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.

HIPAA NOTICE OF PRIVACY PRACTICES
FURNISHED ON BEHALF OF YOUR HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS UTILIZING WoWTM
THIS NOTICE DESCRIBES HOW MEDICAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOU MAY BE USED AND
DISCLOSED AND HOW YOU CAN GET ACCESS TO THIS INFORMATION.
PLEASE REVIEW IT CAREFULLY
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS NOTICE, PLEASE CONTACT THE
HIPAA PRIVACY OFFICER IDENTIFIED BELOW.
Your medical information is personal. Your health care provider is committed to protecting your medical information. Your health care provider creates a record of the care and services you receive from us. Your health care provider needs this record to provide you with care and to comply with certain legal requirements. This Notice applies to all of the records of your care created and maintained by your health care provider who utilizes WoW’s service.
This Notice will tell you about the ways in which your healthcare providers may use and disclose your medical information. This Notice will also describe your rights and certain obligations we have regarding the use and disclosure of your medical information.
Your healthcare provider is required by law to: (1) make sure that medical information that identifies you is kept private; (2) give you this Notice of your health care provider’s legal duties and privacy practices with respect to medical information about you; and (3) follow the terms of the Notice that is currently in effect.
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.

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:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. I understand that I may give additional express or implied consent while communicating with a healthcare provider and service vendor while using the Service.
6. 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 AUTHORIZATIONBy 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.

Any of the terms of this Agreement which are determined to be invalid or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability, without rendering invalid or unenforceable any of the remaining terms of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of the Agreement as a whole.

This Notice will tell you about the ways in which your healthcare providers may use and disclose your medical information. This Notice will also describe your rights and certain obligations we have regarding the use and disclosure of your medical information.

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.
