The Parties enter into this Agreement with the intent of conducting their relationship in full compliance with applicable federal, state, and local laws, including, but not limited to, the Medicare/Medicaid anti-fraud and abuse statutes and regulations, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended, the Texas Medical Practice Act, and the Texas Health and Safety Code. Notwithstanding any unanticipated effect of any of the provisions in this Agreement, neither Party shall intentionally conduct itself (and shall take particular care to assure that no employee or agent of the respective Party conducts itself) under the terms and conditions of this Agreement in a manner that constitutes a violation of any law or in a manner that would jeopardize either Party’s participation in any federal or state healthcare program, including, without limitation, Medicare or Medicaid. In the event any state or federal laws or regulations, now existing or enacted or promulgated after the effective date of this Agreement, are interpreted by judicial decision, a regulatory agency, or legal counsel of Nobilis or Physician in such a manner as to indicate that the structure of this Agreement may be in violation of such laws or regulations, Nobilis and Physician shall engage in commercially reasonable negotiations to amend this Agreement as necessary. To the maximum extent possible, any such amendment shall preserve the underlying economic and financial arrangements between Nobilis and Physician.
