MMCS tax that PLAN is required to pay to the State Board of Equalization, and shall pay, as
part of the LMMCRR IGT Payments, the remaining amount of the capitation rate increase to
PROVIDER.

increases paid to PLAN by State DHCS as described in this Agreement prior to disbursing
LMMCRR IGT Payments to PROVIDER. PLAN and PROVIDER currently estimate that the
amount of such retained 19.21255 percent will be One Hundred Two Thousand, Eight Hundred

would be a one-time funding allocation for planning and
implementation of pilot programs.
(3) The amounts referenced in this Agreement are estimates. The parties
understand and agree that the total amount of the IGT MMCRRIs paid by the State DHCS to
PLAN may fluctuate as a result of PLAN enrollment. The parties further understand and agree
that any such fluctuations will likewise affect the amount to be retained by PLAN and the

State fiscal year under this Agreement exceed the cost of Medi -Cal services provided to Medi -
