If Customer fails to make payment of the invoice within sixty (30) days of the due date, AllyHealth shall have the right to suspend or terminate all Services, upon two (2) days prior written notice to Customer.

  4. UTILIZATION THRESHOLD. Telemedicine Utilization is included without fee up to 100% annualized utilization for Voluntary Group plans, 80% annualized utilization for micro group plans (50 employees or fewer), 60% annualized utilization for small group plans (51 to 100 employees), 50% annualized utilization for medium group plans (101 to 500 employees) and up to 30% annualized utilization for large group plans with 501 employees or more (the “Utilization Thresholds”). Annualized utilization is calculated as the number of consultations in a given month divided by the number of primary members in that same month, multiplied by 12. Mental Health Utilization Thresholds are one half of the above listed Telemedicine Utilization Thresholds. Utilization will be reviewed, calculated and reported on a quarterly basis. If the utilization exceeds the threshold during any of the quarterly reviews, AllyHealth will communicate this overage to the partner and/or client. Pricing adjustments would happen at renewal, (unless otherwise set forth, on the one year anniversary of the Effective Date). Pricing increases will be based on a formula of $0.05 per 1% over the Telemedicine Utilization Threshold and $0.10 per 1% over the Mental Health Utilization Threshold for mental health counseling. AllyHealth reserves the right to adjust pricing prior to the renewal if utilization is more than 1.5X the Utilization Threshold.
