Information regarding payment is provided on the Labcorp OnDemand website.  Payments for the PWN Services are collected by Labcorp on PWN’s behalf.

 

By continuing with the PWN Services, you understand and agree that you are responsible for paying all fees associated with the PWN Services being offered by PWN, including any fees charged by medical providers and affiliated professional entities for professional services.  While we are aware that some health insurance plans may offer coverage for certain COVID-19 services (including testing services) and have waived or reduced patient co-pays associated with such services and testing, the medical providers and affiliated professional entities providing PWN Services for COVID-19 have not contracted with any health insurance plans to make these services available.  Accordingly, you agree to pay PWN Remote Care Services or its contractually affiliated professional entities directly for the PWN Services provided to you.  You may request that PWN provide you with a detailed accounting of the PWN Services provided to you.  This information may enable you to obtain reimbursement for your out-of-pocket expenses from your health insurer.  However, the terms and conditions of coverage for COVID-19 services and testing vary by plan, and the COVID-19 services offered by PWN may not be eligible for coverage or expense reimbursement.   

 

The PWN Services are paid for by you and neither the PWN Services nor the tests are intended to be reimbursed by any health plan.  PWN does not submit or process insurance paperwork or claims.

 

5.         Test Request Evaluation.

 

PWNHealth affiliated independent physicians evaluate Test requests and determine whether testing is appropriate for you. All PWNHealth Services provided by physicians shall be provided through PWN Remote Care Services or its affiliated professional entities. You will be notified of whether or not your Test request has been approved and ordered.    If you have any clinical questions in connection with your Test Request or at any time prior to receiving your results, please contact PWNHealth at the contact information below and you will be connected or directed to a member of the PWNHealth clinical team. 

 

6.         Results Outreach.

 

If you receive an abnormal result on a Test, you understand that PWNHealth's Care Coordination Team may attempt to call you to review the results, offer education and explain the next steps you should take.  PWNHealth’s Care Coordination Team may leave you a voicemail but will not include your test results in any voicemail message.  You also understand that if you are not able to be reached, PWNHealth's Care Coordination Team may mail  a follow-up letter to the residential address you provided when you purchased my test (the letter will not include your test results).  If you receive an abnormal result and have not connected with PWNHealth’s Care Coordination Team, you understand that you should not delay following up with my personal physician).    If I have received a positive Test Result on a COVID-19 PCR Test, I will receive a call from a PWNHealth care coordinator as described above; however, if I receive a positive result on a COVID-19 antibody Test, I will not receive a call.

 

PWNHealth may contact you after via phone, email or messaging to follow up with you on your symptoms and customer satisfaction.

As part of the PWNHealth Services, you are eligible to receive a post-test telehealth consultation (a “Consult”) with a PWN affiliated board certified physician or other healthcare provider licensed in the state where you are located at no additional cost (a “PWN Healthcare Provider”).  After you have received your Results, you may arrange a Consult through the PWNHealth Care Coordination Team, either through a call you may receive from the PWNHealth Care Coordination Team regarding your Results or by contacting the PWNHealth Care Coordination Team at the “Contact Us” number below. You will be asked by the PWNHealth Care Coordination Team to complete a brief intake survey to collect necessary health information prior to your Consult, including the state in which you will be located at the time of the Consult.  If you have arranged for a Consult, a PWN Healthcare Provider will make up to three (3) attempts to reach you at the contact number you provided.   If the PWN Healthcare Provider does not reach you after three (3) attempts, you can contact the PWNHealth Care Coordination Team at the “Contact Us” number below to arrange for additional outreach by a PWN Healthcare Provider.  At this time, PWNHealth does not schedule Consults at designated times.   During the Consult, you may speak with the physician by phone or video, depending on your state’s regulations.

 

During your Consult, you may discuss your Test Results, get educational information, and talk about next steps.  You may be offered information about treatment options for COVID-19 and if appropriate, a PWNHealth physician may prescribe treatment during a Consult.

                  Informed Consent to Perform HIV testing

 

(This Consent Applies Only If You Purchase An HIV Test)

 

I have been provided with and I understand the following information regarding HIV testing:

 

  • What is HIV? HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus. It's the virus that causes AIDS. It damages your immune system, making it easier for you to get sick and even die from infections or diseases, like cancer, that your body could normally fight off.
  • How does the test work? The HIV test is a blood test that looks for HIV and requires you to provide a sample of your blood. The test is divided into three parts to ensure accuracy. The first test looks for antibodies your body makes when have been infected with HIV, as well as part of the virus itself. If the result of the first part is non-reactive, you are not infected with the HIV virus. If it is reactive, a second test, which looks for antibodies against HIV, is run from the same blood sample. If this test is reactive, it is highly likely you are infected with the HIV virus. If it is non-reactive or indeterminate, a third test is run. This last test looks for RNA, HIV’s genetic material. If this test is positive, then it confirms that there is HIV infection. Another test may be recommended if all three parts of the test are negative but there is still a strong reason to think you have been infected.
  • Timing of Testing.  After being infected with HIV, it takes several weeks and possibly months for blood tests to detect the virus. If you test too soon, the test may be negative even if the virus is in your body. If you think you may have been exposed to HIV in the last 3 days, you should immediately contact a doctor. Prompt treatment, also called post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP), within 3 days of a possible exposure, can decrease the chance that you will develop an HIV infection.
  • Test Results and Counseling.  If your test shows that you have HIV, PWNHealth's Care Coordination Team will call you to review the results and explain the next steps you should take, including where you can get treatment. After your test you will be offered education, counseling, and information regarding your results.
  • Treatment of HIV. There are treatment options for HIV.  There’s no cure for HIV, but medication can slow down the damage the virus causes. New medications have made it possible for people with HIV to live about as long as they would without HIV. Getting tested means getting treatment that will help you stay healthy longer and lower the chances of spreading the virus to others.
  • Safe Practices.   Individuals with HIV/AIDS can adopt practices to protect uninfected people from becoming infected.  Use condoms every time you have sex.
  • Partner Notification.  If you test positive, it is important to notify your sexual and needle sharing partners and many states require that you do so.  There are resources available from your local health department which can help you notify your partners.  Be honest with your future partners so you can both be informed and help each other stay healthy.
  • Further Testing.  Even if your test results are negative, the CDC recommends yearly testing for some people, including those with multiple sex partners, men who have sex with men, those who use IV drugs, and those who’ve had another STD. Ask your doctor if you should be tested every year.
  • Additional Information.  Additional information is available at the Labcorp OnDemand website.
