These terms and conditions of use (“Terms of Use”) govern your use of our websites, apps, or social media pages owned and controlled by Pio Health., including www.piohealth.co (collectively, the “Site”), as well as the Services (as defined below) and products (“Products”) available to users through the Site.

Note, Pio Health (“Pio Health,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) is not a medical group. Any telemedicine consults obtained through our Site are provided by independent medical practitioners, including, but not limited to, Drg Medicine / DrgMed (“DrgMed Medical”), an independent medical group with a network of United States-based health care providers (each a “Provider”). 

DrgMedicine / DrgMed (or your own medical provider if you do not use a DrgMedicine / DrgMed Medical Provider) is responsible for providing you with a Notice of Privacy Practices describing its collection and use of your health information, not Pio Health. If you do not agree to be bound by those terms, you are not authorized to access or use our Site, and you must promptly exit our Site.

The professional medical services (which are provided by your Provider) and the non-clinical Site services (which are provided by Pio Health) are collectively referred to in this Terms of Use as the “Services”.

1. Services Provided – No Medical Care or Advice by Pio Health

The Providers are independent of Pio Health and are merely using the Site as a way to communicate with you. Any information or advice received from a Provider comes from them alone and not from Pio Health. Your interactions with the Providers via the Site are not intended to take the place of your relationship with your regular health care practitioners or primary care physician. Neither Pio Health nor any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or any third party who may promote the Site or Service or provide a link to the Service shall be liable for any professional advice obtained from a Provider via the Site or Service, nor any information obtained on the Site. Piom  Health does not recommend or endorse any specific Providers, tests, physicians, medications, products, or procedures. You acknowledge that your reliance on any Providers or information delivered by the Providers via the Site or Service is solely at your own risk, and you assume full responsibility for all risks associated herewith.  

Pio Health does not make any representations or warranties about the training or skill of any Providers who deliver services via the Site or Service. You will be provided with available Providers based solely on the information you submit to the Site. You are ultimately responsible for choosing your particular Provider.

You should always seek the advice of your qualified healthcare professionals with any questions or concerns you may have regarding your individual needs and any medical conditions. All information provided by Pio Health or in connection with any communications supported by Pio Health is intended to be for general information purposes only and is in no way intended to create a provider-patient relationship as defined by state or federal law. While Pio Health facilitates your selection of and communications with Providers, Pio Health does not provide medical services, and the doctor-patient relationship is between you and the Provider you select.

The medical services, treatment, and care you receive may vary depending on the Provider you interact with. Please contact your Provider directly for any questions regarding your care or medical treatment.

Not for Emergencies

IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING A MEDICAL EMERGENCY, YOU SHOULD DIAL “911” IMMEDIATELY.

Pio Health’s Site and Services are not for medical emergencies or urgent situations. You should not disregard or delay to seek medical advice based on anything that appears or does not appear on the Site. If you believe you have an emergency, call 9-1-1 immediately.

You should seek emergency help or follow up care when recommended by a Provider or when otherwise needed. You should continue to consult with your primary provider and other healthcare professionals as recommended. Always seek the advice of a physician or other qualified healthcare provider concerning questions you have regarding a medical condition and before stopping, starting, or modifying any treatment or modification.

Risks of Telehealth Services

Telehealth involves the delivery of healthcare services using electronic communications, information technology or other means between a healthcare provider and a patient who are not in the same physical location. While the provision of health care services using telehealth may offer certain potential benefits, there are also potential risks associated with the use of telehealth. The telehealth services are not a substitute for in-person health care in all cases. In order to use the Service, you will be required to review and agree to an informed consent regarding the use of telehealth (the “Patient Consent”) that will be provided to you by the Providers through the Site. You agree that Pio Health is a third-party beneficiary of the Patient Consent and has the right to enforce it against you.

Prescription Policy

Certain products available through the Site require a valid prescription by a licensed healthcare provider. You will not be able to obtain a prescription product unless you have completed a consultation with one of the Providers through the Site, the Provider has determined the prescription product is appropriate for you and the Provider has written a prescription.

If a Provider determines a prescription product is appropriate for you and writes a prescription, you may fill the prescription at any pharmacy of your choice as prompted during your use of the Service.

You agree that any prescriptions that you acquire from a Provider will be solely for your personal use. You agree to fully and carefully read all provided product information and labels and to contact a physician or pharmacist if you have any questions regarding the prescription. Pio Health fully honors patient freedom of choice and, if you receive a prescription for a medication, you always have the option to instruct your Provider to transmit that prescription to the pharmacy of your choice.

Not an Insurance Product

Pio Health is not an insurer. The Services are not insurance products, and the amounts you pay to Pio Health is not insurance premiums. If you desire any type of health or other insurance, you will need to purchase such insurance separately.

2. Availability of Services

Pio Health operates subject to state and federal regulations, and the Services may not be available in your state. You represent that you are not a person barred from enrolling for or receiving the Services under the laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdictions in which you may be located. Access to and use of the Site or the Services is limited exclusively to users located in States within the United States where the Services are available. Services are not available to users located outside the United States. Accessing the Site or Services from jurisdictions where content is illegal, or where we do not offer Services, is prohibited.

3. Ordering and Purchasing of Services

Subscriptions and Online Payments

Depending on the payment method available to and chosen by you, the fees for our services may be paid by your insurance company or by you directly through subscription fees. (Please contact us if you have questions about use of your insurance.) We charge a subscription fee for you to use and access the Site and its features, your subscription is continuous and will be automatically renewed at the end of the applicable subscription period, unless you cancel your subscription before the end of the then-current subscription period by sending us a message to ([email protected]). If you cancel your subscription, your account will automatically close at the end of your current billing period. Pio Health may change the price for your Pio Health subscription, from time to time and will communicate any price changes to you in advance and, if applicable, how to accept those changes. Price changes will take effect at the start of the next subscription period following the date of the price change. Subject to applicable law, you accept the new price by continuing to use the Pio Health Services after the price change takes effect. If you do not agree with a price change, you have the right to reject the change by unsubscribing from the Services prior to the price change going into effect.

To simplify the user experience on the Site, you are able to pay for Services via the Site with Pio  Health serving as payment processing agent on your behalf. We accept credit and debit cards issued by U.S. banks (your “payment method”). You and Pio Health agree that the payment method you submit may be used automatically by Pio Health and its payment processors for any of your responsibilities for payment. If a credit card account is being used for a transaction, Pio Health may obtain preapproval for an amount up to the amount of the payment. You agree to allow Pio Health’s third-party payment processor to securely store your payment method. Upon enrollment in our Services, all charges and fees will be billed to the payment method you designate during the setup process. You understand and acknowledge that Services may be cancelled or withheld if you revoke this authorization and that you are still responsible for all charges incurred by you or are otherwise owed to Pio Health. This authorization will remain in full force and effect until revoked by you or Pio Health. If you want to designate a different payment method or if there is a change in your payment method, you must change your information online. This may temporarily delay your ability to make online payments while we verify your new payment information.  

You represent and warrant that if you are making online payments that (a) any credit card, debit card and bank account information you supply is true, correct, and complete, (b) charges incurred by you will be honored by your credit/debit card company or bank, (c) you will pay the charges incurred by you in the amounts posted, including, without limitation, any applicable taxes, and (d) you are the person in whose name the card was issued and you are authorized to make a purchase or other transaction with the relevant credit card and credit card information. If Pio Health is unable to secure funds from the payment method you provide for any reason, including insufficient funds in the payment method or insufficient or inaccurate information provided by you when submitting electronic payment, Pio Health may undertake further collection action, including application of fees to the extent permitted by law. You acknowledge and agree that you will not dispute the charges from Pio Health or our third-party payment processor with the payment method company, provided the transactions correspond to the terms indicated in these Terms of Use.

17. Supplemental Terms Applicable to Providers

These supplemental terms apply to Providers in addition to the other provisions of these Terms of Use. In the event of a conflict between the supplemental terms and any other terms herein, the supplemental terms shall prevail.

To be a healthcare provider using the Site (for purposes of this Section 17, “Provider” or “you”) you must be a licensed physician, nurse practitioner, or healthcare professional contracted or employed by DrgMdicine / DrgMed, and must agree to comply with all laws, medical board rules, and other rules and regulations applicable to you as a Provider or otherwise. Your relationship with the Pio Health users (including, but not limited to your DrgMdicine / DrgMedl patients) is directly between you and the patient. The patient will never have a physician-patient relationship with Pio Health. Pio Health does not practice medicine and offers no medical services. As set forth more fully below, Provider is solely responsible for all agreements, consents, notices, and other interactions with patients and other consumers. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Provider and Pio Health are each responsible for all billings and collections from patients and other consumers, and Pio Health shall have no liability whatsoever to Provider with respect to any amounts owed by any patient or other consumer to Provider.

Pio Health does not provide any medical advice, legal advice, or representations in any way regarding any legal or medical issues associated with Provider, goods, or services offered by Provider, including but not limited to any compliance obligations or steps necessary to comply with any state or federal laws and regulations. Provider should seek legal counsel regarding any legal and compliance issues, and should not rely on any materials or content associated with the Services in determining Provider’s compliance obligations under law. Provider and Pio Health agree that Pio Health is not providing to customers, patients, or anyone else, medical advice or legal advice. THE PIO HEALTH SITE AND THE SERVICES ARE NOT MEANT TO SUBSTITUTE OR MODIFY YOUR PROFESSIONAL JUDGMENT IN ANY WAY.

Provider will use the Site and Services only in accordance with applicable standards of good medical practice. While software products such as the Site and Services can facilitate and improve the quality of service that Provider can offer patients, many factors, including but not limited to the provider/patient relationship can affect a patient outcome, and with intricate and interdependent technologies and complex decision-making it is often difficult or impossible to accurately determine what the factors were and in what proportion they affected an outcome. Provider shall be solely responsible for its use of the Site and Services, and the provision of medical services to Provider’s patients. In this regard, Provider releases Pio Health and waives any and all potential claims against Pio Health as a result of Provider’s use of the Site and Services, and the provision of services to Provider’s patients.

As a result of the complexities and uncertainties inherent in the patient care process, Provider agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Pio Health harmless from any claim by or on behalf of any patient of Provider, or by or on behalf of any other third party or person claiming damage by virtue of a familial or financial relationship with such a patient, which is brought against Pio Health, regardless of the cause if such claim arises for any reason whatsoever, out of Provider’s use or operation of the Site and Services. To the extent applicable, Provider will obtain Pio Health’s prior written consent to any settlement or judgment in which Provider agrees to any finding of fault of Pio Health or defect in the Site or Services. Pio Health will promptly notify Provider in writing of any claim subject to this indemnification, promptly provide Provider with the information reasonably required for the defense of the same, and grant to Provider exclusive control over its defense and settlement.

If you submit, upload, transmit, or post any consents, notices, advice, recommendations, comments, files, videos, images, or other materials to us or our Site (“Provider Content”) or provide any Provider Content to patients or other consumers, you agree not to provide any Provider Content that (a) is defamatory, abusive, libelous, unlawful, obscene, threatening, harassing, fraudulent, pornographic, or harmful, or that could encourage criminal or unethical behavior, (b) violates or infringes the privacy, copyright, trademark, trade dress, trade secrets, or intellectual property rights of any person or entity, or (c) contains or transmits a virus or any other harmful component. Provider is solely responsible for obtaining all necessary agreements and consents from, and providing all required notices to, patients and other consumers. You agree not to contact other users through unsolicited e-mail, telephone calls, mailings, or any other method of communication. You represent and warrant to Pio Health that you have the legal right and authorization to upload all Provider Content at the Site. Pio Health shall have a royalty-free, irrevocable, transferable right and license to use the Provider Content however Pio Health desires, including without limitation, to copy, modify, delete in its entirety, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from or sell or distribute such Provider Content or incorporate such Provider Content into any form, medium, or technology throughout the world. Pio Health is and shall be under no obligation: (i) to maintain any Provider Content in confidence; (ii) to pay to you any compensation for any Provider Content; or (iii) to respond to any Provider Content.

Pio Health does not regularly review Provider Content, but does reserve the right (but not the obligation) to monitor and edit or remove any Provider Content submitted to the Site. You grant Pio Health the right to use the name that you submit in connection with any Provider Content. You agree not to use a false email address, impersonate any person or entity, or otherwise mislead as to the origin of any Provider Content. You are and shall remain solely responsible for the content of any Provider Content you post to the Site or provide to patients or other consumers. Pio Health and its affiliates take no responsibility and assume no liability for any Provider Content submitted by you or any third party.

18. ARBITRATION REQUIREMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER – IMPORTANT – PLEASE REVIEW AS THIS MAY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. APPLICABLE TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

Mandatory Arbitration of Disputes. We each agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof or the use of the Services or Content (collectively, “Disputes”) will be resolved solely by binding, individual arbitration and not in a class, representative or consolidated action or proceeding. You and Pio Health agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act (or equivalent laws in the jurisdiction in which the Pio Health that you have contracted with is incorporated) governs the interpretation and enforcement of these Terms of Use and that you and Pio Health are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms.

Exceptions and Opt-out. As limited exceptions to the above:

You may seek to resolve a Dispute in small claims court if it qualifies; and

We each retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief from a court to prevent (or enjoin) the infringement or misappropriation of our respective intellectual property rights.

In addition, you will retain the right to opt out of arbitration entirely and litigate any Dispute if you provide us with written notice of your desire to do so by regular mail sent to the attention of Pio Health’s Legal Department at the Pio Health address set out below within 30 days following the date you first agree to these Terms of Use.

Initial Dispute Resolution and Notification. You agree that before initiating any Dispute or arbitration proceeding, we will attempt to negotiate an informal resolution of any dispute. To begin this process, before initiating any arbitration proceeding, you must send a Notice of Dispute (“Notice”) by certified mail to the attention of Pio Health’s Legal Department at the Pio Health address set out below. In the Notice, you must describe the nature and basis of the Dispute and the relief you are seeking. If we are unable to resolve the Dispute within 45 days after Pio Health’s receipt of the Notice, then you or Pio Health may initiate arbitration proceedings as set out below.

Conducting Arbitration and Arbitration Rules. Any arbitration will be conducted by the organization selected by Pio Health pursuant to its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “Organizations Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by these Terms. A party who wishes to start arbitration must submit a written Demand for Arbitration to the organization and give notice to the other party as specified in the Rules. This selected organization provides a form Demand for Arbitration and will appoint an arbitrator that is either

a retired federal or state court judge or an attorney who has been licensed to practice law in the state. The arbitration will be conducted by an in-person hearing, unless we both agree otherwise.

If the organization fails or declines to conduct the arbitration for any reason, we will mutually select a different arbitration administrator. If we cannot agree, a court will appoint a different arbitration administrator.

Any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or other municipality) where you live, unless we both agree to a different location. The parties agree that the arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to decide all issues relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability and scope of this arbitration agreement. During the arbitration, both you and Pio Health may take one deposition of the opposing party, limited to 4 hours. If we cannot agree on a time and location for a deposition, the arbitrator will resolve any scheduling disputes.

Arbitration Costs. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the organization’s Rules. If you assert a claim against Pio Health, you will be responsible for paying a $250 consumer filing fee. Pio Health will pay for all other filing, administration and arbitrator fees and expenses. If your Dispute is for less than U.S. $10,000 (including attorneys’ fees and costs) and the arbitrator, upon final disposition of the case, finds your Dispute was not frivolous, Pio Health will reimburse your initial filing fee. If we prevail in arbitration, we will pay all of our attorneys’ fees and costs and won’t seek to recover them from you. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses to the extent provided under applicable law.

Class Action Waiver. YOU AND PIO HEALTH AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, if the parties’ dispute is resolved through arbitration, neither the organization nor the arbitrator may consolidate another person’s claims with your claims or otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding for any purpose.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 24 “Revisions; General”, if Pio Health changes any of the terms of this Section 18 after the date you first accepted these Terms of Use (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms of Use), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Last Updated” date above or the date of Pio Health’s email to you notifying you of such change.
