Telehealth Services Terms

Amwell may provide access to telemedicine or other telehealth services (“Telehealth Services”).

The Telehealth Services are intended for use by residents of the United States. We do not intentionally provide access to the Telehealth Services to individuals located outside the United States.

A.1. Important information about your use of the Telehealth Services

Amwell does not provide any physicians’ or other healthcare providers’ (collectively, “Providers”) services itself. All of the Providers are independent of Amwell and using the Services solely to communicate with you. Any information or advice received from a Provider comes from the Provider, and not from Amwell. Your interactions with the Providers via the Services are not intended to take the place of your relationship(s) with your regular health care practitioner(s).

Amwell does not make any representations or warranties about the training or skill of any Providers using the Services. You are ultimately responsible for choosing your particular Provider on the Services.

You hereby certify that you are physically located in the State or other jurisdiction you have entered as your current location on the Services. You acknowledge that your ability to access and use the Services is conditioned upon the truthfulness of this certification and that the Providers you access through the Services are relying upon this certification in order to interact with you. IN THE EVENT THAT YOUR CERTIFICATION IS INACCURATE, YOU AGREE TO INDEMNIFY AMWELL AND THE PROVIDERS YOU INTERACT WITH FROM ANY RESULTING DAMAGES, COSTS, OR CLAIMS.

You hereby certify that you are not a fee-for-service Medicare or Medicaid beneficiary. If you provide false or deceptive information regarding your Medicare or Medicaid enrollment status, Amwell reserves the right to terminate all current or future use of the Services by you.

A.2. Account enrollment

You represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years of age and that you possess the legal right and ability, on behalf of yourself or a minor child of whom you are a parent or person of whom you are a legal guardian, to agree to these Terms.

Where you establish a subaccount on behalf of a minor child of whom you are a parent or persons of whom you are a legal guardian, you acknowledge and agree that your child’s or ward’s healthcare information including communications with providers may be made available to your child’s or ward’s other parent(s) or legal guardian(s).

To the extent that you are the proxy to a dependent minor and they have or will transition from a dependent minor to an adult/an emancipated minor or you live in a state where a dependent minor’s consent is required, you hereby agree to provide them with notice that their continued use of the Services under your patient account constitutes their consent to grant you with access to their medical records via the Services. In accordance with applicable state law, we reserve the right to honor any such request we receive from a dependent minor should they choose to discontinue sharing their records. Dependent minors may terminate their proxy’s access to medical records by reaching out to our Customer Support team. From the U.S. call 888-982-7956.

If you are an emancipated minor seeking care, please reach out to our Customer Support team. From the U.S. call 888-982-7956. Emancipated minors or a minor in need of confidential medical treatment, you are advised to seek in person care rather than a telehealth consultation.

A.3. Payment authorization

If you are required to pay for your use of the Services, then these payment authorization terms apply.

By providing a credit card or other payment method accepted by Amwell ("Payment Method"), you are expressly agreeing that we are authorized to charge to the Payment Method any fees for your use of the Services, together with any applicable taxes. Please note that Amwell may not receive complete information from your health insurance plan, if applicable, regarding the applicable co-pay (or excess payment) due from you for your consultation. As such, you may be billed more than once with respect to a consultation to account for additional amounts due, if any. If you choose not to enter your health plan billing details, you are electing to be seen as self-pay, thereby waiving health plan claim submission.

You agree that authorization to charge your Payment Method remains in effect until you cancel it in writing, and you agree to notify Amwell of any changes to your Payment Method. You certify that you are an authorized user of the Payment Method and will not dispute charges for the Services that correspond to consultation fees or the co-payment required by your health plan.

You acknowledge and agree that fees for consultations may increase at any time.

You acknowledge that the origination of ACH transactions (or SEPA, BACS, or similar transactions) to your account must comply with applicable provisions of law. In the case of a transaction rejected for insufficient funds, Amwell may at its discretion attempt to process the charge again at any time within 30 days.

A.4. Consent to services

In addition to the consent given in Section 8 “Consent to services” above, by clicking the "AGREE" button you are authorizing Providers to release your contact information to Amwell solely in order for Amwell to provide you with information about additional clinical services or general wellness. You may opt out of receiving such information by contacting us at privacy@amwell.com.

You may download a copy of your medical records directly from the platform or by contacting our Customer Support team at customer.support@amwell.com or, in the U.S., 1-800-317-5656.

A.5. Consent for treatment performed

We are providing this information on behalf of Providers:

Telemedicine involves the use of communications to enable health care providers at sites remote from patients to provide consultative services. Providers may include primary care practitioners, specialists, and/or subspecialists. The information may be used for diagnosis, therapy, follow-up and/or education, and may include live two-way audio and video and other materials (e.g., medical records, data from medical devices).

The communications systems used will incorporate reasonable security protocols to protect the confidentiality of patient information and will include reasonable measures to safeguard the data and to ensure its integrity against intentional or unintentional corruption. At the end of each encounter, the patient will be provided an encounter summary, which may be kept for the patient's records and may be shared with the patient's local primary care or other provider, as appropriate.

Anticipated Benefits of Telemedicine

Possible Risks of Telemedicine

As with any medical procedure, there are potential risks associated with the use of telemedicine. Provider believes that the likelihood of these risks materializing is very low. These risks may include, without limitation, the following:

By accepting these Terms, you acknowledge that you understand and agree with the following:

  1. I understand that the laws that protect privacy and the confidentiality of medical information also apply to telemedicine; I have received the HIPAA Notice which explains these issues in greater detail.
  2. I understand that telemedicine may involve electronic communication of my personal medical information to medical practitioners who may be located in other jurisdictions, including out of state.
  3. I understand that I may expect the anticipated benefits from the use of telemedicine in my care, but that no results can be guaranteed or assured.
  4. I understand that my healthcare information may be shared with others (including health care providers and health insurers) for treatment, payment, and healthcare operations purposes. Psychotherapy notes may be maintained by clinicians but are not shared with others, while billing codes and encounter summaries are shared with others and with me. If I obtain psychotherapy from Provider, I understand that my therapist has the right to limit the information provided to me if in my therapist's professional judgment sharing the information with me would be harmful to me.
  5. Where I use telemedicine on behalf of a minor child of whom I am a parent or legal guardian, I understand that my child’s healthcare information including communications with providers may be made available to my child’s other parent(s) or legal guardian(s).
  6. I further understand that my healthcare information may be shared in the following circumstances:

a. When a valid court order is issued for medical records.

b. Reporting suspected abuse, neglect, or domestic violence.

c. Preventing or reducing a serious threat to anyone's health or safety.

Patient Consent to the Use of Telemedicine

I have read and understand the information provided above, and understand the risks and benefits of telemedicine, and by accepting these Terms I hereby give my informed consent to participate in a telemedicine visit under the terms described herein.

Automated Care Services Terms

Amwell may provide you products and services currently marketed as Automated Care (“Automated Care Services”).

Automated Care Services are provided by an automated system and not by a human. The system may be classified as an AI or chatbot under applicable law.

B.1. Access To And Use Of Information From Your Chat Sessions

Please note – The information you provide during your chat sessions and/or information about your use of the chat sessions will be provided to the Customer or Covered Entity that makes the Automated Care Services available to you. (“Covered Entity” has the meaning set forth in HIPAA at 45 CFR 160.103.)

On the basis of that information, the Customer may contact you and/or make decisions about you. Depending on your relationship with the Customer, these decisions could affect you in different ways. For example, if the Customer is your healthcare provider, the information you provide through the Services could affect your healthcare provider’s decisions or recommendations about your medical care.

B.2 Use of Automated Care Services

You may use the Automated Care Services only if you are authorized to use the Automated Care Services by the Customer, you are legally competent, and you are legally authorized to enter into these Terms. You must also be 16 years of age or older to enter into these Terms. If you are younger than 16 years old, your Personal Representative (usually your parent or guardian) must enter into these Terms on your behalf. (“Personal Representative” has the meaning set forth in HIPAA at 45 CFR 164.502, regardless of whether HIPAA applies to your situation.)

The Services are intended for residents of the United States. If you are not a U.S. resident and you register or submit personal information through the Services, you agree that we may collect, use, store, and disclose that information in the U.S. or any other country outside your country of residence. You understand that data protection laws outside of your jurisdiction may not be as protective as those in your jurisdiction. By providing your information to Amwell, you are consenting to the international transfer and processing of your information for the purposes explained in these Terms, the Privacy Policy, or elsewhere in the Services.

The above paragraph does not apply where the Services are explicitly provided to residents of a country other than the United States.

SilverCloud Services Terms

Amwell may provide Services through its products and solutions currently marketed as SilverCloud® by Amwell (“SilverCloud Services”).
