In June 2019, the Company entered into a master services agreement with Carelon Research, a subsidiary of Elevance Health, Inc. (“Elevance Health”). This agreement covers a range of research projects, including Carelon Research’s role as a contract research organization for the Prematurity Risk Assessment Combined With Clinical Interventions for Improving Neonatal outcoMEs (“PRIME”) study. The Company paid fees related to this agreement of $0.8 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. In November 2020, the Company entered into a Laboratory Services Agreement with Elevance Health related to the PRIME study. This agreement provides a contracted rate for certain tests performed pursuant to the study. The Company recognized revenues related to this agreement of $21 thousand and $19 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
In February 2021, the Company entered into a commercial collaboration agreement with Elevance Health and its affiliates (the “Commercial Collaboration Agreement”). The Commercial Collaboration Agreement provides defined payment within a defined period for use of the PreTRM test within Elevance Health’s network of covered members. Pursuant to the Commercial Collaboration Agreement, Elevance Health agreed to purchase a certain minimum number of tests for each of the first three years of the term of the agreement. Additionally, Elevance Health agreed to pay a certain minimum amount per year for the first three years of the term of the Commercial Collaboration Agreement. The Company received $6.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023, which amount related to the minimum payments for the year ended December 31, 2022. Such minimum payments were initially recorded as deferred revenue. Deferred revenue is recognized as revenue when the Company delivers PreTRM test results to Elevance Health patients pursuant to the Commercial Collaboration Agreement. The Company also agreed to develop a sales, marketing, and customer service program, and to provide training and marketing to duly licensed physicians specializing in obstetrics and gynecology or family medicine, or licensed nurse midwives, at the reasonable request of Elevance Health.
Elevance Health has been participating in the Company’s PRIME study and at the conclusion of the PRIME study, under the Commercial Collaboration Agreement, the parties agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into Elevance Health’s standard lab provider agreement. Unless earlier terminated due to breach, the Commercial Collaboration Agreement will remain in effect until the later of (a) the third anniversary of the effective date or (b) the date on which Elevance Health has purchased a fixed number of PreTRM tests as agreed by the parties.
The Commercial Collaboration Agreement with Elevance Health is considered to be within the scope of ASC Topic 808, Collaborative Arrangements (“ASC 808”), as the parties are active participants and exposed to the risks and rewards of the collaborative activity. The Company determined the PreTRM tests to be a performance obligation for which Elevance Health is a customer and a unit of account within the scope of ASC 606. The associated transaction price is based on the contractual minimum number of tests and the agreed upon defined payment amount per test. The transaction price was allocated to this single performance obligation, which will be recognized upon delivery of test results expected to occur over the term of the agreement. All other items promised to Elevance Health are immaterial in the context of the Commercial Collaboration Agreement. There were no material revenues related to the Commercial Collaboration Agreement for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.
