MyMenopauseRx is a virtual doctor's office devoted to menopause care.

Medical Team

MyMenopauseRx LLC is a telemedicine platform that enables the MyMenopauseRx Medical Group to provide healthcare services virtually. The MyMenopauseRx Medical Group is a dedicated medical team, referred to as “Clinicians or Practitioners,” that includes licensed physicians, nurse practitioners, medical assistants, and ancillary support staff who specialize in menopause care following the guidelines of The Menopause Society, The International Menopause Society, and The American College of Obstetrians and Gynecologist. All clinicians are members of The Menopause Society and are either Menopause Society Certified Practitioners or actively working towards certification. The MyMenopauseRx Medical Group is not a functional medicine practice and does not practice “functional medicine”.

Visits

As a new patient to the MyMenopauseRx Medical Group virtual practice, I understand I will have my new patient medical visit/consultation conducted via live audio/video technology using HIPAA-compliant Zoom. I understand I will have the ability to schedule and complete all follow-up visits/consultations via live audio/video and some visits using asynchronous (message visit) technology. I will use the secure clinical messaging for questions outside of a scheduled medical visit/consultation that is available to me on my patient dashboard for the duration of my maintaining being an active patient of the MyMenopauseRx virtual medical practice.

I understand and agree that telemedicine involves the use of audio, video or other electronic communications to interact with me and/or review my medical information for the purpose of diagnosis, treatment, follow-up and /or education related to menopause and it’s related health conditions. I understand ancillary health care professionals (i.e. nursing or medical assistants) may participate in the MyMenopauseRx telehealth service under the supervision of the clinician.

I understand one of the benefits of the MyMenopauseRx virtual doctor's office is having access to OB/GYNs, menopause specialists and additional medical information/education without having to travel outside of my local healthcare community. However, I understand there are limitations of the MyMenopauseRX model of care via telehealth and the risks and benefits of any proposed treatment plan.

I understand that by using a virtual doctor's office to treat my menopause symptoms and other health-related conditions, the clinician won't have the opportunity to conduct a detailed in-person physical examination. I understand this is an important difference between MyMenopauseRX and traditional gynecologic healthcare.

I understand there is a risk that an alternative and potentially life-threatening cause of my symptoms (such as cancer, infection, stroke, thyroid problems, etc) could be missed with a virtual model of care. A delay in diagnosing and treating the true cause of my menopause symptoms could occur and I may take prescription medicines unnecessarily thus exposing myself to the risks of taking those medicines. I understand the clinician will rely on my self-reported medical history, menopause questionnaire, and discussion over live video or messaging to help rule out alternative causes of my menopause symptoms or health concerns. If I do not provide accurate information, I understand the clinician may misdiagnose my symptoms and offer treatment that was unnecessary, potentially delaying a diagnosis or exposing me to treatment that I did not need. I understand that by using MyMenopauseRx, I accept the responsibility to provide full and truthful answers to all questions asked. I understand that even if I provide information that is true and complete, I'm still at risk of adverse events from any treatment that the clinician prescribes. I understand that the clinician is unable to independently verify the information that I provide.

Privacy

I understand my video visit will not be recorded. If people are close to me during my video visit, they may hear something I did not want them to know. I understand MyMenopauseRx recommends I be in a private place, so other people cannot hear me or read my messages. MyMenopauseRx uses telehealth technology that is designed to protect my privacy. If I use the Internet for telehealth, I understand it is recommended I use a network that is private and secure. While MyMenopauseRx employs the latest industry standards to run their telehealth platform, I understand technical problems may interrupt or stop my visit before my visit is complete.

I understand that although MyMenopauseRx implements a wide range of administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to protect my health information, in rare circumstances, security protocols could fail or be hacked, causing a breach of my patient privacy. For these reasons, MyMenopauseRx cannot guarantee the privacy and confidentiality of my health information.

Requirements for Care

I understand that I should not use MyMenopauseRx for the healthcare of my menopause symptoms if I am younger than age 35. I am willing to use shared decision-making with my clinician, ensuring the benefits of my treatment choices outweigh the risks based on the current medical literature and guidelines. I understand that initiating care with MyMenopauseRx may not result in a prescription or the exact treatment I was hoping for, but it will be evidence-based, following any current treatment guidelines and standard of care.

Prescriptions

MyMenopauseRx is not a pharmacy. My prescriptions will be sent to the pharmacy I listed in my patient dashboard. I understand I may change my preferred pharmacy at any time. I understand it is my responsibility to change my pharmacy in my patient dashboard. If I desire a pharmacy change after the initiation of my video visit, it is my responsibility to arrange a pharmacy-to-pharmacy transfer by calling the pharmacy I would like to fill my prescription. MyMenopauseRx does not send prescriptions to pharmacies based outside the US.

I understand the clinicians do their best to prescribe FDA-approved medications to treat my menopause symptoms and health concerns. Generic medications are recommended first when they are available. Some of the medications recommended to me may be considered ‘off label,' meaning they are not officially FDA approved for the symptom they were recommended to treat, but their use is supported in the medical literature in line with the standard of care in clinical practice. MyMenopauseRx does prescribe testosterone in select states but does not prescribe any additional controlled substances.

Emergency Care

I understand that I should never use MyMenopauseRx in a medical or psychiatric emergency. I understand that in an emergency, I should dial 911 or go to the closest emergency department.

Accepting Responsibility of Care

I understand that the MyMenopauseRx clinician will take responsibility for my care only after he or she has determined I am a good candidate for virtual menopause care. The duty of care only begins when the clinician accepts the duty of care. The duty of care does not begin at me making an appointment, answering health questions, making payment, starting a video visit, or requesting treatment.

Only after I have created an account, answered all the required health questions, completed the menopause questionnaire, made payment and have had a video visit, can the clinician determine that I am a good candidate for the telehealth services provided by MeMenopauseRx.

I understand that the clinician has the right to refuse to take responsibility for my care if they make a professional judgment that I am not a good candidate for their virtual care. I understand that making a request for treatment or a lab service (making payment or by starting a video visit), completing a lab service or sending a message through the website does not in and of itself create a duty of care or create a doctor-patient relationship.

MyMenopauseRx duty of care does not extend to my wider health, even if I told the clinician information about my health as part of the intake questionnaire or during a video or message visit.

I understand that if I complete a virtual visit and the clinician refuses to accept the duty of care, I will be recommended to seek treatment with a traditional menopause clinician listed on the North American Menopause Society Website. Payment for service will not be reimbursed as the clinician performed a medical consultation, using their medical decision-making to review my medical history, menopause questionnaire and my personal health complaints, determining the best possible care for me. If I am recommended to utilize an in-person menopause specialist, I may still use the MyMenopauseRx self-order lab testing service and are welcome to return for virtual care in the future after my personal circumstances have been evaluated.

Treatment

I understand that the clinicians at MyMenopauseRx will use shared decision making, educating me with information to help me make an informed decision about whether to accept a proposed treatment plan. This information includes but is not limited to the benefits, risks, and alternative treatment options available to me, including the option of not taking any treatment. I understand that it is ultimately my responsibility to make an informed decision whether to accept a treatment plan the clinician recommends.

I understand that any medications the clinician may prescribe or recommend, including over-the-counter medicines, can cause side effects and/or adverse events. This includes a severe allergic reaction, permanent disability, and even death. I understand the importance of reading all information that comes with a medicine, including an over-the-counter medicine/supplement, before I take a medicine.

I understand that adverse events can be caused by a number of things, including an allergic reaction, side effects, or interactions between a medicine that a clinician prescribes and any medical conditions I may have, other prescription medicines, supplements, herbs, over-the- counter medicines, or recreational drugs I'm taking. I understand my lifestyle choices such as smoking tobacco products, drinking alcohol, using marijuana or illegal drugs can contribute to an adverse event.

I understand I am expected to refer to my visit summaries and Learn articles published on the MyMenopauseRx website for a review of the risks/benefits and alternatives to treatment discussed.

I understand that the clinicians at MyMenopauseRx encourage me to share my visit summaries, available on my patient dashboard, with my primary care clinician and or local Ob/Gyn.

I consent to allow MyMenopauseRx LLC, and it's subsidiaries to utilize my de-identified healthcare data for women's healthcare research and to improve access to care by adjusting our marketing efforts.

Lab & Diagnostic Testing, Clinician-Recommended

I understand that MyMenopauseRx clinicians may order lab and diagnostic tests and will help me understand the test results and advise me on next steps. The duty of care related to lab/diagnostic testing ordered by MyMenopauseRx is restricted exclusively to the act of ordering and interpreting the specific tests ordered and completed utilizing the MyMenopauseRx lab order.

I understand that it's my responsibility to seek follow-up care and ongoing care from an in-person healthcare clinician if recommended by MyMenopauseRx after interpretation of my lab/diagnostic results. The duty of care of MyMenopauseRx does not include outside testing I may have provided to the clinician for information related to my complaints.

Self-ordered Lab Testing

If I elect to use the self-ordered lab testing service available on the MyMenopauseRx website, the duty of care of MyMenopauseRx clinicians and associated clinical staff is restricted to ordering and interpreting the specific lab testing I self-selected. I understand the MyMenopauseRx clinician will interpret the results of my self-ordered lab testing for my informational purposes only and does not begin a doctor-patient relationship. I understand interpretation of labs will occur via a message in my patient dashboard. I agree that I am solely responsible for checking my dashboard for results and arranging any follow-up with a local in-person clinician. I understand there may be a delay of a number of days before MyMenopauseRx clinicians review my completed lab test or any messages I send.

I understand the self-ordered lab testing at MyMenopauseRx is performed at Quest Diagnostics and not by MyMenopauseRx itself. I understand that if advised to fast for lab testing as indicated on the website, and I do not follow instructions, lab results may not be accurate, and I may be asked to repeat the testing at my own expense. I understand that MYMenopauseRx does not accept medical insurance for payment for self-ordered lab testing. I understand that I may be able to use my FSA/HSA accounts.

Breast Health

I understand that the My MenopauseRx clinician will not order testing for my breast health and I am expected to have my primary care physician or local OB/GYN order and interpret my breast health testing. I understand the duty of care for evaluation and treatment of my breast health does not extend to MyMenopauseRx or it's clinicians.

Messaging

I understand that I may message the MyMenopauseRx clinical team through my patient dashboard for all non-urgent questions. I understand there may be a delay of a number of days before they review any messages I send. I understand that I must check my dashboard for messages because this is the way that the clinician will communicate important information to me. I understand that if I don't check my dashboard regularly, then my care may be delayed. I understand that to read important information in my messages and on the website, I may need to both click on links and various titles to expand the information that's visible.

Professional Medical Advice

I understand that the only content that constitutes professional medical advice is the personalized messages a clinician sends me and/or advice that a clinician discusses in my video consultation (once the clinician has taken responsibility for my care). No other content on the Website, social media or community channels constitutes professional medical advice and is for information purposes only. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something you have read on the MyMenopauseRx Website.

Payment for Services

I understand that I could seek an in-office visit for my care elsewhere, and I am choosing to participate in a Telehealth consultation with a medical clinician of the MyMenopauseRx Medical Group.

I understand that I have the choice to utilize my health insurance or pay our published self-pay rate for this service. I understand I may have to check with my insurance plan to see if telehealth visits are covered. I understand that if I choose to use my FSA / HSA, it is my responsibility to submit any required information to obtain reimbursement.

I understand that if I choose to pay using my health insurance, I am responsible for any co-pays, deductibles and/or amounts not covered by my health plan or any third-party payor. My card will have a $1 authorization hold when booking a visit, video or message visit, that will be removed after 7 days.

I understand that if I miss my scheduled telehealth visit, I am responsible for a $99 no show fee. I understand that my credit card on file will be charged $99 if I have used my health insurance. If I used the self-pay option, I understand my $99 payment is non-refundable.

Refunds

By receiving care through MyMenopauseRx, I understand that payment, whether self-pay or through my health insurance, is for the medical evaluation and consultation provided by MyMenopauseRx Medical Group clinicians. The outcome of my visit, including whether a specific treatment or prescription is recommended, is based solely on medical judgment and clinical guidelines.

I understand refunds will not be issued if a clinician determines that a particular treatment, prescription, or service is not medically appropriate and I agree I will not refute any credit card charges, understanding medical care was provided. This policy applies to both self-pay patients and if you use your health insurance.

MyMenopauseRx clinicians are committed to evidence-based care, and I understand every treatment decision is made with my safety and health as the top priority.

Accounts

I understand that it is important that I don't create more than one account. Creating more than one account makes it impossible for the clinician to see my full history of care that I've received from MyMenopauseRx. I understand that creating more than one account could influence the clinician's clinical decision-making regarding my care.

Signing this Consent

I understand and agree that by using MyMenopauseRx, I seek to enter into a doctor/patient relationship where the clinician relies exclusively upon information that I provide to decide whether or not treatment for me is safe and appropriate. I understand that I will not receive any other medical services that go beyond the diagnosis and treatment of menopause care or published health conditions/visit types on my dashboard. I understand and agree to abide by the terms outlined in this document.
