vendors who are treating you, with no guarantee of diagnosis, treatment, or
prescription. The healthcare provider will determine whether or not the
condition being diagnosed and/or treated is appropriate for a telehealth
encounter via the Service.
INFORMED CONSENT FOR SERVICES PERFORMED BY PHYSICIANS AND OTHER HEALTH CARE
PROVIDERS VIA THE SERVICE.
The Company is providing this information on behalf of the healthcare
providers and service vendors whom you choose to communicate with using the
Service:
Telemedicine involves the use of electronic communications to enable
healthcare providers and service vendors at sites remote from patients to
provide consultative services. Providers may include primary care
practitioners, specialists, and/or subspecialists. The information may be
used for diagnosis, therapy, follow-up and/or education, and may include
live two-way audio and/or video and other materials (e.g. medical records,
data from medical devices). The communications systems used will
incorporate network and software security protocols to protect the
confidentiality of patient information and will include reasonable measures
to safeguard the data and to ensure its integrity against intentional or
unintentional corruption. An encounter summary may be provided to the
patient at the end of each encounter which may be kept for the patient's
records and may be shared with the patient's local primary care or other
provider, as appropriate.
The anticipated benefits of telemedicine may include improved access to
medical care by enabling a patient to remain at his or her home or office
while consulting a healthcare provider and service vendor, and more
efficient medical evaluation and management. The possible risks of
telemedicine may include delays in medical evaluation and consultation or
treatment may occur due to deficiencies or failures of the equipment;
failures in security protocols, causing a breach of privacy of personal
medical information; and lack of access to complete medical records may
result in adverse drug interactions or allergic reactions or other negative
outcomes.
By clicking "AGREE," you acknowledge that you understand and agree with the
following:
- I understand that telemedicine may involve electronic
communication of my personal medical information to healthcare
providers and service vendors who may be located in other areas,
including out of state.
- I understand that I may expect the anticipated benefits from the
use of telemedicine in my care, but that no results can be
guaranteed or assured.
- I understand that I am not guaranteed that a healthcare provider
and service vendor will write a prescription or furnish treatment
to me using the Service.
- I understand that my healthcare information may be shared with
other individuals for treatment, payment and healthcare operations
purposes and/or as otherwise specified in the Notice of Privacy
Practices
- I understand that I may give additional express or implied consent
while communicating with a healthcare provider and service vendor
while using the Service.
- I agree to the terms and conditions of Payment Authorization and
Responsibility below.
Patient Consent to the Use of Telemedicine I have read and understand the
information provided above, and understand the risks and benefits of
telemedicine, and by clicking "AGREE" I hereby give my informed consent to
participate in a telemedicine visit under the terms described herein.
PAYMENT RESPONSIBILITY AND CREDIT CARD AUTHORIZATION
By accepting these terms of use, you are authorizing the Company to charge your account the full amount due from you, which collectively may include: (1) the fees established by a healthcare provider for services which you request the healthcare provider to furnish and the healthcare provider furnishes via the Service, (2) the fees established by the Company for the right to use the Service, and (3) any additional fees which the Company may establish from time to time. You agree that your credit card information will be saved to your account file with the Company for future transactions on your account.

HOW WE MAY USE AND DISCLOSE YOUR MEDICAL INFORMATION:
The following describes the different ways that your medical information
may be used or disclosed. For clarification, some examples are included.
Not every possible use or disclosure is specifically mentioned. However,
all of the ways your health care provider is permitted to use and disclose
your medical information will fit within one of these general categories:
For Treatment.Your healthcare provider will use
medical information about you to provide you with medical treatment and
services. Your health care provider may disclose medical information about
you to doctors, nurses, technicians and other personnel who are involved in
providing you medical treatment.
For Payment.Your healthcare provider may use and
disclose medical information about you so that the treatment and services
you receive may be billed to and payment may be collected from you, an
insurance company or a third party. For example, your health care provider
will need to disclose information to WoW and others about treatment you
will receive or have received in order for funds deposited in your WoW
account by you, or on your behalf, to be used to pay your health care
provider for the treatment.
For Health Care Operations.Your healthcare provider
may use and disclose medical information about you for health care
operations. For example, your healthcare providers may use medical
information to review its treatment and services and to evaluate the
performance of its staff in caring for you. Your healthcare providers may
also combine medical information about many of its patients to decide what
additional services it should offer, what services are not needed, and
whether certain new treatments are effective. Your healthcare providers may
also disclose information to doctors, nurses, technicians, and other
personnel for review and learning purposes. Your healthcare providers may
remove information that identifies you from this set of medical information
so others may use it to study healthcare and healthcare delivery without
learning the identity of the specific patients.
Appointment Reminders.Your healthcare providers may
use and disclose medical information to contact you as a reminder that you
have an appointment for treatment or medical care.
Treatment Alternatives.Your healthcare providers may
use and disclose medical information to tell you about or recommend
possible treatment options or alternatives that may be of interest to you.
Health-Related Benefits and Services.Your
healthcare providers may use and disclose medical information to tell you
about health-related benefits or services that may be of interest to you.
To Business Associates.Your healthcare providers may
hire third parties that may need your PHI to perform certain services on
behalf of the healthcare providers. These third parties are business
associates of the healthcare provider. Business associates (and their
subcontractors) must protect any PHI they receive from, or create and
maintain on behalf of, the healthcare providers. For example, the
healthcare provider may hire a third-party to issue invoices and collect
payments.
Research.Under certain circumstances, your
healthcare providers may use and disclose medical information about you for
research purposes. For example, a research project may involve comparing
the health and recovery of all patients who received one medication to
those who received another for the same condition.
As Required By Law.Your healthcare providers will
disclose medical information about you when required to do so by federal,
state or local law. For example, disclosure may be required by Workers’
Compensation statutes and various public health statutes in connection with
required reporting of certain diseases, child abuse and neglect, domestic
violence, adverse drug reactions,etc.
To Avert a Serious Threat to Health or Safety.Your
healthcare providers may use and disclose medical information about you when
necessary to prevent a serious threat to your health and safety or the
health and safety of the public or another person. Any disclosure, however,
would only be to someone able to help prevent the threat.
Health Oversight Activities.Your healthcare
providers may disclose medical information to a governmental or other
oversight agency for activities authorized by law. For example, disclosures
of your medical information may be made in connection with audits,
investigations, inspections, and licensure renewals, etc.
Lawsuits and Disputes.If you are involved in a
lawsuit or a dispute, Your healthcare providers may use your medical
information to defend themselves or to respond to a court order.
