INFORMED CONSENT REGARDING USE OF TELEHEALTH
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 Hims & Hers Health, Inc. 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 or mental health 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. Participation in mental health services may reduce stress and anxiety, decrease negative thoughts, improve relationships, and increase comfort in different settings.
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 be able to provide treatment for your particular condition and you may be required to seek alternative healthcare or emergency care services; mental health services may result in feeling worse as therapy progresses; 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.
LIFE THREATENING AND OTHER EMERGENCY SITUATIONS; FOLLOW-UP CARE If you are experiencing a life-threatening situation such as contemplating suicide, call 911 or the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988.
If the situation is an emergency, call 911. In some situations, telehealth is not an appropriate method of care. If you require immediate or urgent care, you must seek care at an emergency room facility or other provider equipped to deliver urgent or emergent care. Providers may not respond promptly to communications you submit through the Service. If you are not experiencing an emergency or do not require immediate or urgent care, you can communicate with Providers through the secure message service in the Service. If a technical failure prevents you from communicating with your Providers through the Service, you should call the following number: Phone: 1-800-368-0038 (M-F 9AM – 5PM PT).
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, certain administrative purposes, and as required by law to disclose to other persons and agencies certain information obtained during the provision of mental health services (e.g., danger to self or others; mandatory reporting of child, elder, or vulnerable adult abuse) 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 Hims & Hers does not and cannot guarantee the security or privacy of the services you use to receive communications, including for example your email service provider.
LABORATORY PRODUCTS AND SERVICES Certain healthcare services provided to you by Providers via the Service may require that you complete an at-home diagnostic test. If determined necessary, a Provider will order laboratory blood testing using an at-home blood testing kit, which will be mailed to you. You can speak to your Provider if you have any questions about such testing. If you receive laboratory products and/or services from a lab through the Service, these are products and/or services of the lab, with the Service acting as the collection conduit of the lab. These diagnostic tests are provided by affiliated and/or third-party laboratories, and neither Hims & Hers Health, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Hims & Hers”), nor your Provider(s) can guarantee the accuracy or reliability of these tests. These laboratory tests can provide false negative, false positive, or inconclusive results that could impact your Provider(s) ability to correctly diagnose or treat your medical conditions. A failure or defect of these tests could also impact your Provider(s) ability to correctly diagnose or treat your medical conditions.
