Reliq Health Technologies, Inc. Announces New Contract with Network of 40 Skilled Nursing Facilities across Florida

HAMILTON, Ontario, Oct. 26, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Reliq Health Technologies Inc. (TSXV:RHT or OTC:RQHTF or WKN:A2AJTB) (“Reliq” or the “Company”), a rapidly growing global healthcare technology company that develops innovative Virtual Care solutions for the multi-billion dollar Healthcare market, today announced that it has signed a new contract with a network of 40 Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs) in Florida. The Company expects to begin onboarding with these clients next month and have all 40 SNFs live by the end of March, 2023. This contract is expected to add 4,000 patients per month to Reliq’s iUGO Care platform as of April, 2023 and the Company expects to have over 50,000 new SNF patients onboarded by the end of 2023.

“Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs) play a critical role in the healthcare system, helping patients transition from acute care back into the community in a lower-cost setting than the hospital,” said Dr. Lisa Crossley, CEO at Reliq Health Technologies, Inc. “As the population ages and grows the number of Medicare patients with chronic conditions is steadily increasing, placing pressure on SNFs to reduce the length of stay for individual patients in their facilities. As a result, demand from the SNF market for post-discharge care has grown dramatically. SNFs face significant financial penalties if patients are readmitted to their facilities or to hospital post-discharge. Reliq’s iUGO Care Transitional Care Management (TCM), Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM), Chronic Care Management (CCM) and Behavioural Health Integration (BHI) solutions can help improve post-discharge health outcomes and reduce readmissions, while also generating new revenue streams for Skilled Nursing Facilities. Reliq will provide TCM to newly discharged patients at a rate of $60 per patient, with recurring revenue from RPM, CCM and BHI of $65/patient per month, at 75% gross margin. We will begin onboarding patients at the first few facilities next month and expect to go live with all 40 SNFs by the end of March, 2023. Once all 40 facilities are live we expect to onboard over 4,000 newly discharged patients every month going forward.”
