2. Discussion of Impact of Global Pandemic on Healthcare Market
The COVID-19 pandemic is an unprecedented event for Reliq and the rest of the world. Many of the Company’s clients and potential client are urgently moving to a virtual care model to reduce the risk of virus transmission associated with in-office and in-home visits. Reliq’s clients provide care to patients who are at the highest risk for poor outcomes from COVID-19 infection – elderly individuals with multiple underlying chronic conditions – and the Company has responded to its customers’ urgent need to protect and care for this vulnerable population remotely. Reliq is very fortunate to be able to continue to grow its business in these unusual times. Reliq is able to provide solutions that ensure continued access to healthcare and protect vulnerable populations during the global pandemic. As it becomes increasingly clear that the world is going to have to learn to live with the novel coronavirus for longer than anyone had hoped, demand for Reliq’s iUGO Care Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM), Chronic Care Management (CCM), Principal Care Management (PCM), Behavioral Health Integration (BHI) and Telemedicine solutions has increased significantly and the Company’s pipeline continues to expand every day. Analysts consistently agree that Virtual Care models for healthcare delivery will become even more vital as healthcare providers prepare for a potential second wave of coronavirus infections in the fall and winter, and that the pandemic has dramatically advanced acceptance of and demand for Virtual Care solutions. Reliq will be dedicating additional resources to onboarding patients to the iUGO Care platform in the coming months to help the Company’s clients achieve their goals of keeping patients healthy and at home and reducing their potential exposure to the virus.
3. Overview of Reliq’s Current Pipeline
Between clients currently under contract and the accounts expected to close within the next two quarters, the Company has a near-term pipeline of over 1,300 providers and more than 550,000 patients.
4. Review of Care Management Center (formerly “Call Center”) Support Services
As previously disclosed, the Company opened a US Sales Office and Care Management Center (formerly referred to as the “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 Care Management Center are a key differentiator for the Company. Reliq’s Care Management Center provides patient care management services for Physician Practices and their Medicare patients. The Care Management Center acts as an extension of the physician’s office, with qualified Medical Assistants providing services for which Reliq receives payment. Care Management Center staff update patients’ electronic records, communicate with doctors’ offices and make calls to patients to provide education and ensure compliance with prescribed therapies and monitoring programs. The Center typically makes outbound calls only and is not a general help line nor a technical support line.
5. Date for Next Quarterly Update Webinar
The Company’s annual audited financial statements for FY2020 are due to be filed on or before October 28, 2020. The quarterly financials are not reviewed by the Company’s auditors, but the annual financials will be audited by the Company’s auditors, KPMG. The webinar to review the annual audited financial statements will be scheduled on or before October 29, 2020.
