EXHIBIT B

 

Earned Royalties

 

The Earned Royalty amount due The Regents per Clinician Account and Practice Account shall initially be $20.00 per month. Subsequently, The PREPARE team at UCSF shall have the ability to change the Earned Royalty amount at any time. Each Clinician Account and Practice Account shall be limited to 300 prescriptions of PREPARE per month.

 

"Clinician Account” is defined by the technical permission to aggregate information (multi media) and prescribe to patient accounts. A clinician can be any person who is patient facing as part of their profession. These can include, but not limited to physicians, nurses, social workers, physical/occupational/speech therapists, psychologists, dentists, patient advocates, case managers, peer support group leaders etc. A Clinician Account is not limited in the number of patients it can invite into Docola, however, a "flagging" system is utilized that triggers at 500 new patients per individual month. If a Clinician Account is flagged, Docola will contact the account to ensure that the account is being used appropriately.

 

“Practice Account” is exactly the same as Clinician Account with one exception: multiple clinicians can manage the content and patients of the Practice Account. A practice account is meant to be used by a single clinic, practice, or service line within a larger organization. It is not to be used for a large healthcare organization. Practice account enables gold standard utilization practice for maintaining privacy and security of account information. The first 5 clinicians on a practice account can be added at no cost. Any additional clinician carries a charge of $9 USD/month. Docola reserves the right to change pricing at any time.

 

For larger scale health care related organizations that require ongoing management by Docola, (resulting in Enterprise Accounts) if there is a need for PREPARE materials, Docola will contact the PREPARE team with prospective account information for specific pricing guidance.
