YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH BOSTON MEDICAL GROUP
Boston Medical Group provides a platform for you to consult with a health care provider affiliated with Boston Medical Group or similar affiliated professional entity and obtain access to additional information, which you may or may not choose to utilize in planning your health care and wellness. The health and wellness resources made available through our Service are not a substitute for direct in-person health care services in all cases. The decision to focus on diagnosis, treatment recommendations, or both rests with you and the health care provider. You understand that by coordinating and in certain cases consulting with Boston Medical Group or affiliate health care provider through the Service, you are not entering into a provider-patient relationship with Boston Medical Group.
By accepting the Terms of Use, you understand that a health care provider may send you messages, reports, and emails via the Service regarding the treatment of your condition or in response to your inquiry. It is your responsibility to monitor these messages, reports, and emails. You agree that you will not hold us liable for any loss, injury, or claims of any kind resulting from your failure to read these messages or for your failure to comply with any treatment recommendations contained in these messages.
CONSULTATIVE SERVICE
In some cases, Boston Medical Group or affiliated health care provider may use the Service to provide advice or treatment to you. A healthcare provider consulting with you through the Service may not have the benefit of information that would be obtained by examining you in person and observing your physical condition, in each instance. Therefore, the health care provider may not be aware of facts or information that would affect his or her opinion of your diagnosis. To reduce the risk to you of this limitation, Boston Medical Group strongly encourages you to provide all relevant information and discuss all diagnosis and treatment options with a health care provider. Moreover, a health care provider utilizing Boston Medical Group may be limited by state law in prescribing certain medications to you without first conducting an in-person physical examination. By deciding to engage the Services, you acknowledge and agree that you are aware of these limitations and agree to assume the risk of these limitations. Furthermore, you agree and accept that: (i) the diagnosis you will receive is limited and, in some cases, provisional; (ii) the health care services are not intended, in all cases, to replace a full medical evaluation or an in-person visit with a health care provider; (iii) a health care provider acting through the Service may not have important information that is usually obtained through a “hands-on” physical examination; and (iv) the absence of a physical examination may affect the health care provider’s ability to diagnose your condition, disease or injury.
