  • Digital and remote health interactions may have limitations (e.g., lack of physical examination). A clinician will determine whether in-person care is necessary.

Key points:

  • We collect personal information (e.g., contact details, demographic data) and health information you provide, along with device and usage data.

  • We use PHI to deliver health care, coordinate care, process billing, and comply with legal obligations. We may de-identify data for analytics, research (with appropriate consent), and quality improvement.
