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 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. You authorize the Company to charge your credit card on file with the
Company for the full amount due. You agree that your authorization will remain in effect until you
cancel it in writing and agree to notify the Company in writing of any changes in our account
information or termination of this authorization at least 15 days in advance of the effective date
of such change or termination. You certify that you are an authorized user of the credit card on
file with the Company and that you will not dispute the payment with your credit card company for
transactions corresponding to the terms indicated in this Agreement.

conflicts or choice of law. You and the 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 contemplated

this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby that are the subject of this Agreement, (i)
irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Michigan Courts, (ii) waives any objection

IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW AT THE TIME OF INSTITUTION OF
THE APPLICABLE LITIGATION, ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY
LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS

MISCELLANEOUS This Agreement constitutes the sole Agreement between you and the Company relating to your use and
our provision of the Service and the subject matter hereof, and no representations, statements or
inducements, oral or written, not contained in this Agreement shall bind either you or the Company.
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. Failure to insist on performance of any of the terms of
the Agreement will not operate as a waiver of any subsequent default. No waiver by the Company of
any right under this Agreement will be deemed to be either a waiver of any other 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 hereunder, in whole or in part. This Agreement shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of each of the parties and the parties' respective successors and
permitted assigns. This Agreement may be modified, supplemented, or superseded by the Company at

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 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.
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.
Law Enforcement.Your healthcare providers may
release medical information about you if required by law when asked to do so by a law enforcement
official.
Coroners and Medical Examiners.Your healthcare
providers may release medical information to a coroner or medical examiner to identify a deceased
person or determine the cause of death.
Uses and Disclosures Requiring an Authorization Other uses and disclosures of your medical information not covered by this
Notice of Privacy Practices will be made only with your written authorization. If you provide your
healthcare providers such an authorization in writing to use or disclose medical information about
you, you may revoke that authorization, in writing, at any time, except to the extent that we have
acted in reliance of it. If you revoke your authorization, Your healthcare providers will no longer
use or disclose medical information about you for the reasons covered by your written authorization.
The following are examples of uses and disclosures requiring an authorization:
Psychotherapy Notes.If your healthcare provider
maintains information which qualifies as "psychotherapy notes" as defined below, your health care
provider must obtain an authorization for any use or disclosure of psychotherapy notes, except: (i)
To carry out the following treatment, payment, or health care operations: (A) Use by the originator
of the psychotherapy notes for treatment; (B) Use or disclosure by the covered entity for its own
training programs in which students, trainees, or practitioners in mental health learn under
supervision to practice or improve their skills in group, joint, family, or individual counseling;
or (C) Use or disclosure by the covered entity to defend itself in a legal action or other
proceeding brought by the individual; and (ii) A use or disclosure that is required by the Secretary
of HHS to investigate or determine our compliance or permitted by law; uses and disclosures for
health oversight activities with respect to the oversight of the originator of the psychotherapy
notes; uses and disclosures about decedents; or uses and disclosures to avert a serious threat to
health or safety of a person or the public. Psychotherapy notes means notes recorded (in any medium)
by a health care provider who is a mental health professional documenting or analyzing the contents
of conversation during a private counseling session or a group, joint, or family counseling session
and that are separated from the rest of the individual's medical record. Psychotherapy notes

YOUR RIGHTS REGARDING YOUR MEDICAL
INFORMATION:You have the following rights regarding the medical information your
health care provider maintains about you:
Right to Inspect and Copy.Under no circumstances
will your healthcare providers sell patient lists or your health information to a third party
without your written authorization. Such authorization must state that the disclosure will result in
remuneration to the covered entity.
Right to Amend. If you feel that medical
information your healthcare provider has about you is incorrect or incomplete, you may ask your
health care provider to amend the information. You have the right to request an amendment for as
long as the information is kept by your healthcare provider. To request an amendment, your request
must be made in writing and submitted to the HIPAA Privacy Officer. In addition, you must provide a
reason that supports your request. Your health care provider may deny your request for an amendment
if it is not in writing or does not include a reason to support the request. In addition, your
health care provider may deny your request if you ask it to amend information that: (a) was not
created by your healthcare provider; (b) is not part of the medical information kept by your
healthcare provider; (c) is not part of the information which you would be permitted to inspect and
copy; or (d) is accurate and complete.
Right to an Accounting of Disclosures. You have the
right to request an “accounting of disclosures.” This is a list of the disclosures your healthcare
provider has made of your medical information. Your healthcare provider is not required to list
certain disclosures, including disclosures made for treatment, payment, and health care operations
purposes or disclosures made incidental to treatment, payment, and health care operations; however,
if these disclosures were made through an electronic health record, you have the right to request,
beginning on dates established by law or regulation, an accounting for such disclosures that were
made during the previous 3 years. To request this accounting of disclosures, you must submit your
request in writing to the HIPAA Privacy Officer. Your request must state a time period which may not
be longer than six years.
Right to Request Restrictions. You have the right
to request a restriction or limitation on the use or disclosure your healthcare provider makes of
your medical information. Your health care provider is not required to agree to your request for a
restriction, except as noted below. If your healthcare provider does agree, your healthcare provider
will comply with your request unless the information is needed to provide you emergency treatment.
Your healthcare provider is required to agree to your request for a restriction if, except as
otherwise required by law, the disclosure is to a health plan for purpose of carrying out payment or
health care operations (and is not for purposes of carrying out treatment) and the medical
information pertains solely to a health care item or service for which we have been paid out of
pocket in full. To request restrictions, you must make your request in writing to the HIPAA Privacy
Officer.
Right to Request Confidential Communications. You
have the right to request that your healthcare provider communicate with you only in a certain
manner. For example, you can ask that we only contact you at work or by mail. To request
confidential communications, you must make your request in writing to the HIPAA Privacy Officer.
Your health care provider will accommodate all reasonable requests.
