DHCS may immediately terminate this Agreement for cause if Provider is suspended/excluded for any of the reasons set forth in Paragraph 26(a) below, which termination will result in Provider's immediate disenrollment and exclusion (without formal hearing under the Administrative Procedures Act) from further participation in the Medi-Cal program.
