HAMILTON, Ontario, Nov. 04, 2021 — Reliq Health Technologies Inc. (TSXV:RHT or OTC:RQHTF or WKN:A2AJTB) (“Reliq” or the “Company“), a rapidly growing global medtech company that develops innovative Virtual Care solutions for the multi-billion dollar Healthcare market, today announced that it has signed contracts with six new clients in the US including three home health agencies, a nephrology practice and two primary care physician practices. The Company has also announced that it has hired a new CFO in Ontario to complete the consolidation of operations to the corporate headquarters in Hamilton.
“We continue to add new clients at an accelerating rate, with a significant percentage of our new clients coming from referrals,” said Dr. Lisa Crossley, CEO of Reliq Health Technologies, Inc. “The fact that so many of our new clients reached out to us after hearing about the iUGO Care platform from our existing clients is a strong testament to the compelling value proposition of our platform. We have clearly proven that using the iUGO Care platform improves health outcomes and reduces hospitalizations for chronic disease patients and generates significant new revenue for clinicians. A typical physician practice can bring in over $1 Million in new payments from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) at profit margins of over 75% by implementing iUGO Care. Proactive, preventative virtual care has the potential to save CMS tens of billions of dollars a year, so using iUGO Care is a win for every constituent in the healthcare system – patients, clinicians and payors. We expect to onboard over 3,500 patients with these new clients at an average revenue of over $50 USD per patient per month for Reliq. Onboarding will begin next month and is expected to be completed in Q1 Calendar Year 2022.”
“We are also pleased to announce that we have hired a new CFO here in Ontario to complete the consolidation of our Canadian operations to the Company headquarters in Hamilton,’ continued Dr. Crossley. “We are very excited to welcome Michael Frankel, CFA, aboard as our new CFO. Michael has worked with a wide variety of global companies ranging from members of the Fortune 100 to early stage start ups. He has experience on all sides of the table having worked as a CFO, Venture Capitalist and Investment Banker. As an Investment Banker in New York City his clients included Google, Samsung, and Microsoft. Michael’s experience working with US companies will be particularly helpful as Reliq prepares to uplist to the NASDAQ in 2022. As previously disclosed, Reliq will also be hiring a Controller to support the anticipated growth going forward. The Company would like to thank outgoing CFO Mathew Lee in Vancouver for his significant contributions to Reliq over the last year and a half.”
