional Medical Center vs. Agency for Health Care Administration {AHCA No.: 15-236MPF) Setilement Agreement Page 2 of 6 may have to make as a matter of law as a result of Medicaid Disproportionate Share Hospital (DSH) Payments. 7. The Parties agree that the completion of the actions set forth in paragraph 5, above, resolve and settle this case completely and release each other from any administrative or civil liabilities arising from the matters raised in the Petition. Such resolution, however, shall not prevent AHCA from recovering any overpayment as authorized by law and consistent with this Settlement Agreement. Further, such release shall not prevent AHCA, the United States, Medicaid Fraud Control Unit, or any other non-signatory to this Agreement from pursuing any action relating to fraud against BARTOW in accordance with law. Lastly, such release shal! not prevent BARTOW from recovering any funds erroneously recouped by AHCA while reprocessing the claims to apply the Revised Rates as described in paragraph 5, supra. 8. This settlement does not constitute an admission of wrongdoing or error by either party with respect to this case or any other matter. 9. The signatories to this Agreement, acting in a representative capacity, represent that they are duly authorized to enter into this Agreement on behalf of the respective parties. 10. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the provisions of the laws of Florida. The exclusive venue for any action arising from this Agreement shall be in Leon County, Florida. 11. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between BARTOW and AHCA, including anyone acting for, associated with or employed by them, concerning all matters and supersedes any prior discussions, agreements or understandings; there are no promises, representations or agreements between BARTOW and AHCA other than as set forth herein. No Bartow Regionat Medica! Center vs. Agency for Health Care Administration {AHCA No.: 15-236MPF) Settlement Agreement Page 3 of 6 modification or waiver of any provision shall be valid unless a written amendment to the Agreement is completed and properly executed by the parties. 12. This is an Agreement of Settlement and Compromise, made in recognition that the parties may have different or incorrect understandings, information and contentions as to facts and law, and with each party compromising and settling any potential correctness or incorrectness of its understandings, information and contentions as to facts and law, so that no misunderstanding or misinformation shall be a ground for rescission hereof. 13. BARTOW expressly waives in this matter its right to any hearing pursuant to sections 120.569 or 120.57, Florida Statutes, the making of findings of fact and conclusions of law by the Agency, and all further and other proceedings to which it may be entitled by law or rules of the Agency regarding this proceeding and any and all issues raised herein regarding this proceeding; provided, however, BARTOW does not waive its right to enforce this Agreement or to challenge any errors resulting from the application of the July 1, 2012 and July 1, 2013 Revised Rates to the outpatient claims for that period. BARTOW further agrees that it shall not challenge or contest any Final Order entered in this matter that is consistent with the terms of this Agreement in any forum now or in the future available to it, including the right to any administrative proceeding, circuit or federal court action or any appeal. 14. The parties agree to bear their own attorney’s fees and costs. 15. This Agreement is and shall be deemed jointly drafted and written by all parties to it and shall not be construed or interpreted against the party originating or preparing it. 16. To the extent that any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law for any reason, such provision shall be effective to the extent not so prohibited, and such prohibition shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement; provided, however, if any provision of Bartow Regional Medica! Center vs. Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA No.: 15-236MPF) Settlement Agreement Page 4 of 6 this Agreement regarding the payments required herein is prohibited by law, this Agreement is null and void and of no further effect, and AHCA agrees that it will send this appeal back to DOAH for hearing at the request of BARTOW. 17. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding on each party’s successors, assigns, heirs, administrators. representatives and trustees. 18. Al times stated herein are of the essence of this Agreement. 19. The parties acknowledge that AHCA’s payments required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement are subject to and contingent upon the review and approval of the Chief Financial Officer pursuant to his authority as set forth in the Florida Constitution and section 17.03, Florida Statutes, which provides in pertinent part: “The Chief Financial Officer of this state, using generally accepted auditing procedures for testing or sampling, shall examine, audit, and settle all accounts, claims, and demands, whatsoever, against the state, arising under any law or resolution of the Legislature, and issue a warrant directing the payment out of the State Treasury of such amount as he or she allows thereon.” Should the Chief Financial Officer not approve such payments, then this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further effect, and AHCA shall immediately refer the matter to DOAH for a formal administrative hearing. 20. This Agreement shall be in full force and effect upon execution by the respective parties in counterpart; provided, however, if AHCA does not execute the agreement within 90 days of execution by the hospital, such hospital may, in its sole discretion, withdraw its acceptance of the agreement at any point thereafter.

Petitioner has not had adequate time to review all of the rates and cost reports identified in Exhibit A, and cannot file a petition(s) that address all of the errors in all of the rates within 21 days. However, Petitioner belicves, based upon information and belief, that its rates for rate semesters beginning on or after July 1, 2001, are erroneous for the reasons set forth below. Further determinations may be made based upon discovery in this matter. (a) An incorrect number of private room days are included on the audited cost feports for these rates semesters. Some of these errors were caused by AHCA’s agent, First Coast Services Options, Inc. (“FCSO”) during audit, and some were caused by the Petitioner. Additionally, some of the errors were caused by AHCA by taking the wrong number from the cost report in actually setting the rates. As a result of using the wrong number of private room days, the amount of routine costs that were apportioned to Medicaid costs on each cost report was erroncously low, This resulted in an erroncously low rates for each rate semester.

(d) ‘The Paid Claim Listings (“PCLs”) for services that AHCA provided to Petitioner each year were erroneous; it included truncated numbers for charges and days and summaries did not agree with the detailed information on the reports or failed to include days or charges completely. Additionally, it misclassifies the number of total days and Medicaid days as to whether they are routine, ICU, CCU or other.
