Users 11 years of age and under may not use the Service directly and may only access it through a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by this Agreement. If you are a parent or legal guardian of a user under the age of 18 (or the age of legal majority), you agree to be fully responsible for the acts or omissions of such user in relation to the Service. Additionally, there are circumstances in which certain adult users of the Service may be eligible to use the Service to seek medical care for or on behalf of a Minor (as defined below). The terms and conditions governing the use of the Service by an adult to seek medical care for or on behalf of a Minor are set forth in Section 7 below concerning pediatric medical care. For purposes of this Agreement and all uses of the Service and, a “Minor” is a person that is under 18 years of age (or the age of legal majority where the Minor lives). A minor aged 12-17 may use the Service under the supervision and with the consent of a parent or legal guardian, and Transcarent may restrict parental access to certain categories of sensitive health information in accordance with the applicable law. Transcarent reserves the right to request proof of age at any point so that it can verify that Minors are not using the Service without supervision by an authorized adult. If Transcarent believes that a Minor is using the Service without adult supervision, it may block the Minor from using the Service. 

If applicable, the aforementioned requirements will also govern your receipt of Healthcare Services from the Care Providers. If you are not eligible, or do not agree to the Terms, PLEASE DO NOT ACCESS, BROWSE, OR USE THE SERVICE OR HEALTHCARE SERVICES.

2. Your Relationship with Transcarent 

 

Your Relationship with Transcarent. Transcarent’s Service provides you with access to information about your health and care options, a platform to find and consult with health care practitioners, and assistance with utilizing the health and care benefits available to you, in order to support you as you make your health and care decisions and make it easy for you to access the care you need. The health and wellness resources made available through our Service are for informational purposes only and are not a substitute for direct health care services. You are responsible for confirming the accuracy of information you access via the Service, and we encourage you to speak with qualified health care professionals before deciding on any course of action. The decision to focus on diagnosis, treatment recommendations, or both rests with you and your health care practitioner. You understand that by coordinating and in certain cases consulting with a health care practitioner through the Service, you are not entering into a doctor-patient relationship with Transcarent. 

 

Information and tools made available through the Services are for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment; Transcarent makes no representation or warranty as to the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of such information, which is provided “AS IS” and “WITH ALL FAULTS”; and by submitting information through the Services, you grant Transcarent and its affiliates a limited right to use that information for purposes of operating and improving the Services, subject to our Privacy Notice and applicable law. 

 

  1. No Emergency Services. The Service should not be used during a medical emergency. If you have a medical emergency, call 911 or proceed to your nearest Emergency Room immediately. The Service is not intended to support or carry messages to any emergency services, including any such emergency services that may otherwise accept instant messages. You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to ensure that you have an alternate means to send and receive emergency messages and to contact emergency services. You should not delay seeking professional medical care if your symptoms or condition worsens, or if you need immediate medical attention. Notwithstanding, if a Transcarent representative reasonably suspects that you may be experiencing a health emergency, or may be a danger to yourself or another person, Transcarent reserves the right, and you expressly agree, that Transcarent may contact the appropriate emergency services, including calling 911, contacting child protection services, a suicide hotline, or other appropriate service. 
  2. No Practice of Medicine; No Licensed Services. Transcarent does not practice medicine or any other licensed profession, except as otherwise expressly articulated in these Terms with respect to its affiliated professional entities. Transcarent’s services enable coordination with health care practitioners, and in certain circumstances, direct communication with health care practitioners, but Transcarent’s services do not replace any relationship with any health care practitioner or service, and Transcarent itself does not directly or indirectly provide medical or health advice, care, diagnosis, or treatment. Nothing in this Section limits or alters the provision of medical or clinical services by Transcarent’s affiliated professional entities, including PlushCare, Inc. which provide licensed medical services under applicable state law. All health care practitioners you are connected to through Transcarent, including those from the Care Providers practice independently of Transcarent. Each health care practitioner is responsible for their professional service and compliance with the requirements applicable to their profession and license. You hereby agree and acknowledge that Transcarent is in no way acting as a medical provider with respect to any person. You further acknowledge and agree that the treatments, procedures, workflow, information, medications, processes, products, and other items referenced by Transcarent or the service are not intended as a recommendation or endorsement of any course of treatment, procedure, information, product, health care practitioner, or medication and that the ultimate responsibility for diagnosing and treatment of any patient using the service rests with the health care practitioners treating such patient. 
  3. No Insurance, Indemnity, Payment, Guaranty or Underwriting of Health Care Benefits. You hereby agree and acknowledge that Transcarent is in no way acting as an insurer, indemnitor, payor, designer, guarantor or underwriter of health care benefits. Transcarent does not collect revenue through premium payments, does not process claims or appeals, and does not pay provider claims using collected premiums. Transcarent is not an insurer or third-party administrator. Transcarent is not responsible for determining whether any service is covered under any plan, or for making eligibility or coverage determinations with respect to any customer, member or plan. Compliance with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 is the sole responsibility of the customer (including compliance with Section 406(a) thereof). Transcarent does not exercise discretion or control over and does not represent any customer or plan, or either of their respective assets, policies, payments, interpretations, practices or procedures. 
  4. No Maintenance of Medical Records. You agree not to submit medical records to Transcarent for management, storage, or sharing purposes. Transcarent does not maintain medical records on your behalf as its primary business function, although we may receive medical records as permitted by law to allow us to facilitate access to health care services. Nothing in this Section limits or alters the provision of medical or clinical services by Transcarent’s affiliated professional entities, including PlushCare, Inc., or Accolade Care, which maintain medical records in accordance with applicable law and professional standards. You agree and acknowledge that medical records are to be maintained by the Care Providers and, in some circumstances, by you or your health care agent. As described in our Privacy Notice, Transcarent may receive or transmit certain medical records to facilitate access to healthcare services.  
  5.  No Control Over Practitioners. Transcarent is designed to be a single source of health and care information to maximize the benefits you receive from your health plan. However, Transcarent, Inc. itself does not practice medicine and does not control or operate independent, unaffiliated Care Providers. Licensed clinical services are provided exclusively through affiliated professional entities, including PlushCare, Inc. and Accolade Care, each of which is solely responsible for the medical services delivered by its practitioners. Any opinions, advice, or information expressed by a health care facility, practitioner, professional, or specialist using or accessible through the Service are those of the facility, practitioner, professional, or specialist alone. Transcarent does not recommend or endorse any specific tests, products, procedures, medications, devices, or opinions that are made available to you through the Service. You agree that the opinions expressed by any health care practitioner you access through the service are not those of Transcarent and will not be used in any legal dispute against Transcarent, including but not limited to litigation, arbitration, claim for disability benefits, claim for worker’s compensation, and/or malpractice claims.

Transcarent uses proprietary data and data from trusted third-party sources in an effort to provide you with accurate and up-to-date information to assist you in making your health and care decisions. However, SUCH INFORMATION IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS-IS” “WHERE IS” AND “WITH ALL FAULTS” BASIS, AND TRANSCARENT DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Transcarent does not make any representations or warranties about the training or skill of any health care providers who provide services via the Services, and you are ultimately responsible for choosing your particular health care provider in every instance. Transcarent shall in no event be liable to you or to anyone for any decision made or action taken by any party in reliance on information about health care practitioners obtained through the Service. Your reliance on any information provided through the Service is solely at your own risk. The Service may not be used by any entity or individual to verify the credentials of health care practitioners.

  7.  Non-Discrimination. You acknowledge and agree that the Service and any incentives you may become eligible to receive in connection therewith from time to time are intended to provide value-based incentives as part of a value-based insurance design program, and in no event will you be eligible to receive any of such services or incentives in a manner inconsistent with HIPAA’s prohibition against discrimination based on a health factor. 
  8.  No Duty to Monitor Communications. By accepting these Terms, you understand that your health care practitioner may send you messages, reports, and emails via the Service regarding the treatment of your condition or in response to your inquiry. We do not and are not responsible for monitoring these messages, reports, and emails for you. 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 messages from your health care practitioner. 
  9. Risks of Telehealth and Other Consultative Services. If the Care Providers or your independent health care practitioner uses the Service or Healthcare Services to provide advice or treatment to you, they may not have the benefit of information that would be obtained by examining you in person and/or observing your physical condition. Therefore, your health care practitioner may not be aware of facts or information that would affect their opinion of your diagnosis or treatment. We encourage you to discuss these limitations with your health care practitioner if you have concerns. By deciding to engage the Service and Healthcare Services, you acknowledge and agree that you are aware and agree to assume the risk of these limitations. Furthermore, you agree and accept that: (i) any diagnosis you may receive from your health care practitioner through the Service or Healthcare Services is limited and, in some cases, provisional; (ii) any opinions you may receive from your health care practitioner through the Service are not intended to replace a full medical evaluation or an in-person visit with your health care practitioner; (iii) a health care practitioner acting through the Service or Healthcare Services may not have important information that is usually obtained through an in-person physical examination; and (iv) the absence of an in-person physical examination may affect the health care practitioner’s ability to diagnose your condition, disease or injury through the Service or Healthcare Services. Other potential risks associated with the use of virtual encounters for advice and treatment include, without limitation, the following: 
    1. Delays in medical evaluation and consultation or treatment due to deficiencies or failures of the equipment or internet connection; 
    2. Failure of security protocols that may lead to a breach of privacy of protected health information; and 
    3. Lack of access to information resulting in adverse health outcomes. 
  10. Accounts and Registration. To access most features of the Service and Healthcare Services, you must register for an account. When you register for an account, you will be required to provide us with information about yourself, so that we can verify your identity. If you are a parent or guardian with children who are covered by your health plan and want your children to participate in the Service or Healthcare Services, you will need to register them, and after doing so, may be able to access certain limited aspects of the Service on behalf of your child. You agree to provide us with accurate information when you register for an account and to keep your information accurate and up to date at all times. When you register, you will be asked to create a password. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password, and you accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account. If you believe that your account is no longer secure, then you must immediately notify us at security@transcarent.com.

(iii) Membership Fees. PlushCare may charge a membership fee (“Membership Fee”) for access to certain features of the Service. The Membership Fee covers non-medical features (e.g., navigation support, digital tools, lifestyle offerings). PAYMENT OF THE MEMBERSHIP FEE TO PLUSHCARE IS NOT A REQUIREMENT TO RECEIVE MEDICAL SERVICES AT PLUSHCARE.

YOU CAN CANCEL YOUR MEMBERSHIP AT ANY TIME BY CONTACTING INFO@PLUSHCARE.COM. Refunds or pro rata refunds will be provided as required by law or as otherwise stated in your account. 

 

PlushCare reserves the right to modify the Membership Fee or applicable billing structure at any time. Any change in Membership Fee will become effective at the start of your next billing cycle following notice provided by email, in-app message, or other reasonable means. Continued use of the Services after the effective date of a fee change constitutes your acceptance of the new Membership Fee. If you do not agree to a fee change, you may cancel your membership prior to the renewal date. 

 

(iv) Prescription Delivery Options. PlushCare Providers may issue prescriptions in accordance with professional judgment and applicable law. We do not prescribe DEA-controlled substances.

(v) Service Use Termination. You may terminate your use of the PlushCare Services at any time by contacting us. If you cancel a paid membership, it will remain active until the end of the current term, and no renewal will occur. If we terminate for breach, no refunds will be issued; if we terminate for reasons other than your breach, you will receive a pro rata refund of fees paid. 

(vi) Disclaimers Regarding the Service. THE PLUSHCARE SERVICE IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE IN A MEDICAL EMERGENCY OR URGENT HEALTHCARE NEED. CALL 911 OR SEEK EMERGENCY CARE IMMEDIATELY. The PlushCare Service is not a replacement for your primary care physician or annual office check-ups. The PlushCare Service is not an online pharmacy, and Providers do not prescribe drugs listed as controlled substances. PlushCare does not guarantee that a specific medication will be prescribed if requested. 

15. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration 

 

THIS SECTION 15 OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE REFERRED TO AS THE "ARBITRATION AGREEMENT." 

  1. Parties.   
    1. “Company” includes Transcarent, Inc. and its affiliated entities, including Accolade, Inc., Accolade 2ndMD LLC d/b/a 2nd.MD, and PlushCare, Inc., any Care Providers, and any governing board, officers, directors, members, shareholders, executive team, employees, managers, agents, and any parent company, subsidiary, or affiliates, any person or entity alleged to be responsible for the Company’s activities, and any of their successors or assigns. 
    2. “You” or “Patient” shall mean an individual who receives Healthcare Services from a Care Provider, or any individual who has any interaction with the Company and is bound by the terms and conditions. Patient includes the Patient, the Patient’s Representative, the Patient’s guardian, attorney-in-fact, agent, sponsor, or any person whose claim is derived through or on behalf of the Patient, including any spouse, child, parent, executor, administrator, personal representative, heir, or survivor, as well as anyone entitled to bring a wrongful death claim relating to the Patient.  The Patient, if not a signatory, is an intended third-party beneficiary of this arbitration clause and the Terms. 
  2. Voluntary Agreement to Arbitration. By accepting the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, You and the Company (collectively, "Parties") agree that every dispute, claim, or controversy (except those specifically exempted below) arising out of, in connection with or relating to: (i) these Terms and prior versions of these Terms, or concerning the existence, applicability, breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, scope, waiver, or validity thereof; (ii) the use of the Services or HealthCare Services; and (iii) any dispute to alleged medical malpractice—that is, whether any medical services or Healthcare Services rendered by Company or any affiliated Care Provider were unnecessary, unauthorized, or were improperly, negligently, or incompetently rendered or omitted (collective, “Disputes”) will be resolved on an individual basis by final and binding arbitration. This Arbitration Agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms. To promote efficiency, all claims arising from the same or related transactions must be brought in a single arbitration, unless prohibited by law. The type of award requested (e.g., treble damages, punitive damages or attorneys’ fees) shall not affect whether a dispute is subject to arbitration under this Agreement. ANY DISPUTES BETWEEN THE PARTIES WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND COMPANY ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY COURT OR PROCEEDING OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.  
  3. Federal Arbitration Act Applies. Any arbitration between You and Company will be settled under the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1 ET SEQ.) and administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, “AAA Rules”) as modified by these Terms. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting the Company.  
  4. Notice of Arbitration; Process. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if that other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail (“Notice of Arbitration”). Company’s address for Notice is: Transcarent, Inc., 4700 S. Syracuse Street, Suite 900, Denver, Colorado 80237. The Notice of Arbitration must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly through informal means, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 60 days after the Notice of Arbitration is received, You or Company may commence an arbitration proceeding. All arbitration proceedings between the parties will be confidential unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by You or Company must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. If any party refuses to participate or otherwise fails to respond to a Demand after proper notice, the arbitrator may proceed ex parte and issue an award. 
  5. Selection of Arbitrator.  The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding Arbitration Agreement. The arbitrator shall be a retired state or federal judge, or an attorney licensed in any U.S. jurisdiction with at least ten (10) years of experience in consumer, healthcare, privacy or commercial matters.  The parties will cooperate in good faith to select an arbitrator; if they cannot agree, the AAA shall appoint a qualified arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have authority to permit motions to dismiss for summary judgment, applying standards consistent with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.   
  6. Fees and Venue. Each party will pay the fees for its own attorneys, subject to any remedies to which that party may later be entitled under applicable law. In all cases where required by law, the Company will pay the arbitrator's and arbitration fees. If under applicable law the Company is not required to pay all of the arbitrator's and/or arbitration fees, such fee(s) will be apportioned between the Parties in accordance with said applicable law. Any disputes regarding whether the Company is required to pay the arbitrator's and arbitration fees and/or how those fees are to be apportioned between the Parties will be resolved by the arbitrator. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.  If the parties cannot otherwise agree on a location for the arbitration, the arbitration shall take place in Denver County, Colorado. 
  7. Class, Collective, and Other Representative Action Waivers ("Class Action Waiver"). You and the Company mutually agree that by entering into this Arbitration Agreement, both waive their right to have any dispute, claim, or controversy brought, heard or arbitrated as a class, collective, and/or other representative action to the maximum extent permitted by law, and an arbitrator will not have any authority to hear or arbitrate any such class, collective, or other representative action. You also waive your right to receive notice of any class, collective, or other representative action that may be filed. Notwithstanding any other clause contained in this Arbitration Agreement or the AAA Consumer Rules, as defined above and incorporated herein by reference, any claim that all or part of this Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, unconscionable, void or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. IF A COURT DETERMINES THAT THIS CLASS ACTION WAIVER IS UNEFORCEABLE WITH RESPECT TO ANY PARTICULAR CLAIM OR REQUEST FOR RELIEF, THEN THAT CLAIM OR REQUEST FOR RELIEF (AND ONLY THAT CLAIM OR RELIEF) MUST BE LITIGATED IN A CIVIL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION, AND ANY REMAINING CLAIMS SHALL BE RESOLVED IN ARBITRATION. THIS CLASS ACTION WAIVER IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CANNOT BE SEVERED EXCEPT AS PROVIDED ABOVE.   
  8. Modifications to this Arbitration Provision. If Transcarent makes any future change to this arbitration provision, other than a change to Transcarent’s address for Notice of Arbitration, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to Transcarent’s address for Notice of Arbitration. 
  9. Mass Arbitration. To the extent permitted by applicable law, to increase efficiency of resolution, if 25 or more similar arbitration demands are filed by or with the same law firm, organization, or coordinated group of attorneys against Company, the Parties agree that such demands shall be administered in batches of up to 100 claims per batch. Each batch shall be treated as a single case for purposes of administrative and filing fees, and a single arbitrator shall be assigned to each batch. The Parties shall cooperate in good faith with the arbitration provider to implement this batching process. Any dispute regarding the application of this provision shall be decided by a single arbitrator. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, batch arbitrations shall take place in Denver, Colorado.  
  10. Exceptions. Nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through an applicable federal, state, or local agency if that enforcement action is available through such agency; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law in aid of arbitration; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any statutory or administrative agency claims that may not be subject to mandatory arbitration under applicable law shall proceed in such forum. 
  11. Opt-Out. If you do not wish to resolve disputes by binding arbitration, you may opt out of the provisions of this section within 30 days after the date that you agree to these Terms by sending a letter to Transcarent, Inc., Attention: Legal Department – Arbitration Opt-Out, 4700 S. Syracuse Street, Suite 900, Denver, Colorado 80237 that specifies: your full legal name, the email address associated with your account on the Service, and a statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration (“Opt-Out Notice”). Once Transcarent receives your Opt-Out Notice, this section will be void and any action arising out of these Terms will be resolved as set forth in the section below labeled “Miscellaneous.” The remaining provisions of these Terms will not be affected by your Opt-Out Notice. You may also submit your Opt-Out Notice by certified mail or nationally recognized overnight courier; email alone is not sufficient.  Should you not opt out of this Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver within the 30-day period, You and Company shall be bound by the terms of this Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver. You have the right to consult with counsel of your choice concerning this Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver. 
  12. SeverabilityThe Parties agree that the only essential term to this Agreement is the agreement and willingness of both parties to arbitrate.  Accordingly, if any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.   
  13. Survival. THIS DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION SECTION WILL SURVIVE TERMINATION OF THESE TERMS AND YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH COMPANY.

The failure to require performance of any provision in any one instance will not affect our right to require performance at any other time after that, nor will a waiver by us of any breach or default of these Terms, or any provision of these Terms, in any one instance be a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or a waiver of the provision itself.
