The Amendment is effective as of April 28, 2017 and sets forth that (i) the Company will provide certain revenue cycle management services for physician groups associated with Ascension’s hospital systems in Wisconsin (the “Medical Group RCM Services”), (ii) the Company will provide acute care revenue cycle management services for Ascension’s Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare system (“Wheaton”), which system was not previously included within the group of acute care hospitals to be served by R1 under the MPSA and (iii) the planned commencement date for the Company’s provision of services to Ascension’s Ministry Healthcare system in Wisconsin (“Ministry”) was changed from July 1, 2018 to October 1, 2017.
The Amendment further provides that the Company will credit Ascension quarterly for 50% of cost savings realized by the Company in managing (i) the acute care revenue cycle operations of Wheaton and Ministry through June 30, 2019 and (ii) the Medical Group RCM Services through the duration of the Company’s provision of such services. Additionally, the Amendment provides that Ascension may terminate the Medical Group RCM Services for convenience at the second anniversary of the commencement of such services by notifying the Company of such its election to terminate within sixty days prior to such second anniversary. The Amendment will be filed with the Company's next Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
