transmitted in electronic format rather than hardcopy.

contracting parties. Such amendments must, however, be in writing and must be signed by the authorized
representatives of contracting parties. This Agreement shall not be verbally amended.

documentation of the existence, nature and scope of the services pertaining to a medical assistance claim be
requested, the Provider shall provide the documentation as requested and produce such for examination and
copying at no cost.

Agreement between LDH and the Provider.

complete.
16. I understand that all claims submitted under the conditions of this Agreement will be paid and satisfied from
