VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 28, 2020  — CloudMD Software & Services Inc. (TSXV: DOC, OTCQB: DOCRF, Frankfurt: 6PH) (the “Company” or “CloudMD”), a telehealth company seeking to revolutionize the delivery of healthcare to patients, is pleased to announce that it has signed a binding term sheet (“Term Sheet”) to acquire 100% of HumanaCare Inc. (“HumanaCare”), an integrated, Employee Assistance Services (“EAP”) solution which provides compassionate, holistic, physical and mental health support for employees and their family members.

HumanaCare is an industry leading EAP, funded by employers to provide access to mental and physical wellness support services. HumanaCare provides employee health services to over 5000 corporate clients, 1 million employees and their family members utilizing a clinical network of more than 3500 clinicians. Currently, HumanaCare has multi-year agreements to service fortune 500 clients, leading corporations and advisors. The solution uses nurse triage to support mental health and short-term incidental issues including counselling, financial stress, nutrition, legal and eldercare consultation. HumanaCare’s programs include, YourNurse, Chronic Disease Management, Eldercare, Medical Second Opinion and Disability Support Services.

HumanaCare has more than 35 years of Canadian healthcare experience and has solidified its place as one of the top EAP providers in Canada. The EAP segment has shown significant year over year growth and is only increasing in importance as the mental and physical strain of remote working and social distancing become more evident. With a focus on innovation, a holistic approach to care, and continuity of care centred around the patient, CloudMD believes HumanaCare will be a market leader.

Historically, EAP’s have focused exclusively on short-term incidental care. This is a transformational acquisition, as HumanaCare combined with CloudMD’s enterprise platform will not only provide short-term support, but now employees and family members will have access to a patient-focused approach to longer-term and chronic care management. CloudMD will be able to optimize and cross-sell into HumanaCare’s current client network by offering corporations and employers a more comprehensive solution which includes telemedicine, triaging, on-demand mental health support, and educational healthcare resources. As a solution to the currently siloed healthcare system, the combined offerings will provide one, centralized platform that breaks down the barriers to access by offering a team-based, longitudinal approach to employee wellbeing.

HumanaCare’s current annualized revenue run rate (1) is approximately $3.3 million with EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) margins that are greater than 19 per cent. Upon closing, the acquisition of HumanaCare will be immediately accretive to CloudMD with synergies the Company believes will drive further revenue and increased EBITDA margin through cost savings achieved through scaling of operations and by tapping into CloudMD’s network of counsellors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals.

Karen Adams, Chief Innovation Officer of CloudMD commented, “This acquisition is a key component of our private care, enterprise growth strategy and will position CloudMD as one of the only providers able to address the short-term and long-term mental and physical healthcare needs of employees. CloudMD will now be able to provide corporations and employers one, centralized platform incorporating telemedicine, mental health, physical health and education to manage their employees’ health and wellbeing, by increasing the level of care provided. The centralized platform will also significantly reduce costs associated with multiple vendors, as well as provide better patient care outcomes.”

The combination of HumanaCare’s model of delivering exceptional outcomes by supporting the mental and physical healthcare needs of the individual, combined with the technology forward platform of CloudMD and Snapclarity’s revolutionary digital mental health services, we will become the standard in the evolution of patient-centred care,” said Jamie Marcellus, President of HumanaCare. “Employers are looking to provide a solution that addresses the physical and mental health needs of their employees across the continuum of care – from wellness through to crisis and resolution. The unique combination of CloudMD’s enterprise solutions addresses many of the gaps in the health care continuum allowing employers to offer a complete solution for their employees’ evolving healthcare needs.”
