Control by Emdeon. Emdeon, as a result of its ownership of approximately 96.7% of the total voting power of our outstanding common stock, has the ability to cause the election or removal of our entire Board of Directors, to determine matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders without the consent of our other stockholders, and to exercise a controlling influence over our business and affairs.

Six of the members are non-employee directors: Dr. Adler, Dr. Moossa and Messrs. Dimick, Keller, Manning and Trotman. Dr. Adler and Messrs.

(1) | Percent is calculated, with respect to grants by Emdeon, based upon the total number of options that Emdeon granted during 2005 and is calculated, with respect to grants by WebMD, based upon the total number of options that WebMD granted during 2005. |
|
(2) | The estimated grant date present value for options to purchase Emdeon Common Stock reflected in the above table was determined using the Black-Scholes model and the following data and assumptions: (a) the applicable option exercise prices; (b) the exercise of options within three years of the date that they become exercisable; (c) a risk-free interest rate of 3.6% per annum; (d) volatility of 0.5; and (e) that no dividends are paid on Emdeon common stock. |
The estimated grant date present value for options to purchase WebMD Class A Common Stock reflected in the above table was determined using the Black-Scholes model and the following data and assumptions: (a) the option exercise price of $17.50; (b) the exercise of options within three years of the date that they become exercisable; (c) a risk-free interest rate of 4.2% per annum; (d) volatility of 0.6; and (e) that no dividends are paid on WebMD Class A Common stock.
The ultimate values of the options will depend on the future market price of the underlying common stock, which cannot be forecast with reasonable accuracy. The actual value, if any, an optionee will realize upon exercise of an option will depend on the excess of the market value of the underlying common stock over the exercise price on the date the option is exercised. We cannot predict whether
11
the value realized by an optionee will be at or near the value estimated by the Black-Scholes model or any other model applied to value the options.

|
| • | Pursuant to the employment agreement, Mr. Gattinella was granted 55,000 shares of WebMD Restricted Stock and nonqualified options to purchase 220,000 shares of WebMD Class A Common Stock in connection with our initial public offering.

| Arrangements with David Gang |
We are a party to an employment agreement dated as of April 28, 2005, as amended as of July 13, 2005 and March 9, 2006, with David Gang, who serves as our Executive Vice President — Product and Programming and Chief Technology Officer. The following is a description of Mr. Gang’s employment agreement, as amended. In this description of Mr. Gang’s employment agreement, the terms “Change in
14
Control,” “Cause” and “Good Reason” are used with the same meanings as in the description of Mr. Gattinella’s employment agreement above.
| | |
| • | The employment agreement provides that Mr. Gang will receive an annual base salary of $450,000 and is eligible to earn a bonus of up to 100% of his base salary. For 2005, Mr. Gang received a bonus of $421,000, determined by the Compensation Committee of our Board in its discretion, based on both his own and WebMD’s performance. Mr. Gang also received a signing bonus of $500,000 in 2005 in connection with his initial employment by our company. The employment agreement provides that, in 2006 and subsequent years, achievement of 50% of Mr. Gang’s bonus will be based upon WebMD’s attainment of corporate financial and strategic goals to be established by the Compensation Committee, with the financial goals generally related to revenue and/or other measures of operating results, and that achievement of the remaining 50% of Mr. Gang’s bonus will be based on performance goals to be established by the Compensation Committee. |
|
| • | Pursuant to the employment agreement, Mr. Gang was granted, on the first day of his employment, options to purchase 400,000 shares of Emdeon Common Stock. The exercise price is $9.52 per share, the closing price of Emdeon Common Stock on such date. The options will vest in equal annual installments over four years upon each anniversary of the grant date. In the event that WebMD ceases to be a subsidiary of Emdeon, the unvested portion of the options would terminate while the vested portion would remain outstanding in accordance with its terms. If such an event occurs within the first twelve months from the grant date, the unvested portion would continue to vest through the first scheduled vesting date. |
|
| • | Mr. Gang also received 100,000 shares of restricted Emdeon Common Stock on the first day of his employment. The restricted Emdeon Common Stock will vest in equal annual installments over four years upon each anniversary of the grant date. In the event that WebMD ceases to be a subsidiary of Emdeon, the Emdeon Restricted Stock that has not yet vested at that time would be forfeited. |
|
| • | Pursuant to the employment agreement, Mr. Gang was granted 44,000 shares of WebMD Restricted Stock and nonqualified options to purchase 176,000 shares of WebMD Class A Common Stock in connection with our initial public offering. The per share exercise price of the options is the initial public offering price of $17.50. The WebMD Restricted Stock and options vest in equal installments over four years upon each anniversary of the grant date. In the event of a Change in Control of WebMD, the unvested portion of the options to purchase WebMD Class A Common Stock would continue to vest until the later of (1) two years from the date of grant and (2) the next scheduled vesting date following the Change in Control. The continued vesting applies only if Mr. Gang remains employed until six months following such Change in Control or is terminated by WebMD’s successor without Cause or he resigns for Good Reason. |
|
| • | In the event of the termination of Mr. Gang’s employment, prior to the fourth anniversary of the start date, by WebMD without Cause or by Mr. Gang for Good Reason he would be entitled to continue to receive his base salary for one year from the date of termination, to receive any unpaid bonus for the year preceding the year in which the termination occurs and, to receive health coverage until the earlier of one year following his termination and the date upon which he receives comparable coverage under another plan. In the event that a termination of Mr. Gang’s employment by WebMD without Cause or by Mr. Gang for Good Reason occurs before the fourth anniversary of Mr. Gang’s start date, 25% of the options to purchase WebMD Class A Common Stock described above would continue to vest through the next vesting date following the date of termination. |
|
| • | The employment agreement and the related agreement described below are governed by the laws of the State of New York. |

Further, 25% of the options to purchase WebMD Class A Common Stock granted in connection with our initial public offering would continue to vest through the next vesting date following the date of termination; provided that if the event triggering Good Reason is a Change in Control (as described below) then these options would be treated as described below. Mr. Vuolo’s receipt of these severance benefits is subject to his continued compliance with applicable restrictive covenants. |

|
| • | For purposes of the employment agreement, a “Change in Control” would occur when: (i) any person, entity, or group acquires at least 50% of the voting power of WebMD or Emdeon, (ii) there is a sale or all or substantially all of our or Emdeon’s assets in a transaction where then current stockholders do not receive a majority of the voting power or equity interest in the acquiring entity or its controlling affiliates or (iii) a complete liquidation or dissolution of us or Emdeon occurs. |

In the event of a change in control of our company on or after the second anniversary, but prior to the fourth anniversary, of the date of grant of the stock option granted in connection with this initial public offering, as long as Mr. Vuolo remains employed for at least 6 months after the change in control (or is terminated without Cause or resigns for Good Reason), then such option will vest through the next vesting date, whether or not Mr. Vuolo remains employed by us on such vesting date. |
|
| • | The employment agreement provides that in the event of a transaction whereby we are no longer a subsidiary of Emdeon and as a result Mr. Vuolo is no longer providing services to Emdeon, then all options to purchase Emdeon’s stock granted to Mr. Vuolo will be treated as if his employment was terminated without Cause. |

| Arrangements with Martin J. Wygod |
On August 3, 2005, Emdeon amended and restated the employment agreement, dated October 8, 2001, with Martin J. Wygod. The agreement was further amended on February 1, 2006. Under the amended agreement, Mr. Wygod serves as Emdeon’s Chairman of the Board, and also serves as our Chairman of the Board of WebMD. In these positions, Mr. Wygod focuses on the overall strategy, strategic relationships and transactions intended to create long-term value for stockholders. The following is a description of Mr. Wygod’s amended employment agreement:
| | |
| • | The employment agreement provides for an employment period through August 3, 2010. |
|
| • | Under the employment agreement, Mr. Wygod received an annual base salary of $1.26 million, for his services as Chairman of the Board of Emdeon, until the completion of WebMD’s initial public offering; when the initial public offering was completed in September 2005, Mr. Wygod’s base salary was reduced to $975,000 per year. For 2005, Mr. Wygod received a bonus of $450,000, |
17
| | |
| | determined by the Compensation Committee in its discretion, based on both his own and our company’s performance. |
|
| • | Pursuant to the employment agreement, Mr. Wygod was granted 55,000 shares of WebMD Restricted Stock and nonqualified options to purchase 220,000 shares of WebMD Class A Common Stock in connection with our initial public offering. The per share exercise price of the options is the initial public offering price of $17.50. The WebMD Restricted Stock and the options vest in equal installments over four years upon each anniversary of the grant date. |
|
| • | In the event of termination of Mr. Wygod’s employment by us without “Cause” (as described below) or by Mr. Wygod for “Good Reason” (as described below), Mr. Wygod would become a consultant for us and would be entitled to receive his salary, at the rate then in effect, and continuation of benefits until the later of (i) two years following such termination or (ii) August 3, 2010. In addition, all options, or other forms of equity compensation, granted to Mr. Wygod by us or any of our affiliates (which would include WebMD) that have not vested prior to the date of termination would become vested as of the date of termination and, assuming there has not been a “Change in Control” of Emdeon or of WebMD (as described below), would continue to be exercisable as long as he remains a consultant (or longer if the plan or agreement expressly provided). In the event that Mr. Wygod’s employment is terminated due to death or disability, he or his estate would receive the same benefits as described above. For purposes of the employment agreement: |
| | |
| (a) | “Cause” includes a final court adjudication that Mr. Wygod (i) committed fraud or a felony directed against our company relating to his employment, or (ii) materially breached any of the material terms of the employment agreement; and |
|
| (b) | “Good Reason” includes the following conditions or events: (i) a material reduction in title or responsibility that remains in effect for 30 days after written notice, (ii) a final court adjudication that we materially breached any material provisions of the employment agreement, (iii) failure to serve on our Board or Executive Committee of our Board, or (iv) the occurrence of a “Change in Control” (as described below) of Emdeon. |
| | |
| • | The employment agreement provides that in the event there is Change in Control of Emdeon, all outstanding options and other forms of equity compensation (including equity compensation granted by WebMD) would become immediately vested on the date of the Change in Control and, if following the Change in Control, Mr. Wygod’s employment terminates for any reason other than Cause, they would continue to be exercisable until the tenth anniversary of the applicable date of grant. A Change in Control is also an event that constitutes Good Reason for purposes of a termination by Mr. Wygod. In the event there is a Change in Control of WebMD, any portion of Mr. Wygod’s equity that relates to WebMD will fully vest and become exercisable on the date of such event, and if following such event, Mr. Wygod’s engagement with WebMD is terminated for any reason other than cause, such equity will remain outstanding until the expiration of its original term. For purposes of the employment agreement: |
| | |
| (a) | a “Change in Control” of Emdeon includes (i) a change in the majority of the Board of Directors of Emdeon without the consent of the incumbent directors, (ii) any person or entity becoming the beneficial owner of 25% or more of the voting shares of Emdeon and the Compensation Committee determines that such transaction constitutes a change in control, taking into consideration all relevant facts, (iii) consummation of a reorganization, merger or similar transaction where Emdeon’s stockholders no longer represent 50% of the voting power and (iv) consummation of a sale of all or substantially all of Emdeon’s assets; and |
|
| (b) | a “Change in Control” of WebMD includes (i) a change in the majority of the Board of Directors of WebMD without the consent of the incumbent directors, (ii) any person or entity becoming the beneficial owner of 50% or more of the voting shares of WebMD, |
18
| | |
| | (iii) consummation of a reorganization, merger or similar transaction where WebMD’s stockholders no longer represent 50% of the voting power; and (iv) consummation of a sale of all or substantially all of WebMD’s assets |
| |
| provided that no public offering nor any split-off, spin-off, stock dividend or similar transaction as a result of which the voting securities of WebMD are distributed to Emdeon’s stockholders will constitute a Change in Control of WebMD or Emdeon. |
| | |
| • | In the event Mr. Wygod terminates his engagement with WebMD for “Good Reason” (as described in the following sentence), WebMD Restricted Stock and options to purchase WebMD Class A Common Stock granted to him will fully vest and become exercisable on the date his engagement terminates and will remain exercisable for the period beginning on such date and ending on the later of two years following such termination or August 3, 2010. For the purposes of a termination of Mr. Wygod’s engagement with WebMD by him, “Good Reason” means a material reduction in Mr. Wygod’s title or responsibilities as Chairman of the Board of WebMD. |
|
| • | In the event that Mr. Wygod’s employment with Emdeon is terminated for any reason, but he remains Chairman of the Board of WebMD, WebMD will have no obligation to pay a salary to Mr. Wygod. |
|
| • | The employment agreement contains confidentiality obligations that survive indefinitely and non-solicitation and non-competition obligations that continue until the second anniversary of the date his employment has ceased. |
|
| • | The employment agreement contains a taxgross-up provision relating to any excise tax that Mr. Wygod incurs by reason of his receipt of any payment that constitutes an excess parachute payment as defined in Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code. Any excess parachute payments and related taxgross-up payments made to Mr. Wygod will not be deductible for federal income tax purposes. |
Mr. Wygod was granted, on January 27, 2006, options to purchase 600,000 shares of Emdeon Common Stock at an exercise price of $8.77, the closing price of Emdeon Common Stock on the date of grant; and (b) 150,000 shares of Emdeon Restricted Stock. The options to purchase Emdeon Common Stock are scheduled to vest in equal annual installments of 25% over four years and the shares of Emdeon Restricted Stock are scheduled to vest in equal annual installments of 331/3% over three years.

| (1) | The amounts set forth below include shares of WebMD Restricted Stock, which are subject to vesting requirements based on continued employment, in the respective amounts stated in the footnotes below. Holders of WebMD Restricted Stock have voting power, but not dispositive power, with respect to unvested shares of WebMD Restricted Stock. For information regarding the vesting schedules of the WebMD Restricted Stock, see “Executive Compensation — Summary Compensation Table” and “Compensation of Non-Employee Directors” above. |
22
| | |
| (2) | Shares of Class B Common Stock are convertible, at the option of the holder, on a one-for-one basis for Class A Common Stock. Accordingly, under the rules and regulations of the SEC, which provide that shares of common stock that a person has the right to acquire within 60 days are deemed to be outstanding and beneficially owned by that person for the purpose of computing the total number of shares beneficially owned by that person and the percentage ownership of that person, Emdeon is the beneficial owner of 48,100,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, which would represent 85.8% of the outstanding Class A Common Stock on that basis. However, those shares are not deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person, each of which is based on the total number of shares of our outstanding Class A Common Stock which, as of April 14, 2006, was 7,954,426. The column entitled “Percent of Total Class A and Class B Outstanding” provides information on each listed holder’s percentage ownership of the total number of shares of our outstanding common stock which, as of April 14, 2006, was 56,054,426. |
|
| (3) | Since each share of Class B Common Stock is entitled to five votes per share and each share of Class A Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share, Emdeon controls, through its ownership of Class B Common Stock, approximately 96.7% of the combined voting power of the outstanding common stock of WebMD. |
|
| (4) | The information shown is as of December 31, 2005 and is based upon information disclosed by FMR Corp., Fidelity Management and Research Company, Fidelity Growth Company Fund and Edward C. Johnson, 3d in a Schedule 13G filed with the SEC. Such persons reported that FMR Corp. and the other members of the filing group had, as of December 31, 2005, sole power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of 1,511,259 shares of WebMD Class A Common Stock and sole power to vote or to direct the vote of 44,200 shares of WebMD Class A Common Stock. Sole power to vote the other shares of WebMD Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by the filing group resides in the respective boards of trustees of the funds that have invested in the shares. The interest of Fidelity Growth Company Fund, an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, amounted to 545,200 shares of WebMD Class A Common Stock as of December 31, 2005. |

Item 13. | Certain Relationships and Related Transactions |
Transactions with Emdeon
This section describes the material provisions of agreements between WebMD (or one of its subsidiaries) and Emdeon (or one of its subsidiaries other than WebMD and its subsidiaries). For additional information regarding the financial terms of these agreements and charges from WebMD to Emdeon and from Emdeon to WebMD under these agreements and certain predecessor arrangements, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Transactions with Emdeon” and Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report.
We have entered into a Services Agreement with Emdeon pursuant to which we are charged for specified services provided to us by Emdeon. Under the Services Agreement, Emdeon receives an amount that reasonably approximates its cost of providing services to us. The services that Emdeon provides to us include certain administrative services, including services relating to payroll, accounting, tax planning and compliance, employee benefit plans, legal matters and information processing. In addition, we reimburse Emdeon for an allocated portion of certain expenses that Emdeon incurs for outside services and similar items, including insurance and audit fees, outside personnel, facilities costs, professional fees, software maintenance fees and telecommunications costs. Emdeon has agreed to make the services available to us for a term of up to 5 years following our initial public offering. However, we are not required, under the Services Agreement, to continue to obtain services from Emdeon. In the event we wish to receive those services from a third party or provide them internally, we have the option to terminate services, in whole or in part, at any time we choose to do so, generally by providing, with respect to the specified services or groups of services, 60 days’ notice and, in some cases, paying a termination fee of not more than $30,000 to cover costs of Emdeon relating to the termination. Emdeon has the option to terminate the services that it provides to us, in whole or in part, if it ceases to provide such services for itself, upon at least 180 days’ written notice to us. From the date of the initial public offering through December 31, 2005, we paid Emdeon approximately $696,000 under the Services Agreement.
| |
| Registration Rights Agreement |
We have entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with Emdeon, which requires us to use our reasonable best efforts, upon Emdeon’s request, to register under the applicable federal and state securities laws any of the shares of our equity securities of or owned by Emdeon for sale in accordance with Emdeon’s intended method of disposition, and to take such other actions as may be necessary to permit the sale in other jurisdictions, subject to specified limitations. Emdeon has the right to include the shares of our equity securities it beneficially owns in other registrations of these equity securities we initiate. We are required to pay all expenses incurred in connection with each registration, excluding underwriters’ discounts, if any. Subject to specified limitations, the registration rights are assignable by Emdeon and its assigns. The Registration Rights Agreement contains customary indemnification and contribution provisions.
We are a party to a Tax Sharing Agreement with Emdeon that governs the respective rights, responsibilities, and obligations of Emdeon and us with respect to tax liabilities and benefits, tax attributes, tax contests and other matters regarding taxes and related tax returns. In general, the Tax Sharing Agreement does not require Emdeon or us to reimburse the other party to the extent of any net tax savings realized by the consolidated group, as a result of the group’s utilization of our or Emdeon’s attributes, including net operating losses, during the period of consolidation. However, under the Tax Sharing Agreement, Emdeon has agreed to compensate us for any use of our net operating losses that may result from certain extraordinary transactions, including a sale of Emdeon Business Services and Emdeon
24
Practice Services. Specifically, if Emdeon or any corporation that is controlled, directly or indirectly, by Emdeon other than WebMD or its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Emdeon Subgroup”) has income or gain from the sale of assets (including a subsidiary) outside the ordinary course of business, extinguishment of debt or other extraordinary transaction (“Extraordinary Gains”), Emdeon will make a payment to WebMD and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “WebMD Subgroup”) equal to 35% of the amount of the WebMD Subgroup’s net operating losses (“NOLs”) that are absorbed in the consolidated tax return as a result of the incurrence of such Extraordinary Gains.
Although Emdeon has stated that it does not currently intend or plan to undertake a split-off, spin-off or other similar transaction, we have agreed in the Tax Sharing Agreement that we will not knowingly take or fail to take any action that could reasonably be expected to preclude Emdeon’s ability to undertake a split-off or spin-off on a tax-free basis. We also have agreed that, in the event that Emdeon decides to undertake a split-off or spin-off of our capital stock to Emdeon’s shareholders, we will enter into a new Tax Sharing Agreement with Emdeon that will set forth the parties’ respective rights, responsibilities and obligations with respect to any such split-off or spin-off.
Beneficial ownership of at least 80% of the total voting power and value of our capital stock is required in order for Emdeon to continue to include the WebMD Subgroup in its consolidated group for federal income tax purposes. It is the present intention of Emdeon to continue to file a single consolidated federal income tax return with its eligible subsidiaries. Each member of the consolidated group for federal income tax purposes will be jointly and severally liable for the federal income tax liability of each other member of the consolidated group. Accordingly, although the Tax Sharing Agreement allocates tax liabilities between WebMD and Emdeon during the period in which WebMD is included in the consolidated group of Emdeon, we could be liable for the federal income tax liability of any other member of the consolidated group in the event any such liability is incurred and not discharged by such other member. The Tax Sharing Agreement provides, however, that Emdeon will indemnify WebMD to the extent that, as a result of being a member of the consolidated group of Emdeon, WebMD becomes liable for the federal income tax liability of any other member of the consolidated group, other than the WebMD Subgroup. Correspondingly, the Tax Sharing Agreement requires us to indemnify Emdeon and the other members of the consolidated group with respect to our federal income tax liability. Similar principles generally will apply for income tax purposes in some state, local and foreign jurisdictions.
We have entered into an Indemnity Agreement with Emdeon, under which we and Emdeon have agreed to indemnify each other with respect to some matters. We have agreed to indemnify Emdeon against liabilities arising from or based on:
| | |
| • | the operations of our business; |
|
| • | any material untrue statements or omissions in the Prospectus included in the IPO Registration Statement, other than material untrue statements or omissions contained in or pertaining to information relating solely to Emdeon; and |
|
| • | guarantees or undertakings made by Emdeon to third parties in respect of our liabilities or obligations or those of our subsidiaries. |
Emdeon has agreed to indemnify us against liabilities arising from or based on:
| | |
| • | the operations of Emdeon’s business; |
|
| • | any material untrue statements or omissions in the Prospectus included in the IPO Registration Statement, other than material untrue statements or omissions contained in or pertaining to information relating solely to us; and |
|
| • | certain pre-existing legal proceedings. |
The agreement contains provisions governing notice and indemnification procedures.
25
| |
| Intellectual Property License Agreement |
The Intellectual Property License Agreement governs certain rights, responsibilities, and obligations of Emdeon and us with respect to the name “WebMD” and related intellectual property that Emdeon has used. Under the Intellectual Property License Agreement, we have agreed to license certain of our trademarks, trade names and service marks back to Emdeon for an initial period of 12 months to allow Emdeon to transition to its new name. Except as provided in the Intellectual Property License Agreement, Emdeon transferred any right it may have to the name “WebMD” and the related intellectual property to our company prior to the completion of our initial public offering.
Emdeon has licensed our private portal health and benefits management services for use by its employees and the employees of its other subsidiaries for a period of three years, through June 30, 2008. The fees payable by Emdeon to us for this license are approximately $250,000 annually.
Through ourThe Little Blue Booksubsidiaries, for an annual license fee of $250,000, we provide a license to a subsidiary of Emdeon of certain physician-related information, such as names, addresses and hospital and HMO affiliation, for use by Emdeon’s subsidiary in communicating with physicians. This license agreement is automatically renewed for successive one-year terms unless either party elects not to renew by providing a30-day notice.
| |
| Product Development, Marketing and Related Arrangements |
On January 31, 2006, Emdeon and WebMD entered into the agreements described below. Pursuant to these agreements, the parties have agreed to support each other’s product development and marketing of certain product lines, as more fully described below. WebMD will, in general, manage the product development and marketing of Emdeon’s and WebMD’s product lines in the following areas:
| | |
| • | online tools and applications that are displayed to physicians and consumers that provide “quality” ratings of providers and that analyze patient care (we refer to these types of applications as External Clinical Quality Applications); and |
|
| • | online tools and applications that are displayed to end-user consumers, plan members and/or patients to assist in (a) communicating with, or viewing information from, providers or payers, (b) making informed benefit, provider and/or treatment choices, through access to content, personal health records, plan comparison tools, benefit comparison tools, cost treatment indicators, calculators, etc. or (c) managing and utilizing consumer-directed health plans and the related health savings accounts and other consumer directed financial accounts (we refer to all of these types of applications as Consumer-Directed Applications). |
Emdeon may continue to develop and market products and services that are principally provided for internal use by healthcare payers and that provide clinical quality measures of physicians, hospitals and providers, and analytics and reporting to such payers on the quality of patient care (we refer to these types of applications as Internal Clinical Quality Services) and WebMD may develop and market its own Internal Clinical Quality Services and it may, but is not required to, sell Emdeon’s Internal Clinical Quality Services. The parties have also agreed to work together to try to develop certain other products and services.
We believe that the growing market for Consumer Directed Health Plans (referred to as CDHPs) and related Health Savings Accounts (referred to as HSAs) presents a significant future business
26
opportunity for WebMD and that the agreements described below will help accelerate our progress in this market in several ways:
| | |
| • | Under CDHPs, consumers are required to assume greater responsibility for the financial impact of their personal healthcare decisions. Accordingly, consumers in CDHPs require tools that can assist them in making more informed decisions. In providing services that help meet those needs, we will have access to certain Emdeon services and capabilities that we believe will further enhance our services, including our services that provide comparative information on healthcare provider cost and quality. |
|
| • | The agreements are expected to lead to new capabilities for data sharing that will enable WebMD and Emdeon to develop new services that facilitate appropriate payment to providers for their services, and inform patients of their financial responsibility for a specific procedure or treatment. |
|
| • | Our agreement with Emdeon to market the WebMD CDHP/ HSA offering to Emdeon’s health plan customers is expected to help accelerate WebMD’s market penetration of these new services. |
Business Services Agreement. The terms of this agreement, which will remain in effect for 5 years unless terminated earlier in accordance with its terms, include the following:
| | |
| • | External Clinical Quality Applications. Emdeon will provide a perpetual license to WebMD of Emdeon’s External Clinical Quality Applications. In addition, WebMD will be permitted to develop, market and sell its own or other third party External Clinical Quality Applications. During the term of this Agreement, Emdeon will not provide External Clinical Quality Applications as stand-alone products other than through WebMD Health; provided, however, that Emdeon will be permitted to offer External Clinical Quality Applications to its potential or current payer customers in connection with the integration of External Clinical Quality Applications with other Emdeon core services. During the term of this agreement, WebMD will pay Emdeon a 20% royalty on net sales of Emdeon’s External Clinical Quality Applications (or, in particular instances, such other mutually agreed on royalty). In addition, if WebMD requires customization or incremental development of an Emdeon External Clinical Quality Application in connection with a potential sale, and/or if WebMD needs assistance in resolving a performance issue regarding an Emdeon External Clinical Quality Application, Emdeon will charge WebMD customary rates for such assistance. The pricing pursuant to which WebMD will make the Emdeon External Clinical Quality Applications available to an Emdeon customer will be competitive with the pricing it provides to other similar customers purchasing substantially the same products at the same volume or commitment levels. The provisions of the agreement do not apply to Emdeon’s electronic health record applications, products that provide for sending and receiving of prescriptions and lab results and other similar applications provided by Emdeon and reasonable extensions of such products. Upon termination of the agreement, Emdeon has agreed to provide WebMD with a copy of the underlying source code and documentation for the External Clinical Quality Applications so that WebMD may continue to use the perpetual license to such products. |
|
| • | Internal Clinical Quality Applications. Emdeon may make available to WebMD customers Emdeon’s Internal Clinical Quality Services for integration with WebMD’s products and services. The pricing pursuant to which Emdeon will make Emdeon’s Internal Clinical Quality Services available to WebMD customers will be competitive with the pricing it provides to other similar customers purchasing substantially the same products at the same volume/commitment levels. WebMD may also develop and sell its own Internal Clinical Quality Services or license and work with third parties for such services. Emdeon will pay WebMD a 10% sales commission on net sales of Emdeon’s Internal Clinical Quality Services by WebMD. |
|
| • | Consumer-Directed Applications. Emdeon has, in general, agreed that WebMD will manage the product development and marketing of Consumer-Directed Applications and that, except as described below, Emdeon will not make such applications available itself or through a third party, other than in conjunction with WebMD. |
27
| | |
| — | If Emdeon identifies a need for a Consumer-Directed Application in order to support a business requirement related to the marketing of its core services, Emdeon will first present WebMD with the opportunity to meet Emdeon’s requirement. If WebMD elects not to pursue this opportunity or if, after electing to do so, fails to meet the applicable delivery schedule, Emdeon may pursue that opportunity through a third party or on its own, on substantially the same terms. For each Consumer-Directed Application provided to Emdeon, WebMD is paid the greater of: (a) WebMD’s cost plus 50%; or (ii) WebMD’s established market price for such product (which price will be competitive with the pricing WebMD provides to other similar customers purchasing substantially the same products at the same volume/commitment levels). In addition, if Emdeon sells the Consumer-Directed Application to a third party, Emdeon will pay WebMD a 10% royalty on net sales of the application. |
|
| — | In addition, WebMD and Emdeon have agreed to work together to develop a potential Consumer Directed Application that may provide information regarding the potential cost of care or financial responsibility for individual medical and/or drug claims. Emdeon has agreed that any such product developed that provides a patient or plan member view as to the portion of the cost of care for which the patient or plan member is responsible shall be provided through WebMD, and during the term of this agreement, Emdeon will not make such product available itself or through a third party other than in conjunction with WebMD. If Emdeon and WebMD develop such product, they have agreed to negotiate an equitable allocation between the parties of the sales price for such product. |
|
| — | The provisions of the agreement relating to Consumer-Directed Applications do not apply to the following Emdeon products and services: (a) paper and electronic invoices, statements, checks and explanation of benefits forms (EOBs), along with reasonable extensions of these products and services; (b) currently contemplated patient-facing applications linked to the practice management systems and electronic medical records systems of Emdeon Practice Services; (c) services provided by VIPS under contracts with the United States government and/or state governments; and (d) distribution (in addition to through WebMD), through portals that are not competitive with the WebMD Health consumer portal, of online consumer access for healthcare payment and billing services referred to above in clause (a). |
Marketing Agreement. The terms of this agreement, which will remain in effect for 5 years unless terminated earlier in accordance with its terms, include the following:
| | |
| • | Emdeon’s Business Services segment will market to its payer customers, for integration into their CDHP offerings, WebMD’s online decision-support tools that support CDHPs and HSAs, including retirement health care and HSA planners, cost estimator and expense alerts (we refer to these tools, collectively, as HSA Tools). During the term of the agreement, Emdeon has agreed not to market other services that are similar to the HSA Tools. |
|
| • | Emdeon will receive a commission of 10% of the net sales of HSA Tools made through Emdeon. |
Joint Development Agreement. The terms of this agreement, which will remain in effect for 5 years unless terminated earlier in accordance with its terms, include the following:
| | |
| • | Emdeon and WebMD have agreed to attempt to integrate WebMD’s personal health record with the clinical products, including the electronic medical record, of Emdeon’s Practice Services segment to allow import of data from one to the other, subject to applicable law and privacy and security requirements. |
|
| • | To the extent that Emdeon desires to integrate its electronic health record product with a personal health record, it has agreed to do so through WebMD. |
28
| |
| Other Business Arrangements with Emdeon |
We have in the past, and may from time to time in the future, have small transactions with Emdeon or its subsidiaries not involving an ongoing contract. For example, from time to time, Emdeon has advertised some of its products and services on our physician portals.
Other Related Party Transactions
Emdeon was reimbursed approximately $259,000, $236,000 and 230,000 during 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, by Martin J. Wygod (who serves as its Chairman of the Board and as our Chairman of the Board), and a corporation that he controls, for personal use of certain of Emdeon’s staff and office facilities and for the personal portion of certain travel expenses.
Mark J. Adler, M.D., a non-employee director of WebMD and of Emdeon, is a partner in a group medical practice that is a customer of Emdeon’s Practice Services segment. The practice purchases products and services on terms generally available, in the ordinary course of our business, to similar customers. During 2005, the aggregate amount payable to Emdeon Practice Services by this practice was approximately $31,000. During 2004, the aggregate amount payable was approximately $19,000. During 2003, the aggregate amount payable was approximately $73,000.
During 2006, LGS DEV, LLC., a software development firm, is expected to undertake certain project work for WebMD. These services include developing, installing and testing several software tools for use in the operation of WebMD’s business. The aggregate fees, for all such services during 2006, to be paid by WebMD are expected to be approximately $80,000 to $100,000. The brother of David Gang, one of our executive officers, is a partner in this firm.
FMR Corp. beneficially owned, based on its holdings as of December 31, 2005, shares representing approximately 19.0% of the outstanding WebMD Class A Common Stock and approximately 16.2% of Emdeon’s outstanding common stock. Affiliates of FMR Corp. provide services to Emdeon in connection with the Emdeon 401(k) Savings and Employee Stock Ownership Plan and the Porex 401(k) Savings Plan. During 2005 and 2004, the aggregate amount charged to Emdeon for these services was approximately $38,000 and $44,000, respectively. In 2004, we entered into an agreement with Fidelity Human Resources Services Company LLC (“FHRS”) (formerly known as Fidelity Employer Services Company LLC) to integrate WebMD’s private portals product into the services FHRS provides to its clients. FHRS provides human resources administration and benefit administration services to employers. We recorded revenue of $2,960,000 and $817,000 in 2005 and 2004, respectively, and $1,068,000 and $984,000 was included in accounts receivable as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, related to the FHRS agreement.

Item 14. | Principal Accountant Fees and Services |
In addition to retaining Ernst & Young LLP to audit our consolidated financial statements for 2005 and in connection with our initial public offering and to review our quarterly financial statements, we retained Ernst & Young to provide certain related services. The fees for Ernst & Young’s services to WebMD in 2005 were:
| | | | |
Type of Fees | | Amount of Fees | |
| | | |
Audit Fees | | $ | 2,060,000 | |
Audit-Related Fees | | | — | |
Tax Fees | | | — | |
All Other Fees | | | — | |
| | | |
Total Fees | | $ | 2,060,000 | |
| | | |
The “audit fees” include: (a) fees billed for professional services (i) for the audit of the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, (ii) for the audit of the consolidated financial statements included in the IPO Registration Statement, and (iii) for review of the consolidated financial statements included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed for the third quarter of 2005; and (b) fees billed for services that are normally provided by the principal accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements. These services were pre-approved by our Audit Committee or, if prior to our initial public offering, were pre-approved by the Audit Committee of Emdeon’s Board of Directors.
Our Audit Committee has, as of the date of this Annual Report, decided to consider whether to pre-approve permissible non-audit services and fees on a case-by-case basis, rather than pursuant to a general policy, with the exception of acquisition-related due diligence engagements, which have been pre-approved by the Audit Committee and are subject to monitoring by the Chairman of the Audit Committee. To ensure prompt handling of unexpected matters, our Audit Committee has delegated to its Chairman the authority to pre-approve permissible non-audit services and fees and to amend or modify pre-approvals that have been granted by the entire Audit Committee. A report of any such actions taken by the Chairman is provided to the Audit Committee at the next Audit Committee meeting.
