If you do not agree to all of these Terms, do not access or use the Service. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Sigla LLC. They apply to all users, including facility administrators, admissions staff, clinical personnel, and any individual who accesses the Service in any capacity.
Authorized Signer: The person accepting these Terms on behalf of an organization represents and warrants that they have the legal authority to bind that organization to these Terms. By accepting, you confirm that you are an authorized representative (e.g., administrator, owner, officer, or other authorized signatory) and agree to provide your full legal name and title upon request.

02 Description of Service
IntakeFlow is a web-based intake and admissions platform designed for home health agencies. The Service provides:
- Referral intake channels. inbound referral documents may be received via direct upload, inbound email, or a HIPAA-compliant fax number provisioned to your facility by IntakeFlow. All inbound documents are cataloged, encrypted in transit and at rest, and routed to the prescreener queue
- AI-assisted referral prescreening. automated extraction of patient demographics, diagnosis, payer, and clinical context from uploaded referral documents, evaluated against your organization’s rules (payer list, service-line eligibility, PDGM factors for home health) to produce a verdict with cited evidence
- Payer list management. maintenance of in-network, out-of-network, and non-accepted payer records used by the prescreener
- Eligibility and authorization tracking. capture and surfacing of coverage status, plan type, authorization numbers, and units approved/used, with warnings for expiring authorizations and high unit utilization
- Referral pipeline management. tracking referral inquiries, contact follow-ups, and acceptance/decline decisions
- Medication review. extraction of medication lists from referral documents and flagging of high-risk medications that may require skilled nursing oversight
- Sex offender screening. registry searches against referral demographic data, with results documented in the audit log
- HIPAA-compliant audit logging. tracking of all user actions involving Protected Health Information
IntakeFlow is not an Electronic Health Record (EHR), Electronic Medical Record (EMR), clinical documentation system, care planning tool, billing platform, or Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) system. The Service is limited to referral intake, prescreening, eligibility tracking, referral pipeline management, medication review, and offender screening as described above.
42 CFR Part 484 Disclaimer: IntakeFlow does not satisfy 42 CFR Part 484 requirements for clinical documentation, OASIS assessments, plan of care development, or other CMS Conditions of Participation for home health agencies. You remain solely responsible for ensuring compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations governing home health services in your jurisdiction.
AI-Assisted Prescreening Disclaimer: The prescreener uses AI models to extract structured data from unstructured referral documents and evaluate it against rules you configure. Prescreener verdicts, extracted fields, and rule matches are advisory; you are solely responsible for verifying accuracy, reviewing cited evidence, and making final acceptance, eligibility, and clinical decisions. IntakeFlow does not provide clinical judgment, medical advice, or diagnostic conclusions.
Eligibility & EDI Clearinghouse Subprocessor Disclosure and Risk Allocation: Real-time eligibility verification is delivered by transmitting an X12 270 inquiry through a HIPAA-covered Eligibility & EDI clearinghouse subprocessor to the patient’s payer (commercial, Medicare Advantage, or Medicaid Managed Care Organization), or to the CMS Eligibility Transaction System (HETS) for Medicare fee-for-service and Medicare Beneficiary Identifier lookup. The disclosure is made for Payment activities as permitted by 45 CFR 164.502(a)(1)(ii) without additional patient authorization, and the PHI transmitted is limited, consistent with 45 CFR 164.502(b), to subscriber name, date of birth, member identifier (or Social Security Number where required for MBI lookup), and rendering provider National Provider Identifier. The categorical identity of this subprocessor is set forth in Schedule A of the executed Business Associate Agreement; the current named subprocessor is disclosed to Customer on request. By using the eligibility verification features of the Service, you acknowledge that real-time eligibility necessarily involves routing PHI through a third-party clearinghouse and you accept that subprocessor-routing risk in exchange for the functionality. The clearinghouse operates under a written subcontractor Business Associate Agreement that satisfies 45 CFR 164.504(e), and any breach by the clearinghouse cascades to your facility through the notification chain at 45 CFR 164.410 and 45 CFR 164.404. Your intake team retains sole responsibility for reviewing the 271 response, interpreting coverage, and making the final benefits-and-admission determination.
03 Not Medical Advice
IntakeFlow is administrative software designed for referral intake, prescreening, eligibility tracking, pipeline management, medication review, and offender screening. IntakeFlow is not intended to provide, and shall not be construed as providing, medical advice, clinical decision support, diagnosis, treatment recommendations, or any form of clinical guidance. AI-assisted prescreener outputs are advisory summaries of uploaded documents and configured rules; they are not clinical assessments. The Service does not replace the judgment of qualified healthcare professionals. You must not rely on IntakeFlow for any clinical, diagnostic, or treatment decisions.
