TELYRX, INC.
CONSENT TO TELEHEALTH
Effective Date: February 17, 2025
TelyRx, Inc. and our subsidiaries and affiliates (“TelyRx,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) provide websites, applications, and/or services that enable online visits with independent, licensed health care professionals (each a “Provider”) and mail-order pharmacy services for prescribed medications (collectively, the “Services”).
These Services constitute telehealth, a form of health care delivery using electronic communication between a patient and a Provider who are not in the same physical location. Telehealth may include, but is not limited to:
• Electronic transmission of medical records, images, personal health information, and other data.
• Virtual consultations via audio, video, and/or asynchronous communication (such as secure messaging and email).
• Use of remote monitoring devices, medical equipment, and video/audio files.
TelyRx employs industry-standard security protocols to protect the privacy, security, and integrity of your health information when using the Services.
POTENTIAL BENEFITS OF TELEHEALTH
• Convenient access to medical care from the comfort of your home.
• Reduced costs compared to in-office visits.
• Increased flexibility in scheduling medical consultations.
• Access to Providers regardless of your geographic location.
POSSIBLE LIMITATIONS & RISKS OF TELEHEALTH
While telehealth offers advantages, it has limitations:
• Insufficient Information for Diagnosis – Your Provider may lack sufficient data to make a complete medical decision, requiring an in-person evaluation.
• Limited Physical Examination – Certain assessments, tests, or vital sign monitoring may be unavailable through telehealth.
• Technology Risks – Interruptions due to network failures, software malfunctions, or device errors may disrupt or delay medical care.
• Data Privacy Risks – Despite security measures, electronic data transmission carries a risk of unauthorized access or breaches.
• State-Specific Restrictions – Certain treatments, prescriptions, and medical advice may be restricted or unavailable in some states.
