Scope of Services
Describe permitted clinical activities, hours or shifts, site locations, and any duties excluded from the engagement to prevent scope creep and billing errors.
A well-drafted Healthcare CP ICA reduces legal ambiguity about duties, payment, and liability, supports HIPAA compliance, and helps protect against worker‑classification and insurance disputes while documenting credentialing and insurance obligations.
Coordination between contracting, credentialing, billing, and legal reduces rework and speeds execution while preserving regulatory compliance.
Manages the provider onboarding process, verifies credentialing documentation, negotiates compensation structure and termination rights, and coordinates internal approvals across legal and billing teams.
Provides licensure, NPI, malpractice insurance details, signs to accept scope and compensation, and remains responsible for meeting clinical quality and documentation standards while acting as an independent contractor.
Describe permitted clinical activities, hours or shifts, site locations, and any duties excluded from the engagement to prevent scope creep and billing errors.
Specify effective date, renewal mechanics, notice periods, and immediate-termination causes such as license suspension, criminal conviction, or HIPAA breaches.
Detail payment method, invoicing cadence, reimbursement for services, withholding responsibilities (if any), and any fee‑for‑service or percent‑of‑collections arrangements.
State minimum coverage limits, claims‑made vs occurrence requirements, tail coverage responsibility, and certificate submission deadlines to satisfy credentialing.
Include HIPAA obligations and required BAAs where protected health information is exchanged, and define permitted disclosures and security controls.
Allocate liability, caps on damages if any, and procedures for defense and settlement to reduce downstream disputes and clarify risk allocation.
