1.1. No Duty of Care Until Accepted by Doctor. You understand and agree that the Company and its team of doctors will take responsibility for your care only after you have been accepted as a patient by the Company.

You understand and agree that the duty of care does not arise at the point of your submission of Patient Forms or other inquiry, at the point of payment, or during a Teleconsultation, but at the point at which a doctor accepts a duty of care. Medical provider users shall not create a patient relationship without first obtaining all of the information stated herein.
1.2. Right of Refusal. You understand and agree that any doctor accessible through our Services has the right to refuse to take responsibility for your care if said doctor determines, in the doctor’s exclusive professional judgment, that you are not a proper candidate for the Service. Medical provider users who decide to form a relationship with a patient shall do so unambiguously, and in a manner that informs the patient users of the scope of care.
1.3. Website Material Is Not Medical Advice. You understand and agree that, except for any communications from a provider directly to you regarding your personal health, no information provided on the Website or through the Service constitutes professional medical advice and is intended for informational purposes only. You agree that you will never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it due to something you have read on the Website.
1.4. Risks Inherent in Teleconsultations. All users shall understand and hereby agree, that important differences exist between the telehealth model of care and traditional healthcare. By using a telehealth platform, you are assuming increased responsibility for your own health and treatment options, including the responsibility to apply general information gleaned from the Website and other Internet sources to your personal health and symptoms. You understand and agree that, by choosing to obtain a Teleconsultation, you are assuming all risks of foregoing an in-person, physical consultation, including a physical exam that could identify a medical condition that requires further investigation or immediate treatment.
1.5. Risks Inherent in Medication and Supplements. All medicines prescribed or recommended by a medical provider pose risks of serious side effects and adverse events, including severe allergic reaction, permanent disability, and death. Patient users understand and agree that it is your responsibility to inform all your health care providers of any allergies, past symptoms, your history with tobacco, drugs, or alcohol, or medications or supplements taken by you and to make an informed decision regarding the risks and benefits of any medicine or supplements being prescribed. Nothing in these Terms of Service are designed to alter a medical provider’s professional judgment or duties, when patient users elect to use the Services.

Section 2. Informed Consent of Services Performed by Company.
Telemedicine involves the use of electronic communications to enable healthcare providers at different locations to share individual patient medical information for the purpose of improving patient care. Providers may include primary care practitioners, specialists, or subspecialists. The information may be used for diagnosis, therapy, follow-up or education, and may include any of the following: Patient medical records; Medical images; Live two-way audio or video; and Output data from medical devices and sound and video files Electronic systems used will incorporate network and software security protocols to protect the confidentiality of patient identification and imaging data and will include measures to safeguard the data and to ensure its integrity against intentional or unintentional corruption. Responsibility for patient care should remain with the patient’s local clinician, if you have one, as does the patient’s complete medical record.
2.1. Expected Benefits. Expected benefits of the Services include: Improved access to medical care by enabling a patient to remain in his/her local healthcare site (i.e. home) while the provider consults and obtains test results at distant/other sites; More efficient medical evaluation and management; and Obtaining expertise of a specialist. SamaritanMD and any providers being consulted do not and cannot guarantee any particular patient outcomes.
2.2. Possible Risks. As with any medical procedure, there are potential risks associated with the use of telemedicine.
2.2.1. These risks include, but may not be limited to:
In rare cases, the consultant may determine that the transmitted information is of inadequate quality, thus necessitating a face-to-face meeting with the patient, or at least a rescheduled video consult;
Delays in medical evaluation and treatment could occur due to deficiencies or failures of the equipment;
In very rare instances, security protocols could fail, causing a breach of privacy of personal medical information; and
In rare cases, a lack of access to complete medical records may result in adverse drug interactions or allergic reactions or other judgment errors.
2.3. Checking “Informed Consent”. By checking the box associated with “Informed Consent”, patient users acknowledge that you understand and agree with the following:
2.3.1. I understand that the laws that protect the privacy and the confidentiality of medical information also apply to telemedicine and that no information obtained in the use of telemedicine, which personally identifies me, will be disclosed to researchers or other entities without my written consent.
2.3.2. I understand that I have the right to withhold or withdraw my consent to the use of telemedicine in the course of my care at any time, without affecting my right to future care or treatment.
2.3.3. I understand the alternatives to telemedicine consultation as they have been explained to me, and in choosing to participate in a telemedicine consultation, I understand that some parts of the exam involving physical tests may be conducted by individuals at my location, or at a testing facility, at the direction of the consulting healthcare provider.
2.3.4. I understand that telemedicine may involve electronic communication of my personal medical information to other medical practitioners who may be located in other areas, including out of state.
2.3.5. 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.
2.3.6. I understand that my healthcare information may be shared with other individuals for scheduling and billing purposes. Others may also be present during the consultation other than my healthcare provider and consulting healthcare provider in order to operate the video equipment. The above-mentioned people will all maintain the confidentiality of the information obtained. I further understand that I will be informed of their presence in the consultation and thus will have the right to request the following: (1) omit specific details of my medical history/physical examination that is personally sensitive to me; (2) ask non-medical personnel to leave the telemedicine examination room; and/or (3) terminate the consultation at any time.
2.4. Importance of Reading All the Information we Provide. I understand the importance of reading the information the doctor provides about adverse events, including the signs and symptoms of serious side effects and common side effects from taking a medicine, as this will ensure that I seek appropriate medical attention in a timely manner.
2.5. Importance of Answering All Questions Fully and Truthfully.
2.5.1. I understand that by using the Company I seek to enter into a relationship where the doctor relies exclusively upon information and photos that I provide to decide whether or not treatment is safe and appropriate.
2.5.2. I understand that the doctor has no way of verifying the information and photos that I provide and that the doctor will consider information to be accurate, true and complete, including my age, gender and all my answers to health questions, and the photos to be of me, taken at the time of me using the service, and unaltered.
2.5.3. I understand that if I provide information that isn’t true and complete, then I’ll be at greater risk of adverse events from any treatment that the doctor prescribes and I may take a treatment that isn’t necessary, appropriate, or safe.
2.5.4. I understand that if I provide photos that are altered, not of me or not taken at the time of me using the service, then I’ll be at greater risk of adverse events from any treatment that the doctor prescribes and I may take a treatment that isn’t necessary, appropriate, or safe.
2.5.5. I understand that even if I provide information that is true and complete, I’m still at risk of adverse events from any treatment that the doctor prescribes.
2.5.6. I understand that even if I provide photos that are unaltered, of me and taken at the time of using the service, I’m still at risk of adverse events from my treatment that the doctor prescribes.
2.5.7. I understand that by using the Company I’m giving my explicit consent for the doctor to access medication history.
2.6. Risks of Accepting our Treatment Plan.
2.6.1. I understand that all the medicines that the doctor may prescribe or recommend, including over the counter medicines and ‘behind the counter’ medicines can cause serious side effects and adverse events that include severe allergic reaction, permanent disability and death.
2.6.2. I understand that it is my responsibility to make an informed decision whether to accept a treatment plan that the doctor proposes after weighing the risks and benefits of the medicine being prescribed, alternative treatment options and the risks and benefits of such alternatives, and the option of not seeking any treatment.
2.6.3. I understand that adverse events can be caused by a number of things, including an allergic reaction, side effects, or interactions between a medicine that the doctor prescribes and any medical conditions I may have, other prescription medicines or other things (e.g., supplements, herbs, over-the-counter medicines, or recreational drugs) I’m taking, and lifestyle choices such as smoking tobacco products or drinking alcohol.
2.6.4. I understand that by using the Company to diagnose and treat erectile dysfunction, the doctor won’t have the opportunity to conduct a detailed physical examination that would be possible if I were to see a doctor in person. Because the Company’s doctors cannot do a detailed physical examination there is a risk that they may not identify potential physical causes of my condition that they would be able to identify and investigate further if I were to see them in person.
2.6.5. I understand that the Company’s doctors can order a set of laboratory tests, help me understand the tests results and advise me on next steps.
2.7. Risks to Electronic Health Information. I understand that although the Company implements a wide range of administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to protect my health information and comply with HIPAA, the Company cannot guarantee the privacy and confidentiality of my health information. For more details about how the Company protects and uses your health information and complies with HIPAA, see our
Privacy Policy.
