All JOE PILL users hereby agree to the telehealth consent.

IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING A LIFE-THREATENING SITUATION, CALL 911.   IF YOU ARE CONTEMPLATING SUICIDE, CALL THE 988 SUICIDE & CRISIS LIFELINE AT 988.

NO PRESCRIPTION MEDICATIONS WILL BE PROVIDED FROM JOE PILL TO ANY PATIENTS PRIOR TO TELEMEDICINE VISIT WITH LICENSED HEALTHCARE PROVIDER

PURPOSE The purpose of this consent form (“Consent”) is to provide you with information about telehealth and to obtain your informed consent to the use of telehealth in the delivery of healthcare and/or mental health services to you by physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and/or mental health professionals (“Providers”) using the online platforms owned and operated by JOE PILL and/or its subsidiaries (the “Service”). In this Consent, the terms “you” and “yours” refer to the person using the Service, or in the case of a use of the Service by or on behalf of an individual minor between the ages of thirteen (13) and eighteen (18) or higher age of majority under applicable state law, “you” and “yours” refer to and include (i) the parent or legal guardian who provides consent to the use of the Service by such minor or uses the Service on behalf of such minor, and (ii) the minor for whom consent is being provided or on whose behalf the Service is being utilized.

USE OF TELEHEALTH Telehealth involves the delivery of healthcare and/or mental health services using electronic communications, information technology or other means between a healthcare  provider and a patient who are not in the same physical location. Telehealth may be used for diagnosis, treatment, follow-up and/or patient education, and may include, but is not limited to, one or more of the following: electronic transmission of medical records, photo images, personal health information or other data between a patient and a provider; interactions between a patient and provider via audio, video and/or data communications (such as messaging or email communications); use of output data from medical devices, sound and video files. Alternative methods of care may be available to you, such as in-person services, and you may choose an alternative at any time. Always discuss alternative options with your Provider.

ANTICIPATED BENEFITS The use of telehealth may have the following possible benefits: making it easier and more efficient for you to access medical care or other services and treatment for the conditions treated by your Provider(s); allowing you to obtain medical care or other services and treatment by Provider(s) at times that are convenient for you; and enabling you to interact with Provider(s) without the necessity of an in-office appointment.

POTENTIAL RISKS While the use of telehealth in the delivery of care can provide potential benefits for you, there are also potential risks associated with the use of telehealth and other technology. These risks include, but may not be limited to the following: the quality, accuracy or effectiveness of the services you receive from your Provider could be limited; technology, including the Service, may contain bugs or other errors, including ones which may limit functionality, produce erroneous results, render part or all of such technology, including the Service, unavailable or inoperable, produce incorrect records, transmissions, data or content, or cause records, transmissions, data or content to be corrupted or lost; failures of technology may also impact your Provider(s) ability to correctly diagnose or treat your condition; the inability of your Provider(s) to conduct certain tests or assess vital signs in-person may in some cases prevent the Provider(s) from providing a diagnosis or treatment or from identifying the need for emergency medical care or treatment for you; your Provider(s) may not able to provide treatment for your particular condition and you may be required to seek alternative healthcare or emergency care services; delays in medical evaluation/treatment could occur due to unavailability of your Provider(s) or deficiencies or failures of the technology or electronic equipment used; the electronic systems or other security protocols or safeguards used could fail, causing a breach of privacy of your medical or other information; data stored and communicated electronically, for example, through email communications, may be more susceptible to unintended disclosure of protected health information to third parties; given regulatory requirements in certain jurisdictions, your Provider(s) diagnosis and/or treatment options, especially pertaining to certain prescriptions, may be limited; a lack of access to all of your medical records may result in adverse drug interactions or allergic reactions or other judgment errors.

DATA PRIVACY AND PROTECTION The electronic systems used in the Service will incorporate network and software security protocols to protect the privacy and security of your information and will include measures to safeguard data against intentional or unintentional corruption. Personal information that identifies you or contains protected health information will not be disclosed to any third party without your consent, except as authorized by law for the purposes of consultation, treatment, payment/billing, and certain administrative purposes, or as otherwise set forth in your Provider’s Notice of Privacy Practices. Use of the Service may include email communications to and from you that may include your protected health information. You understand that JOE PILL does not and cannot guarantee the security or privacy of the services you use to receive communications, including for example your email service provider.

You have the opportunity to discuss the use of telehealth, including the Service, with your Provider(s), including the benefits and risks of such use and the alternatives to the use of telehealth. Your Provider(s) will assess your medical condition and, in their sole discretion, may determine it is medically appropriate to diagnose and/or treat your condition via telehealth. By continuing to use the Service, you concur with your Provider’s medical assessment and agree to receive a diagnosis and/or treatment via telehealth technology. You have the right to withdraw your consent to the use of telehealth in the course of your care, without prejudice to any future care or treatment and without risking the loss or withdrawal of any health benefits to which your entitled, but you understand that the Providers who utilize the Service do not offer in-person treatment.

    Right of Access to Inspect and Copy. Unless your information was compiled in reasonable anticipation of, or for use in a civil, criminal, or administrative action or proceeding, you have the right, which may be restricted only in exceptional circumstances, to inspect and copy PHI that is maintained in a “designated record set”. A designated record set contains mental health/medical and billing records and any other records that are used to make decisions about your care. Your right to inspect and copy PHI will be restricted only in those situations where a licensed professional believes it is reasonably likely that access would endanger the life or physical safety of, or cause substantial harm to the individual or another person. We may charge a reasonable, fee for copies. If your records are maintained electronically, you may also request an electronic copy of your PHI. You may also request that a copy of your PHI be provided to another person.

    Right to Amend. If you feel that the PHI we have about you is incorrect or incomplete, you may ask us to amend the information although we are not required to agree to the amendment. If we deny your request for amendment, you have the right to file a statement of disagreement with us. We may prepare a rebuttal to your statement and will provide you with a copy. Please contact the Privacy Officer if you have any questions.

    Right to an Accounting of Disclosures. You have the right to request an accounting of certain of the disclosures that we make of your PHI. We may charge you a reasonable fee if you request more than one accounting in any 12-month period.
