- The agreement grants the Contracted Organization a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use Service Provider SaaS offerings in accordance with the terms of the agreement.
- Contracted Organization will provide a patient list to the Service Provider that will include the First Name, Last Name, Date of Birth, Gender, Email, Mobile or Contact Number. The Contracted Organization will provide contact information that may be included in the patient engagement for any patient to contact about the program or other questions. If the initial program has other qualifying criteria, then that will also be included. This information will be provided to the Service Provider within 21 days of this agreement being signed.
- Service Provider will set an instance of the Service Provider Software (SaaS) specifically for the Contracted Organization including a Dashboard for encounter documentation, reporting, and other functionality that may be available from the Service Provider for the purpose of performing and managing the functionality deemed necessary by either Party. The SaaS instance will be available to the Contracted Organization within 14 days of the data submitted as per E above.
- Patient engagement and communication will be through the SaaS Application and the Service Provider will send a Contracted Organization specific communication with the program information and instructions utilizing various forms of messaging to all patients that have been determined by the Service Organization to qualify for the specific Program or Service where an email and or text or SMS number is available to the Service Provider. This Organization specific messaging will include an introduction and follow-up information for the purpose of completing the task assigned to the patient as agreed upon by the Parties. All material and processes related to this process will be provided to and approved by the Contracted Organization and such final approval will be deemed to be part of this agreement as the defined scope. The engagement is on a best-efforts basis and the scope of work is defined in Section H below.
- Engagement with patients where the Service Provider has received contact information as per E above will receive:
- Electronic communications with the initial message that will be attached hereto that defines the program name, program statement and purpose of engagement qualifying criteria, initial introduction message for both email and text, agreement and call to action documentation that will be available to any patient receiving the message which may include a specific “landing page” that provides additional information to any respondent.
- The Software (SaaS) will display responses to the messaging with a link to the PDF of documentation listed by patients. The documentation will be available in the Service Provider Application and the Contracted Organization will be provided access to this Application as a Software as a Service basis. The web link(s) and login information will be provided when available.
- The Contracted Organization will utilize the application provided by the Service Organization to access results of the program and any other available information that the Service Provider makes available.
- Invoices for each patient will be based on the response to the messaging and identified as a program response by the Service Provider. For clarification, once the patient submits the electronic response, that completes the service by the Service Organization. It is up to the Contracted Organization to complete the process of review and billing functions.
- The Service Provider will submit a monthly invoice to the Contracted Organization based on the total count and report listing each response of the patient engagement by all patients. This report will be available in the Software (SaaS) provided by the Service Provider and also attached to the monthly invoice. The price per response defined by H(d) will be a base fee of $20.00 per patient response as determined by the reporting provided by the Service Provider for any reimbursement received that exceeds $30.00 per patient. If the total reimbursement received is less than $30.00, then the Contracted Organization will pay to the Service Provider 50% of the fee collected. The Contracted Organization will have a net thirty (30) days to pay the invoice. If there is a dispute or validation adjustment including nonpayment of claims from CMS or insurance carrier, those must be made known by either party within the 30-day period from the date invoiced and an adjustment may be made to the invoice, but the invoice due date will not be adjusted. All nonpaid claims will roll into the next month’s reconciliation.
