You also confirm that you will provide accurate and comprehensive information to the best of your understanding.

Purpose:

The purpose of this Consent form (“Consent”) is to provide you with information about telehealth and to obtain your informed consent to the use of telehealth in the delivery of healthcare services to you by affiliate physicians ("Providers") using the online platforms owned and operated by Tastermonial, Inc..

Terms:

All capitalized terms used in this Telehealth Consent but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Terms of Service. For the avoidance of any doubt, the terms "Tastermonial," "we," "us," or "our" refer to Tastermonial, Inc., and the terms "you" and "yours" refer to the person using the Service.

Nature of Telehealth Services:

This Telehealth Consent is strictly between you and the Providers (although Tastermonial is a third-party beneficiary of certain releases).

Telemedicine is the use of electronic communications to enable healthcare providers at different locations to share individual patient medical information to improve patient care. The information may be used to determine eligibility for a prescription and, where indicated, to provide such prescription.

Possible Benefits of Telehealth

• Improved access to medical care;
• More efficient medical evaluation and management;
• Possibility of selecting a convenient time and location for appointments.

Possible Risks of Telehealth

There are potential risks associated with the use of telehealth. These risks include, but may not be limited to:

• Insufficient information transmitted for appropriate medical decision-making by the provider;
• Provider may not be able to treat your specific conditions;
• Regulatory limitations on treatment options, including prescriptions;
• Delays in evaluation and treatment due to technology deficiencies or failures;
• Security protocol failures resulting in privacy breaches of personal medical information.

Tastermonial will securely share the data from the Medical Consult questionnaire with a Provider to review and determine your eligibility for a CGM prescription.

Confidentiality:

We prioritize your privacy and maintain the confidentiality of your medical information in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable law. However, please note that the security of electronic communication cannot be guaranteed, and there are risks associated with the transmission of data.
