7. Enrollment and Account Activation

When you initially sign up for an account, you will be asked to create a personal login name and a password. Anyone with access to your login name and password would be able to access confidential medical information, read your messages, and send new messages as if that person were you.

FH hereby grants you a limited, revocable right to make personal use of the Platform and its features only to access information stored in FH’s electronic system for use in the United States of America in accordance with these Terms. This right expressly excludes and you shall not:

  • Make any reproduction, duplication, sale, resale, or other commercial use of the Platform;
  • Make any derivative of the Platform;
  • Collect email addresses, health information, or other information about other users (except that a proxy may collect information about the patient);
  • Conduct any data mining (or conduct any other data extraction for commercial or other non-personal use);
  • Upload, transmit or capture any data or other content of any type (including messaging) that infringes upon, misappropriates, or violates the rights of any other person;

  • Take actions that hurt or could hurt the Platform, interfaces, or mobile or other devices; or
  • Use the Platform to engage in any unlawful activities.

The Platform may not always be available to you due to system maintenance, back-ups, or other reasons. Access is provided on an “as is available” basis and you are not guaranteed access at any particular time.

10. Additional Terms Associated with Telehealth Services Through the Platform

If a healthcare provider has elected to make telehealth services available through Video Visit and/or eVisit features or other on-demand video visit features within the Platform, by accepting these Terms, you are hereby consenting to clinical services being delivered via telehealth from providers who are located at sites that are remote from the patient. Video Visits, eVisits, and on-demand video visit are a type of “telemedicine” or “telehealth” service. As with any medical procedure, there are potential risks associated with the use of telemedicine or other forms of telehealth services, which may include, without limitation, the following:

  • Delays in medical evaluation and consultation or treatment may occur due to deficiencies or failures of the telehealth technology, or miscommunications between you and the healthcare provider;
  • Security protocols could fail, causing a breach of privacy of personal health information;
  • Lack of access to the patient medical records or other information, which could result in negative health outcomes (e.g., adverse drug interactions or allergic reactions); and
  • Inability to perform an in-person examination, which could result in negative health outcomes.

Providers may include primary care physicians, specialists, and/or subspecialists. The information provided to providers via Video Visits, eVisits, and on-demand video visit may be used for diagnosis, treatment, follow up and/or education, and may include live two-way audio and video and other materials (e.g., medical record information). The scope of the clinical services delivered via Video Visits, eVisits, and on-demand video visit will be at the sole discretion of the provider who is interacting with the patient, with no guarantee of diagnosis, treatment, or prescription. The provider will determine whether or not the condition being diagnosed and/or treated is appropriate for a telemedicine encounter via the Platform.

In addition, the following consents and terms apply to users receiving clinical services via the Platform who are listed in the states listed below (to the extent applicable):

  • Connecticut: The patient’s primary care provider may obtain a copy of the patient’s records from the telemedicine consultation.
  • Kentucky and Nebraska: The patient has the right to be informed of any party who will be present during the telemedicine service. The patient can exclude anyone from being present and the patient can object to the videotaping of the consultation. In addition, the patient has the right to request an in-person consult immediately after the telemedicine service and the patient will be informed if such consult is not available.
  • Tennessee: The patient may request an in-person assessment before receiving the telemedicine service.
  • Vermont: The patient may request an in-person consultation and will receive one upon request immediately or within a reasonable time after the results of the initial consult.

By clicking “ACCEPT” or by accessing or using the Platform, you acknowledge and accept the risks identified above and the terms associated with the receipt of clinical services via the Platform and the patient gives the patient’s informed consent to receive clinical services under the terms described herein.

11. The Platform is not for Emergencies or Urgent Matters

The Platform should never be used for emergencies or urgent matters. The anticipated turnaround time for response to electronic messages is two business days, but could be longer.

If the patient’s provider is out of the office or unavailable, messages sent via the Platform may be routed to other authorized caregivers to facilitate a timely response to your request. In addition, a provider may send the patient messages via the Platform. It is the patient’s responsibility to monitor these messages and respond in an appropriate manner.

12. Proxy Access for Persons Involved in Your Care

The patient may designate another person involved with the patient’s care, called a “Proxy”, to receive the patient’s information through the Platform, including the patient’s electronic medical record in our Epic EHR System. A parent or legal guardian may obtain Proxy access to a minor patient’s account prior to the patient’s 12th birthday. The Proxy will be able to access the patient’s electronic medical record in our Epic EHR System, including the ability to download, print, email and provide access to the information to others. If the patient has a Proxy, the Proxy must agree, and the patient (other than minor patients) must complete enrollment and consent forms permitting such access from time to time.

Access to a minor patient’s electronic medical record in our Epic EHR System is only available to the minor’s birth parents or individuals with legal guardianship via a Proxy access. If a parent or legal guardian has Proxy access to a minor patient’s account prior to the patient’s 12th birthday, the Proxy access will automatically terminate on the patient’s 12th birthday.

If the Proxy’s legal relationship with the patient changes, please notify your provider. We reserve the right to revoke Proxy access at any time for any reason.

An adult patient might authorize us to provide access to the patient’s electronic medical record in our Epic EHR System to persons (18 years or older) who the patient listed. The patient understands that the information is obtained from the patient’s electronic medical record in our Epic EHR System and our Platform and may include information from other providers or third parties. The patient authorizes us to provide the patient’s Proxy with access to any of the patient’s electronic medical record in our Epic EHR System available through the Platform, including, if applicable, information related to the diagnosis and treatment of mental illness, developmental disabilities, sexually transmitted diseases, HIV test results, genetic testing results, and substance use disorders.

The term of the Proxy authorization for an adult patient begins on the date of the patient’s signature on a Proxy designation form or when an electronic registration is submitted. The term of the Proxy authorization for a minor patient under the age of 12 begins when a parent or legal guardian acting as a Proxy activates the patient’s account. The term continues until we terminate the Proxy, you terminate the Proxy by revoking the authorization through the patient’s account settings or on a minor patient’s 12th birthday. If the patient revokes this authorization, the applicable Proxy’s access to the patient’s electronic medical record in our Epic EHR System will end. However, the patient’s revocation will not affect any releases of information that were made prior to processing the revocation request in reliance on these Terms.

13. Information Does Not Constitute Medical Advice

Other than any direct virtual care from health care professionals available through the Platform or Video Visit, eVisit features, or other on-demand video visit features within the Platform, FH and the Provider Organizations assume no responsibility for how you use the information you obtain from the Platform. You should consult with a physician or other health care provider regarding the patient’s condition and how the information you can view and receive through the Platform may or may not be complete or how information available through online links in the Platform may or may not apply to you. Therefore, you acknowledge that the Platform should not be used to make healthcare decisions or diagnosis and FH and the Provider Organizations shall not be liable to you for any personal injury or death arising from your use or misuse of the Platform or any information or content therein.

The patient should never change or stop any course of treatment prescribed by the patient’s physician without first consulting him or her. Always seek the advice of the patient’s physician or other qualified health care professional with any questions you may have regarding medical symptoms or a medical condition. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something you have read on the Platform, including through a third-party website link.

14. Restriction/Termination of Access to the Platform

We reserve the right to restrict or terminate access to the Platform at any time for any reason. Without limiting the foregoing, if your use of the Platform violates these Terms, we may permanently terminate your access to the Platform. We will also inactivate an account after we become aware of the patient’s death.

15. Ownership

The Platform is owned by FH or its licensors and any content made available for download through the Platform are owned by us, Epic Systems Corporation, and other third-party licensors and providers and protected by U.S. and foreign copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

We encourage you to read the terms of use, privacy policies, and other policies which apply to such websites and apps before using them. When you access MyChart from a third-party product or service that does not contain our logo and that requires you to provide your MyChart credentials, you are outside of the Platform.

The Platform may provide links or interface with products and services of third-party companies that we have made arrangements with to offer you services to help you manage the patient’s health or to take and fulfill orders when you purchase items or materials from us. These third-party products and services may be co-branded, meaning that they display our logo or the MyChart logo and the logo of the third-party company, but they are owned and controlled by the third party.

The Platform also may provide links to or interface with third-party online products and services with which we have no business relationship with the third-party that controls the product or service and a link or interface is provided only as a convenience to you.

We make no representations or warranties whatsoever about any mobile applications or other third-party product or service described in this Section or any advertisements in the Platform. We are not responsible for the acts or omissions of these third-party companies or how they use and disclose information about you. The third-party products and services are independent from the Platform. When you use the links in the Platform to access third-party products or services or access, request or save your information though products and services interfaced with the Platform, you do so entirely at your own risk.

We have no control over the content on third-party products or services and do not endorse or accept any responsibility for the content or your use of the products or services. We would like to hear from you if you find any product or service linked to within the Platform or any product or service interfaced with the Platform objectionable.

We disclaim all representations and warranties as to the security or privacy of any data you provide to any third party. We do not ensure the security of communications not under our control, including your sharing of information with other health care providers or access to your account by third-party companies which you permit.
