The foregoing designation and assignment of benefits and rights are without limitation and without reservation of any part or aspect thereof.

Relationship with Practitioner. If you utilize telehealth services, you agree that you are entering into an agreement with Electra Health Medical, P.C., a New York professional service corporation, Electra Health Medical Mass, P.C., a Massachusetts professional service corporation, and/or Electra Women’s Health Medical, Inc., a Pennsylvania professional corporation (collectively, the “Practice”) which shall be a provider of professional medical services to you, which means, among other things, you are entering into a practitioner – patient relationship with the physician or licensed practitioner associated with the Practice (collectively, the “Practitioners”) that personally performs the Services. You understand and agree that Elektra Health is the provider of certain administrative services to the Practice and provides access to a technology platform in order to facilitate the Services between you and the Practice and the Practitioners. You acknowledge that Elektra Health does not provide professional medical services itself and the Elektra Health website is for informational purposes only. Elektra Health does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
Consent to Treatment Via Telehealth Services
You agree and consent to receive the Services provided by the Practitioners. In connection with the Services, you understand, acknowledge and agree to the following:
As a patient, you have the right to be informed about your condition and recommended care. This disclosure is to help you become better informed so that you may make the decision to give or withhold consent as to whether or not to undergo care having had the opportunity to discuss potential benefits and risks involved.
You consent to the treatment and care constituting the Services wherever rendered by the Practitioner (in office or via telehealth) and you intend for such consent to remain effective after a diagnosis by the Practitioner is made and treatment is recommended.
You hereby request and voluntarily consent to virtual examination and holistic care with treatment recommendations that may include a wide range of prescription, and over-the-counter medicines, including hormone replacement therapy, as appropriate (collectively, “Medications”), and vitamins, minerals and herbal remedies (collectively, “Supplements”), as recommended by the licensed medical doctors (M.D.), doctors of osteopathy (D. O.), naturopathic doctors (N.D.) and advanced practice professionals, including nurse practitioners (N.P.), and other appropriately trained and licensed personnel working through the Practice with which Elektra Health contracts.
The scope of care you receive from the Practitioner will be at the sole discretion of the Practitioner with no guarantee of diagnosis, treatment or prescription. The Practitioner will determine whether or not the condition being diagnosed and/or treated is appropriate for the Services. The Practitioner may decline to treat you with the Services if, based on the professional judgment of the Practitioner, you are not well-suited for the Services.
Elektra Health is permitted to release any and all of your information, including, without limitation, PHI as defined under HIPAA, regarding the Services, consistent with these TOU and the Privacy Policy.
There are risks associated with the Services, including, but not limited to, the following: 1) loss of records from failure of electronic equipment; 2) power failures with loss of communication; and 3) invasion of electronic records by outsiders (hackers), understanding that it is impossible to list every possible risk.
You have the right to withhold or withdraw your consent to the Services at any time without affecting your right to future care or treatment. You have the right to discuss any treatment plan with the Practitioner, including the purpose, potential risks and benefits of any test, treatment or care plan.
You have the right to request a copy of all medical information transmitted during the provision of the Services, which is described in more detail in the Privacy Policy.
You understand that, by having your consent to the Services, the Practitioner associated with the Practice may communicate medical information concerning you to physicians and other health care practitioners located in other parts of the state/jurisdiction or outside the state/jurisdiction.
By acknowledging my consent to these TOU you understand and agree to the following:
I acknowledge and agree that at any time throughout my course of treatment, I can request further explanation of any Medications and/or Supplements (collectively, “Therapies”), other methods of treatment, and information about the material risks of the recommended Therapies and other treatments.
I understand that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration does not fully evaluate or approve some Supplements that may be recommended in my care, and that some Medications may be prescribed beyond FDA approved indications. I understand that, as with Medications, Supplements may be associated with side effects in certain sensitive individuals, may interact with certain Medications, or may cause symptoms due to certain pre-existing disease conditions. I do not expect my Practitioners to be able to anticipate and explain all risks and complications, and I wish to rely on my Practitioners to exercise judgment in recommending the Therapies and other treatments that my Practitioners feel at the time, based on the facts then known, are in my best interest. I understand that if I do not undertake the Therapies and other treatments as recommended, I may not get the desired result or may increase chances for an adverse effect.
I understand that it is my responsibility to keep my Practitioners up-to-date with all of the Medications, Supplements, and other drugs or other remedies that I currently am taking, so that my Practitioners can make the best informed recommendations for my care.
I have the opportunity to ask questions and discuss with my Practitioners to my satisfaction about:
- my suspected diagnosis or condition
- the nature, purpose, and potential benefit of the recommended Therapies and other treatments
- the inherent risks, complications, potential hazards, or side effects of the recommended Therapies and other treatments
- the probability or likelihood of success
- reasonable available alternatives to the recommended Therapies and other treatments
- the possible consequences if the recommended Therapies and other treatments are not followed and/or nothing is done
I further acknowledge that no guarantees or assurances have been made to me concerning the results intended from any recommended Therapies or other treatment.
I understand that the Practitioners of the Practice have been trained in a diverse range of diagnostic and therapeutic options, and offer treatment using evidence-based medicine, while including holistic principles. As such, they may: (a) recommend different tests, (b) interpret standard tests differently, and (c) propose different Therapies and other treatments than my other providers, as many perspectives exist in medicine, and in some cases there may be disagreements among qualified medical experts.
I understand that the Practitioners will provide services to me via telehealth. Telehealth is a mode of delivering health care services via communication technologies (e.g., internet or cell phone) to facilitate diagnosis, consultation, treatment, education, care management, and self-management of my care.
With respect to Telehealth services:
- I understand that the Practice offers Telehealth consultations, which are conducted through videoconferencing technology and my Practitioner will not be present in the room with me.
- I understand there are potential risks to the use of Telehealth technology, including but not limited to, interruptions, delays, unauthorized access, and or other technical difficulties. I understand that either my Practitioners or I can discontinue the Telehealth appointment if the technical connections are not adequate for my visit.
- I understand that I could seek an in-office visit for my care elsewhere, and I am choosing to participate in a Telehealth consultation with a Practitioner.
- To protect the confidentiality of my health information, I agree to undertake my Telehealth consultation in a private location, and I understand that my Practitioner will similarly be in a private location.
- I understand that my healthcare information may be shared by my Practitioner with others for treatment, scheduling or billing purposes, and as otherwise set forth in the Practice’s Notice of Privacy Practices.
- I understand that my Telehealth visit may be videotaped and reviewed for quality purposes.
- I understand I may have to check with my insurance plan to see if telehealth visits are covered.
- I further understand that I am responsible for payment of any amounts due and owing resulting from my Telehealth visit, including but not limited to co-pays, deductibles and/or amounts not covered by my health plan or any third-party payor.
- In an emergent situation, I understand that the responsibility of my Practitioner may be to direct me to emergency medical services, such as an emergency room.
I understand that my while the Practitioners may communicate with me through the Practice’s secure portal or electronic medical record, I also understand the Practitioners may contact me directly via any means of communication for which I provide contact information, including but not limited to email and text, and such messages may contain the results, reports, instructions and/or advice related to my diagnosis and/or treatment. I acknowledge that I am responsible for checking and responding to these messages, and I may not hold Elektra Health , the Practice, or any Practitioner liable for any injury, loss or claims resulting from my failure to read or respond to these messages or comply with the advice or instructions contained in a message from the Practice or any Practitioner. I acknowledge that email and text may not be secure means of communication, and that any such communications may be subject to intercept or other unwanted access or disclosure. Risks notwithstanding, I consent to the use of unsecure means of communications.
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BY SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT, I AGREE THAT MY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY A JURY OR A JUDGE IN A COURT WILL BE BARRED AS TO ANY DISPUTE RELATING TO INJURIES THAT MAY RESULT FROM NEGLIGENCE DURING MY CARE BY THE PRACTICE AND ITS PROVIDERS, AND WILL BE REPLACED BY AN ARBITRATION PROCEDURE.
I FURTHER AGREE THAT ANY CLAIMS THAT MAY ARISE OUT OF MY CARE WILL BE SUBMITTED TO AN ARBITRATOR, RATHER THAN TO A COURT FOR DETERMINATION. THE DECISION OF THE ARBITRATION PANEL WILL BE FINAL.
By accepting this form, I acknowledge I have carefully read, or have had read to me, and understand the above consent. I give my permission and consent to care, including Therapies and other treatments by the Practice and its Practitioners, as well as the videotaping of my visit, and I am fully aware of what I am signing. I intend this consent form to cover the entire course of care for my present condition and for any future condition(s) for which I seek Therapies or other treatment from the Practice.

Medical Records. You agree to the entry of your medical records into Elektra Health’s and the Practice’s computer database and understand that reasonable measures have been taken to safeguard your medical information, in accordance with federal HIPAA standards, as amended to date, but no computer or phone system is totally secure. Elektra Health recognizes your privacy and, in accordance with Elektra Health’s Privacy Policy, will not release information to anyone without your written authorization or as required or permitted by law.
Communications. You understand and agree that the Services involve the communication of your medical information, both via text or orally, to Practitioners located in other parts of the state/jurisdiction or outside of the state/jurisdiction.

You further understand and agree that it is your sole responsibility to monitor and respond to these messages, reports, and emails and that neither Elektra Health nor the Practice nor any Practitioner will be responsible in any way and you will not hold Elektra Health, the Practice or any Practitioner liable for any loss, injury, or claims of any kind resulting from your failure to read or respond to these messages or for your failure to comply with any treatment recommendations or instructions from the Practice or any Practitioner. You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures and other communications that Elektra Health and the Practice provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing. You further agree that any notices provided electronically are deemed to be given and received on the date either Elektra Health and/or the Practice transmits any such electronic communication as described in these TOU.
Please note that if you send us an email, the email will not necessarily be read or responded to by a Practitioner.

Binding Arbitration / Class Waiver
YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT ANY LEGAL CLAIM, DISPUTE OR OTHER CONTROVERSY BETWEEN YOU AND ELEKTRA HEALTH ARISING OUT OF OR OTHERWISE RELATING IN ANY WAY TO ELEKTRA HEALTH, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONTROVERSIES RELATING TO THE APPLICABILITY, ENFORCEABILITY OR VALIDITY OF ANY PROVISION OF THESE TOU (COLLECTIVELY “DISPUTES”), SHALL BE RESOLVED IN CONFIDENTIAL BINDING ARBITRATION CONDUCTED BEFORE ONE COMMERCIAL ARBITRATOR FROM THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION (“AAA”), RATHER THAN IN A COURT, AS DESCRIBED HEREIN. THE ARBITRATION WILL BE GOVERNED BY THE AAA’S COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION RULES AND, IF THE ARBITRATOR DEEMS THEM APPLICABLE, THE SUPPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES FOR CONSUMER RELATED DISPUTES (COLLECTIVELY “RULES AND PROCEDURES”). YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU ARE VOLUNTARILY AND KNOWINGLY FORFEITING YOUR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND TO OTHERWISE PROCEED IN A LAWSUIT IN STATE OR FEDERAL COURT, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN.
Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, and court review of an arbitration award is very limited. However, an arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual.
Payment of arbitration costs will be governed by the AAA’s fee schedule. Each party agrees to pay its own attorneys’ fees and expenses unless there is a governing statutory provision that requires the prevailing party to be paid attorneys’ fees and expenses.
The arbitration shall be conducted in New York County, New York. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding on all parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
For more information on AAA, its Rules and Procedures, and how to file an arbitration claim, you may call AAA at 800-778-7879 or visit the AAA website at www.adr.org.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent the Dispute arises from: (a) a violation of either party’s intellectual property rights in any manner; (b) any claim related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, unauthorized use or a violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act; and/or (c) any claim for equitable relief; then you and Elektra Health agree that a party may seek injunctive remedies (or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief) in a state or federal court in New York County, New York, and both parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts in connection with such proceedings. In addition to the foregoing, either party may assert an individual action in small claims court for Disputes that are within the scope of such court’s jurisdiction in lieu of arbitration as long as such action remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis.
ALL DISPUTES SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE OR REPRESENTATIVE BASIS. NO PARTY MAY BRING ANY CLAIM SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY, OR AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS PROCEEDING. THE CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE USER CANNOT BE JOINED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER USER. NO ARBITRATION SHALL BE CONSOLIDATED OR JOINED WITH ANY OTHER ARBITRATION. THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph’s limitations as to a particular claim or request for relief, then such claim or request for relief (and only that claim or request for relief) shall be severed from the arbitration and may be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New York County, New York, subject to the parties’ respective rights to appeal the decision. All other claims or requests for relief shall be arbitrated. The parties agree that any claims or requests for relief that are severed from an arbitration may not proceed in litigation and shall be stayed until all claims between the parties remaining in arbitration are finally resolved. The parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in New York County, New York for purposes of resolving any claims or requests for relief severed from arbitration pursuant to this paragraph.
