APPTLY'S UBERDOC ACCELERATES GROWTH THROUGH EMPHERA HEALTH PARTNERSHIP, ADDING APPROXIMATELY 2,000 SPECIALISTS TO THE UBERDOC NETWORK

Apptly Health Technologies Corp. has entered into a strategic collaboration agreement with Emphera Health Holdings Inc. doing business as Emphera Health, a network that connects self-financed employers to outpatient surgical care, for an initial three-year term, effective July 1, 2026. Pursuant to the agreement, the company is entitled to certain profit-sharing mechanisms. Under the agreement, Uberdoc will provide the physician consultation and appointment technology that connects patients to surgical care while Emphera Health manages the outpatient clinical and surgical services.

The partnership puts Uberdoc at the front of the surgical pathway. A patient connects to a specialist through Uberdoc for a consultation and scheduling, and proceeds to outpatient clinical and/or surgery through Emphera Health's network. The arrangement pairs transparent, direct-pay physician access with defined outpatient services for employer populations -- eliminating prior authorizations, claim submissions, and complex billing arrangements for both patients and employers.

The partnership is expected to add approximately 2,000 specialists to the Uberdoc network, expanding the company's physician base from 5,000 to more than 7,000 specialists. Uberdoc's consultation and booking technology will be made available to employees covered under employer programs supported by Emphera Health.

The collaboration positions both Emphera Health and Uberdoc to expand access to the growing self-insured employer market, where organizations are increasingly seeking direct-pay health care solutions that improve quality while reducing costs. By combining Emphera Health's employer and benefits relationships with Uberdoc's nationwide network of specialists, the companies are creating a scalable pathway for employers to offer transparent, affordable care that aligns with value-based care initiatives and delivers measurable savings for employers and their members. Emphera Health has contracts that service a total addressable population of more than 40 million people.

"The surgical decision is where cost and access are truly determined, and it starts with the consult," said Dr. Paula M. Muto, founder and interim chief executive officer of the company and a practising vascular surgeon. "Uberdoc was built to be the tip of the spear for direct-pay specialty care. By connecting patients directly with trusted specialists through transparent pricing, we are redefining how care begins. Partnering with Emphera Health allows us to place a transparent physician consultation at the start of pathway for all outpatient services for large employer populations while bringing an outstanding group of specialists onto our growing network."

"Employers are increasingly looking for health care solutions that improve outcomes, lower costs and provide greater transparency throughout the care journey, particularly when surgery is being considered," said Israel Angeles, chief executive officer of Emphera Health. "Uberdoc's direct-pay consult model creates an ideal front door to outpatient services, giving employees timely access to the right specialist with transparent pricing before important treatment decisions are made. Together, we're helping employers deliver a smarter, more efficient pathway to specialty care."
