2. Acknowledgements.

 

I acknowledge, represent, warrant, authorize and agree to the following as a condition to receiving Enprovider Network Services:

 

(a) No physician or other healthcare provider in the Enprovider Network will be considered to be your physician or healthcare provider and no patient/physician relationship will be deemed to be created between you and any such physician or other healthcare provider. For the avoidance of doubt, no such physician or other healthcare provider shall be considered to be providing me with medical or professional care by reason of this Informed Consent.  Enprovider Network Services do not constitute treatment of any condition, disease or illness.

 

(b) I am the individual who will provide the sample for the Test(s) that I am requesting.

 

(c) I am at least at the age of legal majority necessary to provide this Consent and the samples for the Test(s) in the state in which I am located (in most states that is eighteen (18) but you must confirm this for yourself).I am legally competent.

 

(d) I have read and understand the information provided about the Test(s) and/or Vaccination(s) on the Labcorp OnDemand website (https://www.ondemand.labcorp.com/), including without limitation, any risks associated with obtaining and providing the sample(s) for the Test(s) and relying on the Results therefrom. To the extent that I have any questions or concerns regarding the Test(s) and/or Vaccination(s), I have consulted with and obtained satisfactory answers from a physician or other qualified healthcare provider of my choice.

 

(e) All information I have provided in connection with the Enprovider Network Services is correct and complete. If there is additional information that is important to know before authorizing a Test and/or Vaccination or receiving other Enprovider Network Services, I have provided it. I will not hold Enprovider Network or its health care providers responsible for any errors or omissions that I may have made in providing such information. Without limiting the foregoing, at all times when I receive Enprovider Network Services, I will be physically located in the State identified as my place of residence in such information.

 

(f) Labcorp has arranged with Enprovider Network to provide the Enprovider Network Services in conjunction with the Test(s) and/or Vaccination(s) I have requested.

 

(g) In order to utilize certain Enprovider Network Services, I may be required  to provide an appropriate sample for the Test(s), which may include a blood, urine, saliva or other type of sample. Depending on the Test requested, collection of such sample may take place at an employer sponsored event or a Labcorp collection center by appropriately qualified individuals or through the use of a patient collection kit provided to me. Enprovider Network Services is not responsible for the collection of any samples and is not liable for any injury that may occur in connection with obtaining any sample or if any sample is incorrectly labelled, stored or shipped.

 

(h) My health information and results may be shared with other Enprovider Network health care providers, including physicians, and counselors and Labcorp for purposes of providing treatment or in furtherance of healthcare operations. I may limit or revoke this authorization as further described in the Notice of Privacy Practices.

 

(i) While Enprovider Network and Labcorp implement safeguards to avoid errors, as with all laboratory tests, there is a chance of a false positive, a false negative result, or an inconclusive result. Among other things, samples provided to the Enprovider Network may not have been appropriately obtained, or may be damaged or corrupted in transit and as a result, Test results may be inaccurate or misleading. The Enprovider Network is not responsible for the lack of a viable sample, damage or corruption.

 

(j) I am responsible for checking for results notification and logging on to my Labcorp OnDemand account to view my results when available.

Such care coordination may include recommending that you contact an appropriate physician or other medical expert. For the avoidance of doubt the care coordination, itself, does not include medical advice. I also understand that if I am not able to be reached, Labcorp’s care coordination team may mail a follow-up letter to the residential address I provided when I purchased the Test (the letter will not include my Test results). If I receive an abnormal or critical result on a Test and have not connected with Labcorp’s care coordination team, I understand that I should not delay following up with my personal physician. In any event, if I have any questions regarding whether a result is abnormal or critical or as to the meaning of a result, it is my responsibility to follow up with my personal physician or other qualified healthcare provider.  I understand that Labcorp’s care coordination team is not part of the Enprovider Network and the Enprovider Network is not responsible or liable for any acts or omissions of the Labcorp coordination team.
