Partner Terms of Service
The following terms of service agreement (these “Terms” or “Agreement”) set out the terms and conditions which apply to the provision of certain services provided by Claimable, a company incorporated in the State of Delaware ("Claimable", “we”, “us” or “our”).
Claimable provides a software-based service (“Platform”) that enables healthcare providers, patient advocates, and other authorized entities (collectively, “Partners”, “you”, or “your”) to create, manage, and collaborate on healthcare appeals on behalf of or in coordination with their patients or clients (“Patients” or “End Users”). The Platform facilitates the generation, submission and tracking of appeals, integrates supporting documentation, and enables communication between Partners and End Users to streamline the appeals process. Claimable acts as a technology provider and does not offer legal, medical, or insurance advisory services.
If you are eligible to be a Claimable Partner and wish to obtain a license to access and use our Platform and related services—whether through our website, in-person, via video, audio, text messaging, or through a third-party platform (collectively, our “Service”)—you agree to be bound by these terms. This includes access to all content and functionality offered as part of our Service, whether as a guest or as a registered user of an affiliated, managed, or member account (“Member Entity”).
1. Acceptance of the Partner Terms of Service
- You agree to accept these legally binding Terms by a) opening an account as a Member Entity, or b) registering as a user of a Member Entity account, or c) using our Partner Platform, or d) purchasing Appeal Credits via our Order Form. BEFORE YOU DO ANY OF THOSE, PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY. If you do not want to agree to these Terms, you must not use our Service or set up an account.
- You also agree to abide by other Claimable rules and policies, including our:
- Business Associates Agreement (BAA), which establishes the responsibilities and safeguards a business associate must follow when handling protected health information (PHI) on behalf of a covered entity, ensuring HIPAA compliance. (See https://www.getclaimable.com/business-associates-agreement.)
- Privacy Policy, which explains what information we collect from you and how we protect it) that are expressly incorporated into and are a part of these Terms. Please read them carefully. (See https://www.getclaimable.com/privacy-policy.)
- Once these Terms begin to apply to you, you are bound by them until they no longer apply. (See Section 9 (Termination and Cancellation).)
2. Service
- Appeal Sponsorship. Pursuant to the payment of applicable Fees (see Section 4), you may purchase Appeal Credits in bundles (e.g., 10-pack, 30-pack, or 100-pack of appeals) via our Order Form. Each Appeal Credit represents one appeal submission.
- Creating Appeals. The Claimable platform enables partners and patients to generate appeal letters based on case details, supporting documents, and relevant clinical evidence. The appeal creation process includes: a) uploading supporting documents, b) answering guided questions, and c) generating an appeal letter that is automatically structured for submission. Once as appeal is created, the user may review and edit before submission.
- Referring Patients. Partners may refer patients to Claimable by submitting their information via the platform. By submitting a referral, the Partner warrants that they have obtained necessary patient consent to share information with Claimable. Claimable is granted a non-exclusive, sublicensable, non-transferable, and revocable license to use patient information solely for appeal processing, in accordance with the Business Associate Agreement (BAA) and applicable laws. A referred patient is notified and prompted to log in, review their case, and submit an appeal.
- Managing Appeals. Partners can track the status of appeals in real time through the Platform. The system provides visibility into each appeal's progress, including submission status (such as draft, pending, submitted, or completed), insurer updates (such as requests for additional documentation), and final outcomes (approved, denied, or under review). Automated notifications keep partners informed of key appeal events, ensuring they can take timely action when necessary.
- Collaborating on Appeals. Claimable enables partners to collaborate with patients throughout the appeals process. Partners may review patient-submitted appeals, suggest edits, and upload additional supporting documentation to strengthen the case. The platform also provides a secure messaging system (if applicable) for direct communication between partners and patients. Additionally, partners can delegate tasks to team members, facilitating a streamlined workflow for managing multiple appeals efficiently.
- No Guarantee of Continuous Service Availability. Claimable strives to maintain uptime for the platform but does not guarantee uninterrupted access. Claimable shall not be liable for service interruptions, delays, or outages due to maintenance, system failures, or other circumstances beyond its control.
3. Company Obligations. We shall:
- Upon your referral of a patient to us, ensure we alert patients in a timely manner and begin to onboard them to our platform for provision of appeal services; and
- Provide a secure and HIPAA-compliant platform for managing patient appeals, ensuring appropriate safeguards are in place to protect Protected Health Information (PHI).
- Maintain the functionality and availability of the Claimable platform, ensuring reasonable uptime and access, except during scheduled maintenance or circumstances beyond our control.
- Facilitate appeal submission and tracking, ensuring that referred patients have the tools and resources necessary to complete their appeals, including guided steps and document uploads.
- Notify Partners of important updates or changes to the platform that may impact their ability to refer patients, purchase Appeal Credits, or collaborate on appeals.
- Retain appeal-related records for a reasonable period in accordance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements, unless otherwise requested by the Partner or required by law.
- Provide customer support to assist Partners with technical issues, platform navigation, and inquiries related to the appeal submission process.
4. Partner Obligations. Partner shall:
- Partners must obtain explicit consent from each patient before referring them to Claimable and sharing personal information, ensuring compliance with applicable privacy laws, including HIPAA and any state-specific regulations.
- Partners agree to cooperate reasonably with Claimable by providing accurate, complete, and timely information necessary for the submission and processing of patient appeals, including letters of medical necessity and supporting documents.
- Partners must use Appeal Credits appropriately, ensuring that sponsored appeals are for patients who meet Claimable’s eligibility criteria and who have authorized appeal initiation.
- Partners are responsible for ensuring the accuracy of patient information they provide to Claimable and must notify Claimable promptly of any errors, updates, or corrections.
- Partners shall not use Claimable’s platform or services for any unlawful, fraudulent, or deceptive purposes, including but not limited to misrepresenting patient information or submitting appeals without patient knowledge or consent.
- Partners must maintain compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, and industry standards when using Claimable’s services.
- Partners shall not engage in any activities that disrupt, abuse, or interfere with Claimable’s platform, including attempting to bypass system limitations, reverse-engineering the software, or engaging in unauthorized data scraping
- Partners must ensure that any team members or employees using Claimable’s platform do so in accordance with these terms and maintain confidentiality of any protected or sensitive information accessed through the platform.
- Partners acknowledge that Claimable may suspend or terminate access to the platform if a Partner fails to comply with these obligations or engages in conduct that compromises compliance, security, or the integrity of Claimable’s services.
5. Fees and Payment
- No Cost to Open an Account & Promotional Waivers. Fees for patient appeal submissions may be waived at Claimable’s discretion during promotional offers (e.g., a 30-day free trial) or when Claimable provides evaluative access to partners or end-users. Promotional offers are subject to change and may be revoked at any time.
- Referral Model – Patients Pay Upon Submission. Partners may refer patients for free using the Claimable platform. The referred patient is responsible for the payment of any applicable fees upon submitting an appeal.
- Sponsorship Model – Partners Purchase Appeal Credits. You may purchase Appeal Credits at the rates set out on our rate sheet as provided by us from time to time. All fee amounts (“Fees”) are due at the time of checkout upon submission of an Order Form. Payments must be completed through our designated payment processor before appeal credits are issued. Each credit represents one appeal submission.
- Purchasing Credits. We offer you the right and opportunity to purchase in advance the use of our insurance claim appeal service on behalf of your patients (“Appeal Credits”). Such Appeal Credits permit you to sponsor claim appeals for patients, making the appeals a cost-free proposition for the patient. You enable that process when you refer a patient to us to start an appeal – the purchased Appeal Credit is then provisionally transferred to the patient’s account. In the event the patient does not utilize the Appeal Credit and takes no action for 30 days, the transfer is voided, and we return the credit to your account. There is no expiry of Appeal Credits purchased from us.
- Credits purchased are non-refundable. Except as required by law, in instances where you have made a payment to us to purchase Appeal Credits, we do not provide refunds if an appeal is submitted or if your Appeal is not successful. Claimable makes no representations, warranties, or guarantees regarding the likelihood that a referred patient will use an Appeal Credit or that any appeal submitted through the platform will result in a favorable outcome.
- Payments for Appeal Credits are processed securely via Stripe or other third-party payment providers. Applicable sales, use, or excise taxes may be collected at checkout based on the billing address and tax laws in the applicable jurisdiction. Claimable is not responsible for any additional taxes, fees, or charges imposed by a federal, state, or local government beyond the amount collected at the time of purchase.
