Company successfully launches its concierge membership program and focuses on strategic partnership opportunities

NAPLES, Fla., Nov. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- InvestorsHubNewsWire -- HealthLynked Corp. (OTCQB: HLYK), a global healthcare network focused on care management of its members and a provider of healthcare technologies that connects doctors, patients, and medical data, reported its financial results for the third quarter and year-to-date period ended September 30, 2022 and provided an update on its strategic focus.

Concierge Medicine and Strategic Partnerships

HealthLynked has successfully launched a Concierge program for Functional Medicine. The Naples Center for Functional Medicine has implemented a Concierge medical membership program for its patients to provide better access, more time with physicians, and connectivity to HealthLynked's online patient concierge services. The program is currently being implemented with a final launch date of December 31, 2022, with strong initial adoption from patients.  The program is expecting to generate over $1 million in incremental annual revenue. HealthLynked is planning to implement a concierge program for its Naples Women's Center location in Q4 2022.  The Company is focused on strategic partnerships in its Digital HealthCare and Medical Distribution Segments. 

Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results

For the third quarter 2022, HealthLynked reported revenue of $1.45 million, compared to $4.00 million in the third quarter of 2021. The revenue loss resulted primarily from the Company's Accountable Care Organization (ACO) division's Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP), as administered by the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). The Company's ACO works with primary care physicians who focus on providing better outcomes to their Medicare patients while reducing the overall cost of patient care. In 2021, the ACO's physician partners achieved $2.42 million in shared savings. In 2022, the ACO's physician partners achieved over $3.2 million in total savings but missed the minimum shared savings requirement by less than 1%. The Company's ACO has submitted an appeal for Reconsideration and expects a decision before the end of 2022. 

The Company also estimated that facility closures related to Hurricane Ian in late September negatively impacted patient service revenue by $0.11 million in third quarter 2022. The company is submitting a claim for this service interruption with their insurance company.  

Net losses increased from ($0.37) million in third quarter 2021 to ($1.78) million in third quarter 2022, due primarily to the profit impact of realizing no MSSP revenue in 2022, lower patient service revenue due in part to the impact of closures related to Hurricane Ian, and primarily non-cash finance charges associated with the July 2022 Standby Equity Purchase Agreement. 

Year-to-Date 2022 Financial Results

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, HealthLynked reported revenue of $4.70 million, compared to $7.54 million in the same period of 2021, due primarily to the decline in MSSP revenue in 2022 as describe above, as well as a decline in year-over-year patient service revenue at Naples Women's Center offset by an increase at Naples Center for Functional Medicine.  Net losses were down 48% from ($8.70) million 2021 to ($4.54) million in 2022 in large part due to debt extinguishment charges of $4.96 million in 2021.

Dr. Michael Dent, HealthLynked's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We have seen strong adoption of patient members to our online concierge services that include appointment scheduling, medical record mobility, and nurse supported medical profile creation. We have seen a high demand for our patient concierge service and this quarter we plan to launch a paid version that we believe will have a high adoption among our current and future users."

George O'Leary, HealthLynked's Chief Financial Officer, added, "Factoring out the ACO payment and Hurricane Ian, our revenues for the quarter were down 6%, mainly due to travel out of the state during the quarter that didn't occur in the last two years due to COVID. With our new focus on concierge medicine and its related revenue, our growth expectations are much stronger for Q4 and beyond."
