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

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

Company each agree that to bring any action or proceeding in respect of any
claim arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions

enforceability of the Agreement as a whole. Failure to insist on
performance of any of the terms of the Agreement will not operate as a

right or provision or a waiver of that same right or provision at any other
time. You may not assign, transfer or delegate your rights or obligations

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

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

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
