1. Q2 FY2020
Financial Statements
The quarterly financial statements for Q2 FY2020
(quarter ending December 31, 2019) have been filed on SEDAR under
the Company’s profile.
Highlights:
- Revenues increased by 56% over the previous quarter.
- The Company came within $77,000 of cashflow positive, with
one-time expenses including payment of outstanding legal fees from
the litigation concluded in July, 2019 and payment for outstanding
contract development fees accounting for the higher than projected
expenditures.
- Subsequent to the quarter ending December 31, 2019, the Company
received gross proceeds of $998,925 from option exercises by
employees and consultants.
- The Company does not expect to need to raise
funds to reach profitability in 2020.
2. Review of New
Contracts
As previously disclosed, the Company has signed
several significant new contracts, in keeping with its strategy to
expand throughout the US and to focus on clients with larger
patient populations. The new clients include:
- Comprehensive Partners - Over 25,000 eligible Medicare patients
across Florida to be onboarded onto the iUGO Care Remote Patient
Monitoring (RPM) and Chronic Care Management (CCM) platform.
Go-live was March 2, 2020.
- MaxMD - Reliq has partnered with MaxMD, a leading US provider
of secure healthcare information technology and interoperability
solutions. MaxMD has customers in all 50 States and Puerto
Rico, including hospitals, outpatient facilities, health
departments, commercial payors and Medicare & Medicaid.
The partnership allows MaxMD to offer their clients new options to
expand access to care, improve health outcomes and reduce
healthcare costs by using Reliq’s iUGO Care Remote Patient
Monitoring (RPM) and Chronic Care Management (CCM) platform, and
enables Reliq to “plug and play” with multiple complex legacy
clinical information systems using MaxMD’s powerful
interoperability technology.
- Blum Telehealth - Over 50,000 eligible Medicare patients
receiving care through more than 150 Rural Health Clinics (RHCs)
and Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) throughout Louisiana
to be onboarded onto the iUGO Care CCM and BHI platform.
Go-live scheduled for April 2020.
In order to secure these larger scale contracts
and prepare for go-lives in March and April, the Company redirected
many of its resources away from Texas for the past few
months. Normal operations are expected to resume in Texas in
early Q4 FY2020.
3. Review of
Behavioral Health Billing Codes
Behavioral Health Integration (BHI) enhances
standard primary care by adding two key services: care management
support for patients receiving behavioral health treatment and
regular psychiatric inter-specialty consultation. Integrating
behavioral health care with primary care can improve outcomes and
reduce healthcare costs associated with ER visits and inpatient
admissions for the millions of Americans with mental or behavioral
health conditions. Reliq’s new iUGO Care BHI module allows
clinicians to leverage the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services (CMS) billing codes for General BHI Services and
Psychiatric Collaborative Care Model Services (CoCM) to improve
patient care and generate substantial new revenues for their
practices. These billing codes include:
- CPT 99492: Initial psychiatric care management (70
minutes)
o Approximately $162 USD per patient
- CPT 99493 - Ongoing psychiatric care management (60 minutes per
month)
o Approximately $129 USD/patient/month
- CPT 99494 - Additional 30 minutes/month of psychiatric care
management
o Approximately $67 USD/patient/month
- CPT 99484 - General BHI care management services (20 minutes
per month)
o Approximately $48 USD/patient/month
4. Review of Call
Center Support Services
As previously disclosed, the Company opened a US
Sales Office and Call Center in Port St Lucie, Florida to provide
paid support services for its clients, including onboarding,
training, patient engagement and case management. The
services Reliq is able to offer through the Call Center are a key
differentiator for the Company and were critical to securing the
large-scale contracts the Company recently announced (as described
in Section 2 above), and will generate up to $52 per patient per
month in revenue for services, which is in addition to the standard
monthly subscription fees for the iUGO Care Software as a
Service.
5. Update on
Guidance
Going forward the Company will provide guidance
in terms of revenue and margins instead of patient numbers since
the revenue generated per patient varies significantly depending on
the payor (Medicare, Medicaid or private insurer) and the products
and services provided. As larger scale deployments using the
Call Center are part of a new business model for the Company,
management will provide detailed guidance for the rest of calendar
2020 early next quarter (Q4 FY2020 / Q2 CY2020) after the first few
large clients have gone live. Generally, the Company expects
revenues to increase by 50-100% each quarter through fiscal year
2020, with revenue growth accelerating significantly in fiscal year
2021 (July 1, 2020 - June 30, 2021).
6. Date for Next
Quarterly Update Webinar
The Company’s Q3 FY2020 financial statements are
due to be filed on or before June 1, 2020. The Q3 FY2020
corporate update webinar will be scheduled on or before June 2,
2020.
