The Provider Portal is intended to provide a convenient platform for Provider Users to proactively track and analyze their patients’ health conditions through pertinent health data to track time spent providing remote therapeutic monitoring services to patients, and to communicate with patients about their health. The Services are not intended for use by healthcare providers or patients for continuous patient monitoring in such a way that would allow immediate clinical action in an emergency situation.
You may access and use the Services only in accordance with these Terms, and You agree to comply with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, including any other policies incorporated into these Terms, such as Our Provider Portal Privacy Policy . Kaizenovate is acting solely as a technology platform that enables You to provide healthcare services and connect with Your patients. We do not supervise or direct You in Your provision of such healthcare services to Your patients. We do not make any representations or warranties that the clinical services You are providing are suitable, reliable, timely or accurate for the patient, all of which are Your responsibility.
We DO NOT provide clinical services.
We DO NOT provide insurance billing services or guarantees.
We provide a convenient platform for You to track information that may allow You to provide certain services that may or may not be reimbursable by federal or state health insurance payors and to generate billing reports. We are not billing experts and any information provided to You with respect to billing is for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon or construed to guarantee reimbursement of any services.
You must register to create an account (“User Account”) and become a registered user to access the Services. The registration process begins when Kaizenovate or Your designated Administrator enters Your demographic information (e.g., name, email address, contact information, role, and licensure information) in the Provider Portal (collectively, Your “Registration Data”). From there, You will receive an email inviting You to register to use the Services. To register, You must create a password. You may change or correct information by accessing Your User Account dashboard or by contacting [email protected]. You agree not to register for a User Account on behalf of an individual other than Yourself unless You are legally authorized to bind such person to these Terms. By registering another person, You hereby represent that You are legally authorized to do so.
By registering for an account and using the Services, You represent and warrant as follows:

With the exception of the Arbitration Agreement (see the “Dispute Resolution” section) included near the end of these Terms, Kaizenovate reserves the right to change or modify these Terms at any time without prior notice to You. If We materially change or modify these Terms, We will let You know by (1) posting a new version of the Terms to the Provider Portal; and/or (2) sending You a notification to the email address provided to Use by Your Administrator in the Registration Data.

Kaizenovate reserves the right to suspend or terminate Your use of the Services without notice to You if You engage in any of the prohibited uses described above.

Any reference in the Services to any product, service, publication, institution, organization of any third-party entity, or individual does not constitute or imply Our endorsement or recommendation.

To the extent applicable, You will receive a notification and have the opportunity to accept such terms and conditions. IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND OR DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THOSE ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS, DO NOT USE THE RELATED THIRD-PARTY SERVICES.
In the event of any inconsistency between terms of use relating to Third-Party Services and these Terms, those additional terms and conditions will control with respect to such Third-Party Services. Third-Party Service Providers may collect and use certain information about You, as specified in the Third-Party Service Provider’s privacy policies. Prior to providing information to any Third-Party Service Provider, You should review their privacy policy. IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND OR DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF A THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDER’S PRIVACY POLICY OR TERMS OF USE, YOU SHOULD NOT USE THE RELATED THIRD-PARTY SERVICES. WE WILL NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ANY OF YOUR INFORMATION COLLECTED OR USED BY THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS.
In addition to other representations and warranties contained throughout the Terms, You represent and warrant that Your use of the Services will be in accordance with these Terms and all applicable laws, regulations, rules, and Kaizenovate policies and procedures (to the extent such policies and procedures are communicated to You). Specifically, YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU ARE LEGALLY AUTHORIZED TO SHARE PERSONAL DATA ( BELONGING TO YOURSELF OR OTHERS ON WHOSE BEHALF YOU ARE SUBMITTING SUCH PERSONAL DATA) WITH US.
NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED FROM KAIZENOVATE OR THROUGH THE PROVIDER PORTAL OR MATERIALS, WILL CREATE ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY MADE IN THESE TERMS.
YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL OF YOUR COMMUNICATIONS AND INTERACTIONS WITH THE SERVICES AND WITH OTHER PERSONS WITH WHOM YOU COMMUNICATE OR INTERACT AS A RESULT OF YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, PATIENTS AND OTHER AUTHORIZED THIRD PARTIES.
KAIZENOVATE CANNOT ALWAYS FORESEE OR ANTICIPATE TECHNICAL OR OTHER DIFFICULTIES THAT MAY RESULT IN FAILURE TO OBTAIN DATA OR LOSS OF DATA, PERSONALIZATION SETTINGS, OR OTHER SERVICE INTERRUPTIONS.

KAIZENOVATE IS NOT LIABLE TO ANY USER OR PERSON FOR ANY HARM CAUSED BY YOUR NEGLIGENCE OR MISCONDUCT, WHETHER OR NOT RELYING UPON INFORMATION COLLECTED, GENERATED, OR STORED VIA THE SERVICES.

IF YOU ARE A CALIFORNIA RESIDENT, YOU WAIVE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542, WHICH STATES: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.”
The Services include functionality that enables You, as a Provider User, to offer a patient rewards program (the “Rewards Program”) through which Your patients may earn points, coins, credits, or other incentives (“Rewards”) based on their engagement with the Services, such as completing health-related activities or achieving program milestones. These rewards are not money and have no cash value; they are a tracking tool to determine eligibility. You acknowledge and agree that You, as the Provider User, are solely responsible for establishing, administering, funding, and fulfilling any Rewards Program You offer to Your patients through the Services. Kaizenovate serves solely as the technology platform through which the Rewards Program functionality is made available and bears no responsibility or liability for the design, availability, structure, value, fulfillment, or discontinuation of any Rewards You choose to offer. The decision to offer a Rewards Program, and all terms associated with such a program, are entirely within Your control and discretion, subject to these Terms and all applicable laws.
You may structure Rewards to be redeemable solely for the following purposes: (i) discounts on services that are not covered, reimbursable, or otherwise billable to any health insurance plan or government healthcare program; and (ii) merchandise or products that You make available to patients through the Rewards Program. You are solely responsible for sourcing, procuring, and delivering any Rewards You offer, including any merchandise, products, or non-insurance service discounts. Kaizenovate has no obligation to procure, fulfill, or deliver any Rewards on Your behalf, and makes no representations regarding the availability or suitability of any specific reward type.
As the issuer of Rewards, You bear sole and primary responsibility for ensuring that any Rewards Program You offer through the Services complies with all applicable federal and state laws and regulations, including, without limitation, the federal Anti-Kickback Statute (42 U.S.C. § 1320a-7b(b)), applicable safe harbors thereunder, and any applicable state laws governing patient incentives and healthcare advertising. Kaizenovate makes no representation or warranty regarding the legal compliance of any Rewards Program You design or administer, and assumes no liability arising from Your Rewards Program or Your patients’ use thereof. You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Kaizenovate and its representatives from any liability, loss, claim, suit, damage, or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to any Rewards Program You offer through the Services, including any regulatory enforcement action, patient dispute, or third-party claim related thereto. Kaizenovate reserves the right to suspend or terminate access to Rewards Program functionality through the Services at any time, without notice, if Kaizenovate determines in its sole discretion that such action is necessary to maintain legal compliance or protect the integrity of the Services.
We welcome and encourage You to provide feedback, comments, and suggestions for improvements to the Services (“Feedback”). You may submit Feedback by e-mailing Us at [email protected]. You acknowledge and agree that if You submit any Feedback to Us, You grant to Us a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, fully-paid, royalty-free, sub-licensable, and transferable license under any and all intellectual property rights that You own or control to use, copy, modify, create derivative works based upon, and otherwise exploit the Feedback for any purpose.
If You breach any of these Terms, We may suspend or disable Your User Account or terminate Your access to the Services without prior notice to You. There may be other instances where We may need to terminate Your access to the Services that are not related to any of Your actions or inactions. We reserve the right to terminate Your access to and use of the Services and materials at any time, with or without cause.
If You wish to terminate Your User Account, please contact Kaizenovate at [email protected], immediately discontinue Your use of the Services, and delete all files associated with the Services from Your computer.
You agree that any dispute between You and Kaizenovate arising out of or relating to these Terms will be governed by the dispute resolution procedure outlined below. We want to address Your concerns without needing a formal legal case, so We have included a tiered dispute resolution process. This Dispute Resolution section may be modified by written agreement between You and Kaizenovate.
Before filing a claim against Kaizenovate, You agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting [email protected]. Most user concerns can be resolved quickly and to Your satisfaction through email.
In the unlikely event that Our support team is unable to resolve a complaint You may have (or if We have not been able to resolve a dispute with You after attempting to do so informally), including, but not limited to, any alleged breach of these Terms, You agree to resolve the dispute through binding arbitration. Arbitration, which is often less expensive, faster, and less formal than a lawsuit in court, uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award, and may, but do not have to, award legal fees, arbitrator’s fees and costs, and other costs incurred by the party that does not win the dispute. You agree that any dispute will be exclusively, fully, and finally resolved using binding arbitration through the American Health Lawyers Association (“AHLA”).
You and Kaizenovate agree to employ three (3) arbitrators (the “ Panel”), where one arbitrator (1) is selected by You, one (1) arbitrator is selected by Kaizenovate, and the third (3rd) arbitrator is selected by mutual consent of You and Kaizenovate. If You and Kaizenovate cannot agree upon the third arbitrator, the first two (2) arbitrators chosen shall select the third arbitrator. The selection decision shall be binding.
The arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online, and/or be solely based on written submissions—the specific manner to be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration. The arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties. Any judgment on the award rendered by the Panel may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Any claim or dispute arising under these Terms must be initiated by arbitration within two (2) years from its accrual date. Any claim or dispute initiated two (2) years or longer from its accrual date shall be time-barred and dismissed.
You and Kaizenovate shall each pay 50% of all mediator and/or arbitrator costs, expenses, and fees incurred in connection with mediating and/or arbitrating under these Terms.
Kaizenovate may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Services or infringement of intellectual property rights (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or patent rights) without first engaging in the informal dispute-resolution process described above.
Notwithstanding the above, You can decline or “opt out” of the alternative dispute resolution process described above by contacting [email protected] within 30 days of first accepting these Terms and stating that You (first and last name) decline this dispute resolution process.
YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY NOT OPTING OUT OF THE ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS DESCRIBED, YOU WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL TO WHICH YOU MAY OTHERWISE BE ENTITLED IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ACTION OR LITIGATION IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS.
If You opt out of the dispute resolution process described in this section, or if any matter is otherwise determined not to be subject to such dispute resolution process, You submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the State of Maryland within twenty-five (25) miles of [county], Maryland in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms. You agree that any and all claims and matters arising out of these Terms, unless subject to the dispute resolution process described above, may be heard and determined in any such court, and You hereby waive any right to object to such filing on grounds of improper venue, forum non-conveniens, or other venue-related grounds, unless such objection asserts that the claim or matter in dispute is subject to determination through the dispute resolution process described above.
These Terms, the Provider Portal Privacy Policy , and any other terms incorporated by reference, constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between Kaizenovate and You regarding the Services, and these Terms supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between Kaizenovate and You regarding the Services.
These Terms shall be governed by the laws of the State of Maryland without reference to its conflict of laws provisions.
You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without Kaizenovate’s prior written consent. Any attempt by You to assign or transfer these Terms, without such consent, will be null and of no effect. Kaizenovate may assign or transfer these Terms, at its sole discretion, without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors, and permitted assigns.
Any notices or other communications permitted or required under these Terms, including those regarding modifications to these Terms, will be in writing and given: (i) by Kaizenovate via email (in each case to the address that You provide); and/or (ii) by posting to the Provider Portal. For notices made by email, the notice will be effective as of the date the notice is first transmitted. You agree that any notice received from Kaizenovate electronically satisfies any legal requirement that such notice be in writing. YOU ALONE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING THAT YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS ON FILE WITH KAIZENOVATE IS ACCURATE AND CURRENT, AND NOTICE TO YOU SHALL BE DEEMED EFFECTIVE UPON THE SENDING OF AN EMAIL TO THE ADDRESS WE HAVE ON FILE.
You shall give any notice to Kaizenovate by email to: [email protected]. Notice to Kaizenovate shall be effective upon receipt of notice by Kaizenovate.
The failure of Kaizenovate to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Kaizenovate.
If any provision of these Terms is determined to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of these Terms remain in full force, provided that the essential terms and conditions remain valid, binding, and enforceable and the economic and legal substance of the transactions contemplated by these Terms are materially preserved.
“Intellectual Property Rights” means all intellectual property rights or similar proprietary rights, including (i) patent rights and utility models, (ii) copyrights and database rights, (iii) trademarks, trade names, domain names and trade dress and the goodwill associated therewith, (iv) trade secrets, (v) mask works, and (vi) industrial design rights; in each case, including any registrations of, applications to register, and renewals and extensions of, any of the foregoing in any jurisdiction in the world.
As between You and Us, all right, title, and interest, including all Intellectual Property Rights, in the Services, any related materials, logos, products, and documentation, and any other property or materials furnished or made available hereunder, and all modifications and enhancements thereof, belong to and are retained solely by Kaizenovate or its licensors, vendors, and affiliates, as applicable. All rights not expressly granted are reserved by Us. Any use of the Services not expressly permitted by these Terms is a breach of these Terms and may violate copyright, trademark and other laws.
Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise. If, for any reason, a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.
Please feel free to contact Us if You have any questions about these Terms and/or any other documents referenced in these Terms. You may contact Us at [email protected], or at our mailing address:
