Reliq Health Technologies Inc. (TSXV:RHT or
OTCQB:RQHTF) (“
Reliq” or the
“
Company”), a technology company focused on
developing innovative mobile health (mHealth) and telemedicine
solutions for Community-Based Healthcare, today announced that it
has signed a contract with Direct Access at Home to provide its
iUGO Care Chronic Care Management (CCM) and Behavioral Health
Integration (BHI) platform to over 25,000 eligible Medicare
patients in Florida. The contract also includes Reliq’s
integration partner, Blum Telehealth.
“We are thrilled to be working with Direct
Access at Home to provide our iUGO Care Chronic Care Management
(CCM) and Psychiatric Collaborative Care Services (CoCM) modules
for Behavioral Health Integration to their more than 25,000
Medicare patients throughout Florida,” said Dr. Lisa Crossley, CEO
of Reliq Health Technologies, Inc. “Studies consistently show
that both patients with chronic conditions and physically healthy
seniors have better health outcomes, are able to live independently
longer and report higher Quality of Life scores when they are
provided with access to mental health services. The Centers
for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) billing codes that
enable clinicians to bill for both CCM and BHI/CoCM recognize the
relationship between mental and physical health, and support
clinical caregivers who want to treat the whole patient to achieve
the best possible outcomes. We are also very pleased to once
again be working with our integration partner, Blum Telehealth, on
this account.”
Onboarding will start in April and is expected
to be completed within the next 6 months. Each patient on the
platform will generate an average of $65 USD per month in SaaS and
support service fees for Reliq.
“We selected iUGO Care after an extensive review
of all available options because the software is secure, easy to
use and fits seamlessly with our existing workflows,” said Larry
Beuer, CEO of Direct Access at Home. “At Direct Access at
Home our mission is to eliminate barriers to care and provide
access to high quality health care in the home. Reliq’s iUGO
Care platform will help us support our clients’ physical and mental
health from the comfort of their own homes, enabling them to
preserve their independence and quality of life.”
