Health Gorilla Patient Portal User Agreement

Introduction

Health Gorilla, Inc. ("we" "our" or "us") provides a personal health record service (your "Patient Portal") as a free service to patients (and their personal representatives), on behalf of the doctors, and other healthcare providers within our clinical network ("Providers"). This Patient Portal User Agreement (this "Agreement") applies to your use of your Patient Portal. By signing up for, or otherwise obtaining, an account, or by accessing or using your Patient Portal, you are entering into this Agreement and agreeing to be bound by its terms. Please read this Agreement carefully, and do not sign up for an account or use your Patient Portal if you are unwilling or unable to be bound by this Agreement.


Your Patient Portal is made available on our healthgorilla.com website, the use of which is governed by our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. Please review each carefully. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and of the Terms of Use or Privacy Policy, the terms of this Agreement control.

Your Patient Portal

Your Patient Portal is an internet-based portal that allows your Provider(s) to make certain health information available to you. In addition to your health information, if you have the authority under applicable law to access the health information of another individual, such as your child, that individual’s Provider(s) may, in his or her discretion, grant you access privileges for that individual’s health information through your Patient Portal.


You can request you information through healthgorilla.com and we will forward your request to your selected providers. Access to your Patient Portal may or may not be granted to you by Provider(s) you had selected on healthgorilla.com. Your Providers may also invite you to access Patient Portal. Once invited, you will receive an email inviting you to register an account. To register, you will need to satisfy our identity verification and certification procedures and select a user ID and password. You should safeguard your user ID(s), password(s) and other logon information carefully, and not share them with anyone else. If you believe someone has had unauthorized access to your Patient Portal, please contact us at support@healthgorilla.com.


Your Provider(s) (or the Provider of an individual with respect to whom you are authorized to access his/her health information) is responsible for the information made available to you through your Patient Portal. Because your Patient Portal includes information created by your Provider, such information may contain typographical errors, inaccuracies or omissions. In addition, although your Patient Portal displays certain information from your medical records, it does not necessarily display all information in the health records retained by your Provider. If you think that your medical information displayed in your Patient Portal is inaccurate or incomplete, or if you would like to request a complete copy of your medical record, please contact your Provider directly. Because your Patient Portal includes information that is part of your Provider's health record about you, you cannot delete such information. You may, however, terminate your access to your Patient Portal by contacting Health Gorilla or your Provider directly. Your Provider also retains the ability to revoke your access to your Patient Portal.

Regulations Concerning Information Included in your Patient Portal:

We do not control your Provider's use or disclosure of your health information. Your Provider should give you a notice of privacy practices that describes how he or she uses and discloses health information about you. Your Provider's ability to disclose your health information for these and similar purposes is restricted by applicable laws and regulations, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 ("HIPAA"), the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health of 2009 ("HITECH"), and the regulations adopted thereunder. If you wish to restrict the disclosures that your Provider makes of your health information, please contact your Provider directly.


We, like your Provider, are also subject to laws and regulations, including HIPAA, which govern the use and disclosure of certain personal and health information. We make your Patient Portal available to you on behalf of your Provider, as a "business associate" (as defined by HIPAA) of your Provider, pursuant to our Healthcare Provider User Agreement. Under this agreement, we are prohibited from, among other things, using individually identifiable health information in a manner that your Provider may not. We are also required to, among other things, apply reasonable and appropriate measures to safeguard the confidentiality, integrity and availability of individually identifiable health information we store and process on behalf of your Providers.
