SLA Addendum

The following shall apply to all Prior Authorization services provided by Infinx, if applicable, but only the Uptime SLA (and not the Accuracy SLA or the TAT SLA) shall apply to the provision of CDSM services. Services will only be accessible to users who use computers that use a supported browser, install all required browser plug-ins, use one of the supported operating systems, have the minimum required memory in such system, and have at least the minimum required Internet bandwidth to access the Services.

  1. Service Level Guarantees: Infinx will work to achieve the following performance metrics (collectively, the “SLAs”):
    1. Uptime SLA: Infinx will work to ensure that the IPAS platform will be available to Customer at least 99% of the time from 8am-8pm Eastern Standard Time (“Business Hours“), as measured on a monthly basis for such periods, excluding Holidays and weekends and SLA Excluded Events (as defined below) (“IPAS Uptime SLA“).
    2. Accuracy SLA: Infinx will work to achieve a 98% accuracy rate for Billable Transactions in any particular calendar month (“Accuracy SLA”), as confirmed per audits. Infinx audits are conducted by its quality cell and track the agreed upon broad metrics. Customer shall have access to the results of such audits upon request, and Infinx shall consider Customer’s guidance and inputs for such process.
    3. Turn Around Time SLA: The “TAT SLA” shall collectively consist of the following Standard TAT SLA and (where applicable) the Same Day SLA and the STAT TAT SLA.

After receiving a request for a Billable Transaction from Customer in IPAS, Infinx will work to initiate a Billable Transaction within one (1) business day (i.e., other than during Holidays and weekends) excepting SLA Excluded Events (“Standard TAT SLA”); provided, however, that the Standard TAT SLA shall not apply: (a) with respect to any Billable Transactions where the Standard TAT SLA non-achievement is due to the non-achievement of the IPAS Uptime SLA; (b) to the number of Billable Transactions in excess of the Included Volume of Billable Transactions Per Month; or, (c) to Billable Transactions in any particular business day which exceed five percent (5%) of the Included Volume of Billable Transactions Per Month (although Infinx will use reasonable efforts to initiate such Billable Transactions within three (3) business days after request).
      2. Same Day TAT SLA. Where applicable, After receiving a request for a Billable Transaction from Customer in IPAS, Infinx will work to initiate a Billable Transaction designated as “Same Day” priority within four (4) business hours (i.e., other than during Holidays, weekends and after regular business hours) excepting SLA Excluded Events (“Same Day TAT SLA”) and Infinx will work to initiate a Billable Transaction designated as “STAT” priority within thirty (30) business minutes excepting SLA Excluded Events (“STAT TAT SLA”); provided, however, that the TAT SLA shall not apply: (a) with respect to any Billable Transactions where the TAT SLA non-achievement is due to the non-achievement of the IPAS Uptime SLA; (b) to the number of Billable Transactions in excess of the Included Volume of Billable Transactions Per Month; or, (c) to all Billable Transactions designated as “Same Day” priority or “STAT” priority in any particular business day which exceed one percent (1%) of the Included Volume of Billable Transactions Per Month.
  2. Credits for SLA Failures:
    1. Uptime SLA: Customer’s sole remedies and Infinx’s sole liability for any failures to achieve the IPAS Uptime SLA shall be as follows: in the event that a consecutive period of downtime of 30 minutes or more occurs in a particular calendar month during Business Hours, Infinx will provide a one-time credit to Customer of five percent (5%) of the Monthly Minimum Fees incurred for such month for Billable Transactions.  Downtime shall be calculated beginning as soon as Customer notifies Infinx that downtime is taking place and continue until the availability of the IPAS platform is restored as reasonably determined by Infinx.  In order to receive credit for an IPAS Uptime SLA failure, Customer must request credit within five (5) days after the end of the downtime, and any failure to timely provide such request will result in a forfeiture of the right to credits.  Credits may only be applied to fees coming due from Customer and may not be redeemed for cash or other refunds and shall in no event exceed a total of five percent (5%) of the Monthly Minimum Fees in any one (1) calendar month. Infinx’s intentional blocking of IPAS platform availability, data communications or other SaaS services in accordance with its policies shall not be deemed to be a failure of Infinx to provide adequate service levels hereunder.
    2. Accuracy SLA and TAT SLA:  Customer’s sole remedies and Infinx’s sole liability for any failures to achieve the Accuracy SLA and TAT SLA, as measured by reported and confirmed errors, mutual review, discussion and agreement, shall be as follows: (i) Infinx shall not charge Customer for any fees for the processing of a Billable Transaction which does not meet the Accuracy SLA; (ii) if more than five percent (5%) or more of the Billable Transactions in any particular calendar month do not meet the Accuracy SLA, Customer shall receive a one-time credit in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the Monthly Minimum Fee under this SOW; and, (iii) if more than five percent (5%) or more of the Billable Transactions in any particular calendar month do not meet the TAT SLA, Customer shall receive a one-time credit in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the Monthly Minimum Fee under this SOW.
