I agree to receive the services provided by Integrative Oncology-Essentials (“IOE”) relating to ordering laboratory tests (“Tests”), including, without limitation, physician oversight, ordering of Tests, physician follow ups via telemedicine, any customer support and any other related services provided by IOE.

I acknowledge and agree to the following:

  • I have read and understand the information provided about the Test(s) that I am ordering on the IOE website.
  • The information I have provided in connection with the IOE services is correct to the best of my knowledge. I will not hold IOE or its health care providers responsible for any errors or omissions that I may have made in providing such information.
  • I authorize my health information and results to be shared by and among IOE health care providers, staff and agents in connection with the associated IOE services.
  • I understand that administrative costs are included in the test prices.
  • All orders (test kits) will be shipped out, within 24 hours (excluding weekends). Average shipping time is 5 days.
  • I understand that I am solely responsible for any fees associated with blood draws or other specimen collection.
  • I agree that an online blood or urine lab test purchased through the IOE website does not constitute medical advice. The lab test results are not a diagnosis, treatment or protocol for any disease or condition and it is recommended that I discuss all results with a qualified health professional. I also agree that the lab test results can be inaccurate through no fault of IOE or the ordering physician. I agree that it is my responsibility to consult my own physician about my lab test results. I understand and agree that neither IOE nor the ordering physician is my medical provider and that no patient/physician relationship exists or will exist as a result of my blood or urine lab test order or my lab results. I agree that my test results are provided for educational purposes only and I agree to follow-up with my own physician if I have any questions about my lab results or do not feel well.
  • I cannot hold IOE or any of its employees responsible for any personal lifestyle changes made after any communication with any of our physicians or employees.
  • If I receive an abnormal result on a Test that IOE determines warrants an alert call, I understand that a representative of IOE will attempt to call me to relay the results, offer education and explain the next steps I should take. IOE may leave me a voice message at my designated telephone number. I also understand that if I am not able to be reached, IOE will email a follow letter to my designated email address (the letter will not include my test results). If I receive an abnormal result and have not connected with IOE, I understand that I should not delay following up with my personal physician.
  • I understand that before or after receiving my results, I will have the opportunity to purchase a follow up with an IOE physician to review.
  • I am responsible for forwarding any results to my primary care or other personal physician and for initiating follow up with such physician for care, diagnosis, medical treatment or to obtain an interpretation of the results.
  • I will not make medical decisions without consulting a healthcare provider or disregard medical advice from my healthcare provider or delay seeking such advice based on information as a result of the use of IOE services.
  • I understand that IOE services will be delivered by a health care provider who is not in the same physical location as I am using electronic communications, information technology or other means, including the electronic transmission of personal health information.

I also understand that:

  • I have the right to withdraw my consent to the use of telehealth in the course of my care at any time by contacting Integrative Oncology-Essentials at the following link.
