Payment Flexibility (Tier 1 Response to Budget Concerns)
Section titled “Payment Flexibility (Tier 1 Response to Budget Concerns)”If HPCSA says: “R5M-R12M is too much upfront”
Response A: Phased Payment Plan
Total: R6M (mid-range scenario)Spread over: 24 monthsMonthly: R250,000
Payment Schedule:- Month 1-8: R300k/month (implementation phase, 8 months)- Month 9-24: R225k/month (operations phase, 16 months)
Benefits:- No large capital expenditure- Aligned with fiscal cycles- Cashflow-friendly- Cancel after 12 months if not satisfied (with 90-day notice)- Budget-friendly for professional councilsResponse B: Outcomes-Based Pricing
Base Fee: R2.5M (system setup, infrastructure, 12-board configuration)Performance Fee: R40 per practitioner achieving CPD compliance
Example Calculation:- Current baseline compliance: [TBD based on HPCSA data]- Target compliance: 85% of 90,000 = 76,500 compliant practitioners- Improvement: [Dependent on baseline, assume 30,000 improvement]- Performance Fee: 30,000 × R40 = R1.2M
Total Year 1: R2.5M + R1.2M (performance) = R3.7M(HPCSA only pays for proven compliance improvement)
Why This Works:- Risk shifted to iSu Technologies- HPCSA pays for measurable outcomes, not promises- High confidence in our platform (education sector 83.6% success rate)- Patient safety benefits from verified practitioner competenceResponse C: Board-by-Board Phased Rollout
Phase 1 (Months 1-4): 3 Pilot Boards- Boards: Medical & Dental, Psychology, Occupational Therapy- ~25,000 practitioners (27% of total)- ~80 providers- Investment: R1.5M
Phase 2 (Months 5-8): 4 Mid-Size Boards- Boards: Physiotherapy, Radiography, Emergency Care, Environmental Health- ~35,000 practitioners- ~120 providers- Investment: R2M
Phase 3 (Months 9-12): Remaining 5 Boards- Boards: Optometry, Speech & Language, Nutrition, etc.- ~30,000 practitioners- ~300 providers- Investment: R2.5M
Total: R6M (same cost, phased risk)
Benefits:- Prove value in Phase 1 before expanding- Budget across 3 fiscal periods- Scale infrastructure incrementally- Early wins build momentum and internal champions- Board-specific learning applied to later phasesROI Justification (Full Deployment)
