We will notify you of material changes by posting the amended terms on the Flyte website, EHR, PMS, RCM, and the Evolve application at least thirty (30) days before the effective date of the changes. If we have your email on file, we will also notify you of material changes to the Medical Services Terms by email at least thirty (30) days before the effective date of the changes. Please make sure we have your current email address so that you will receive notice of any material changes. If you do not agree with the proposed changes, you should discontinue your use of the Medical Services before the effective date of the change. If you continue using the Medical Services after the effective date, you will be bound by the updated Medical Services Terms.
Your Financial Responsibility; Assignment of Benefits
You agree to pay Flyte all applicable charges at the prices then in effect for the Medical Services provided to you or another person on whose behalf you are accepting these Medical Services Terms and/or payment responsibility (such as your children or other family members) (“Covered Family Member”). You will be charged for the Medical Services, including complementary and alternative services provided to you or your Covered Family Member by a Flyte healthcare service provider (each, a “clinical health care provider”). You authorize Flyte to charge your chosen payment method (your “Payment Method”) for the Medical Services provided to you or your Covered Family Member. If your Payment Method is invalid at the time payment is due, you agree to pay all amounts due upon demand. The third party services provider who manages your Payment Method may impose terms and conditions on you, which are independent of these Medical Services Terms, and you agree to comply with all of those terms. Flyte may accumulate charges that you’ve incurred for the Medical Services and submit them as one or more aggregate charges during or at the end of each billing cycle. Flyte reserves the right to correct any billing errors or mistakes even if payment has already been requested or received.
Medical Services include remote visits with our clinical health care providers. Remote visits are scheduled just like an in-office visit and provide the same service experience, with the exception that the remote visit is conducted remotely over a secure video and audio connection rather than in person. Remote visits are billable just like an in-office visit, at the same fee that would be billed to such a visit if it was conducted in person. For the avoidance of doubt, your financial responsibility and assignment of benefits described above apply to remote visits as well.
If you provide information about your health insurance or health plan, that will be deemed your authorization for us to submit claims for covered Medical Services to your health insurer or health plan. You hereby assign or otherwise authorize payment of medical benefits to us for the Medical Services provided to you or your Covered Family Member. You authorize the release of any medical or other information necessary to process any claims for the Medical Services provided. You further understand and accept your financial responsibility for any portion of the bill not covered by your health insurer or health plan. SUBMISSION OF CHARGES DOES NOT WAIVE OUR RIGHT TO SEEK PAYMENT DIRECTLY FROM YOU.
Appointments: Missed/Late Cancellation
You understand and agree that if you do not show for your appointment or you cancel your appointment with less than 24 hours’ notice, we may charge you a fee for a missed/late cancelled appointment.
Permission to Treat
You give permission to the clinical health care providers to medically care for you and your Covered Family Member. You may withdraw this consent at any time by no longer seeking Medical Services from Flyte. You understand and agree that as part of providing Medical Services to you, your Protected Health Information (as defined by HIPAA), including test results, may be released to an online personal health record and via communication with Flyte’s healthcare team electronically (in accordance with our Notice of HIPAA Privacy Practices).
Service Termination
You may terminate your use of the Medical Services at any time by not using the Medical Services any more. We may terminate your use of the Medical Services at any time in our reasonable discretion, for causes including but not limited illegal conduct such as falsifying information to obtain controlled substances, abusive and threatening behavior, and continued refusal to pay for our services. We may terminate your use of the Medical Services by sending notice to you at the mail or email address you provided to us or by otherwise contacting you. If we terminate your use of the Medical Services, we will use reasonable effort to notify your insurer, if any.
Mental Health Services Disclaimer
Mental health services may involve discussing sensitive aspects of your life in person or via Telemedicine (defined below) ; you may experience uncomfortable feelings like sadness, guilt, anger, frustration, loneliness, or helplessness. If at any point you experience significant increased distress or have thoughts of harming yourself or others, you agree to notify your mental health provider so that an appropriate level of support can be provided. Your mental health provider may utilize a set of psychological symptom questionnaires in order to assist with determining a diagnosis and track your progress in counseling, and may discuss the nature of these assessments and your results when applicable.
Intensive Behavioral Therapy Services Disclaimer
Flyte may, from time to time, with your consent, offer complementary methods of intensive behavioral therapy (“IBT”) in connection with the Medical Services. You must inform the clinical health care provider who is caring for you if you are or become pregnant, as this may affect your treatment protocol.
If you seek IBT treatment, you should also consult with you physician to be screened for any predispositions to injuries and risks in regard to any of the IBT treatments, to address serious health concerns, and to avoid any contra-indications, including:
- Nutrition consultation services are not licensed by many states in the U.S. The methods of evaluation employed, which may include meal plan design, eating pattern analysis, and progress analysis, are not intended to diagnose disease.
- Exercise and physical activity consultation services are not licensed by many states in the U.S. The methods of evaluation employed, which may include establishing measurements for pulse (resting and active state) levels, weight lifting, stretching, and progress analysis, are not intended to diagnose disease.
- Lifestyle consultation services are not licensed by many states in the U.S. The methods of evaluation employed, which may include stress reduction exercises, meditation, tai chi, breathing techniques, sleep, progress analysis, are not intended to diagnose disease.
You acknowledge that you understand that while this section describes some of the major risks of IBT treatment, it does not address all of them and other side effects and risks may occur.
You understand that the IBT modalities are not a substitute for conventional medical care and the IBT clinical health care providers cannot anticipate all possible risks and complications of treatment. You will immediately notify your IBT clinical health care provider of any unanticipated or unpleasant effects associated with any of your IBT treatments.
You hereby give consent to any of the IBT clinical health care providers at Flyte to assess and care for your present condition and any other future conditions for which you seek attention.
Consent to Electronic Communications
You agree that Flyte may send the following to you by email or by posting them on our website and mobile application: legal disclosures; these Medical Services Terms, Notice of HIPAA Privacy Practices; future changes to any of the above; and other notices, policies, communications or disclosures and information related to the Medical Services. You agree that Flyte may contact you via secure messaging, email, phone, text, or mail regarding the Medical Services. You consent to receive such communications electronically. You agree to update your contact information to ensure accuracy.
If you later decide that you do not want to receive certain future communications electronically, please send an email to support@flytemedical.com. You may also opt out of certain electronic communications through your account or by following the unsubscribe instructions in any communication you receive from Flyte. Your withdrawal of consent will be effective within a reasonable time after we receive your withdrawal notice described above.
Flyte will need to send you certain communications electronically regarding the Medical Services. You will not be able to opt out of those communications – e.g., communications regarding updates to these Medical Services Terms or information about billing. Your withdrawal of consent will not affect the legal validity or enforceability of the Medical Services Terms provided to and accepted by, you.
Disclaimers
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY LAW, EXCEPT IN CASE OF NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, WE AND OUR AFFILIATES, PROVIDERS, EMPLOYEES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS OR AGENTS WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE, INCLUDING PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH, RESULTING FROM ANYONE’S USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE MEDICAL SERVICES.
The Medical Services are intended for use only within the United States and its territories. We make no representation that the Medical Services are appropriate, or are available for use outside the U.S. Those who choose to access and use our Medical Services from outside the U.S. do so on their own initiative, at their own risk, and are responsible for compliance with applicable laws.
Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL WE AND OUR AFFILIATES, PROVIDERS, EMPLOYEES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THOSE RELATING TO LOST PROFITS OR THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE MEDICAL SERVICES OR FROM THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE MEDICAL SERVICES, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, WARRANTY, PRODUCT LIABILITY, TORT OR OTHER LEGAL THEORY AND EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
Partners
Flyte has partnered with select health systems and academic medical centers in many of our markets to provide Medical Services. As a result, for Medical Services, with the exception of OM Only Telehealth Services, in the following markets, these Medical Services Terms are modified as set forth below. Each of the Partners identified in this section is deemed to be a party to these Medical Services Terms, with the exception of OM Only Telemedicine Services, as they relate to Medical Services provided by the Partner in the corresponding regions identified below.
Telehealth Services and Permission
Flyte may provide certain Telemedicine services to you (the “Telemedicine Services”), together or separately from its regional Partners. You consent to receive emails or other electronic communications from Flyte pertaining to your care and your health, which may include Protected Health Information (“PHI”). You understand that virtual encounters via phone, email, video, or otherwise, could involve, and you hereby consent to the use of, automated tools for diagnosis, care, treatment or communication pertaining to healthcare matters. You also acknowledge that such virtual encounters may involve care by a variety of clinical health care providers, including Physicians, Registered Nurses, Nurse Practitioners, Physician Assistants, Nutritionists, Naturopathic Doctors, Therapists, and other support or medical personnel.
You give permission to Flyte and the Telehealth Services clinical health care providers to record and process your personal details and medical data. You may withdraw these permissions at any time by no longer seeking Telehealth Services from Flyte.
“Telehealth” is the delivery of healthcare services using technology when the clinical health care provider and patient are not in the same physical location, and/or the virtual delivery of healthcare, medical and IBT services, including by a clinical health care provider or qualified health care professional or via digital or automated tools, including without limitation tools for medical or health-related diagnosis and treatment. The Telehealth Services may be used for diagnosis, treatment, care, follow-up and/or patient education, and may include, without limitation, the following: electronic transmission of patient medical records, medical images, and/or other patient data or information; synchronous (i.e., “real time”) and asynchronous (i.e., non-“real time”) interactions via audio, video, text, and/or data or other electronic communications; automated, electronic or digital tools or services for diagnosis, care, treatment and/or communication pertaining to healthcare or medical matters; and output, transmission or exchange of data from medical devices, sound and video files. Further, you understand that it may be possible that your condition cannot be treated via the Telehealth Services, or that information transmitted through the Telehealth Services may not be sufficient or of too poor of image quality, or insufficient information or data to allow for appropriate medical decision making. Accordingly, you may be required to seek additional in-person medical care, alternative healthcare or emergency services. If your health or medical problem or condition persists after use of Telehealth Services, you will immediately contact your medical services provider and seek appropriate additional in-person medical care or emergency care, as appropriate.

- We may change, suspend, or discontinue any of our partnerships, including health system partnerships, at any time. We will provide you with notices of such changes as applicable.
- These Medical Services Terms do not confer any third-party beneficiary rights, except to Partners in the corresponding regions identified herewithin. Each of the Partners is a third party beneficiary of these Medical Services Terms and shall have the right to enforce these Medical Services Terms directly as it deems necessary to enforce its rights or protect its interests in connection with these Medical Services Terms. You may not transfer any of your rights or obligations under these Medical Services Terms to anyone else without our consent. Flyte may assign our rights in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, or by operation of law or otherwise.

Flyte HIPAA Privacy Practice
Last Update: December 22, 2021
THIS NOTICE OF HIPAA PRIVACY PRACTICES, TOGETHER WITH THE PARTNERS JOINT NOTICES OF HIPAA PRIVACY PRACTICES (“Notice”) DESCRIBES HOW YOUR HEALTH INFORMATION MAY BE USED AND DISCLOSED BY FLYTE, AND IF APPLICABLE, BY ITS PARTNERS (DEFINED BELOW) AND HOW YOU AS A PATIENT CAN GET ACCESS TO THIS INFORMATION. PLEASE REVIEW THE NOTICE CAREFULLY.
Flyte has partnered with select health systems (“Partners”) in some of its markets. In each of those markets, a Joint Notice of HIPAA Privacy Practices from Flyte and the relevant Partner will apply to you (“Group Notice”).
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) requires us to ask each of our patients to acknowledge receipt of our Notice of HIPAA Privacy Practices. The Notice is published on the Flyte website, Flyte mobile application, and available at Flyte clinics. You acknowledge receipt of the Notice by clicking on the “I Acknowledge Receipt of the Notice of HIPAA Privacy Practices” button, or by indicating your acknowledgement in another written or digital manner provided. You can receive a copy of the Notice by asking for one at a Flyte practice, or by printing one from our website at anytime.
Each of the Flyte professional corporation affiliates together designate themselves as a single Covered Entity (“CE”) for purposes of compliance with HIPAA, including without limitation: S.I.A. of NY, P.C. (a New York professional corporation) These entities, collectively, are referred to in this policy as “the Affiliates”. Each of these entities, and their related virtual and physical locations and clinical care providers will follow the terms of this Notice. In addition, the entities, sites, virtual and physical locations and clinical care providers may share medical information with each other for treatment, payment, or healthcare operations related to the CE. This designation may be amended periodically to add new covered entities that are part of the Affiliated Covered Entity under HIPAA.
Flyte Responsibilities
Under HIPAA, the Affiliates must take steps to protect the privacy of your “Protected Health Information” (“PHI”). PHI includes information that we have created or received regarding your health or payment for your health. It includes both your medical records and personal information such as your name, social security number, financial information, address, and phone number.
Under federal law, we are required to:
- Protect the privacy of your PHI. All of our employees and providers are required to maintain the confidentiality of PHI and receive appropriate privacy training
- Provide you with this Notice of Privacy Practices explaining our duties and practices regarding your PHI
- Notify you in the case of a breach of unsecured PHI
- Follow the practices and procedures set forth in this Notice
Uses and Disclosures of Your Protected Health Information That Do Not Require Your Authorization
The Affiliates use and disclose PHI in a number of ways connected to your treatment, payment for your care, and our healthcare operations. Some examples of how we may use or disclose your PHI without your authorization are listed below.
CLINICAL CARE TREATMENT
- To our physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and others involved in your healthcare or preventive healthcare.
- To our different departments to coordinate treatment-related activities, such as prescriptions, lab work, and X-rays.
- To other health and clinical care providers treating you who are not on our staff such as other qualified and licensed clinical health care providers. For example (and without limitation), if you are being treated for another chronic disease other than a metabolic disease, Flyte may share your PHI among your primary care provider, chronic care specialist, and your mental health therapist, among others, so they can provide proper care.
PAYMENT
- To administer your health benefits policy or contract.
- To bill you for healthcare we provide.
- To pay others who provided care to you.
- To other organizations and providers for payment activities, unless disclosure is prohibited by law
HEALTHCARE OPERATIONS
- To administer and support our business activities or those of other healthcare organizations (as allowed by law), including providers and plans. For example (and without limitation), we may use your PHI to conduct quality analysis, data aggregation, review and improve our services and the care you receive and to provide training.
- To other individuals (such as consultants and attorneys) and other companies and organizations that help us with our business activities. (Note: If we share your PHI with other organizations for this purpose, they must agree to protect your privacy.
OTHER
We may use or disclose your PHI without your authorization for legal and/or governmental purposes in the following circumstances:
- As required by law – When we are required by laws, including workers’ compensation laws.
- Public health and safety – To an authorized public health authority or individual to:
- Protect public health and safety.
- Prevent or control disease, injury, or disability.
- Report vital statistics such as births or deaths.
- Investigate or track problems with prescription drugs and medical devices.
- Abuse or neglect – To government entities authorized to receive reports regarding abuse, neglect, or domestic violence.
- Minors – In general, parents and legal guardians are legal representatives of minor patients. However, in certain circumstances, as dictated by state law, minors can act on their own behalf and consent to their own treatment. In general, we will share the PHI of a patient who is a minor with the minor’s parents or guardians, unless the minor could have consented to the care themselves (except where parental disclosure may be required per applicable law).
- Oversight agencies – To health oversight agencies for certain activities such as audits, examinations, investigations, inspections, and licensures.
- Legal proceedings – In the course of any legal proceeding or in response to an order of a court or administrative agency and in response to a subpoena, discovery request, or other lawful process.
- Law enforcement – To law enforcement officials in certain circumstances for law enforcement purposes. By way of example and without limitation, disclosures may be made to identify or locate a suspect, witness, or missing person; to report a crime; or to provide information concerning victims of crimes.
- Health Information Exchanges – We may participate in health information exchanges (“HIEs”) and may electronically share your medical information for treatment, payment and healthcare operations purposes with other participants in the HIEs. HIEs allow us, and your other health and clinical care providers and organizations, to efficiently share and better use information necessary for your treatment and other lawful purposes. In some states, the inclusion of your medical information in an HIE is voluntary and subject to your right to opt-in or opt-out; if you choose to opt-in or not to opt-out, we may provide your medical information in accordance with applicable law to the HIEs in which we participate.
- Financial information – We may ask you about income or other financial information to determine if you may qualify for a low income waiver of the membership fee or other services where applicable. We may use this information for operations, marketing, and administrative purposes and to improve our service offerings.
- Research – We may disclose health information about you for research purposes, subject to the confidentiality provisions of state and federal law. In most cases, we will ask for your written authorization before using your PHI or sharing it with others in order to conduct research. However, under some circumstances, we may use and disclose your PHI without your written authorization if an Institutional Review Board (IRB), applying specific criteria, determines that the particular research protocol poses minimal risk to your privacy. Under no circumstances, however, would we allow researchers to use your name or identity publicly without your authorization. We may release your PHI without your written authorization to people who are preparing a future research project as long as any information identifying you does not leave Flyte. Enrollment in a research study is completely voluntary, will not affect your treatment or welfare, and your PHI will continue to be protected.
- Military activity and national security – To the military and to authorized federal officials for national security and intelligence purposes, to the Department of Veterans Affairs as required by military authorities, or in connection with providing protective services to the President of the United States.
Flyte may also use or disclose your PHI without your authorization in the following miscellaneous circumstances:
- Contacting you directly – We may use your PHI, including your email address or phone number, to contact you. For example, we may also use this information to send you appointment reminders and other communications relating to your care and treatment, or let you know about treatment alternatives or other health related services or benefits that may be of interest to you, via email, phone call, or text message.
- Your patient account – We may make certain PHI, such as information about care or treatment, appointment histories and medication records, accessible to you through online tools, such as email or your Flyte patient account.
- Family and friends – To a member of your family, a relative, a close friend—or any other person you identify who is directly involved in your healthcare—when you are either not present or unable to make a healthcare decision for yourself and we determine that disclosure is in your best interest. We will also assume that we may disclose PHI to any person you permit to be physically present with you as we discuss your PHI with you. For example, we may disclose PHI to a friend who brings you into an emergency room, we may allow someone other than you to pick up your prescription, and we will assume that we may discuss your healthcare with a person you bring with you to your in-office appointments.
- Unless you notify us that you object, your name, location within our facility, and general information about your health condition may be disclosed to people who ask for you by name. Members of the clergy will be told your religious affiliation if they ask. This is to help your family, friends, and clergy visit you in the facility and generally know how you are doing.
- In the waiting area of our office – When you join us in our office, we may call your name aloud in the waiting area. If you do not wish to have your name called aloud, please tell the front desk admin and we will make adjustments to meet your request.
- Treatment alternatives and plan description – To communicate with you about treatment services, options, or alternatives, as well as health-related benefits or services that may be of interest to you, or to describe our health plan and providers to you.
- De-identified information – If information is removed from your PHI so that you can’t be identified, except as prohibited by law.
- Coroners, funeral directors, and organ donation – To coroners, funeral directors, and organ donation organizations as authorized by law.
- Disaster relief – To an authorized public or private entity for disaster relief purposes. For example, we might disclose your PHI to help notify family members of your location or general condition.
- Threat to health or safety – To avoid a serious threat to the health or safety of yourself and others.
Uses and Disclosures of Your Protected Health Information That Require Us to Obtain Your Authorization
Except in the situations listed in the sections above, we will use and disclose your PHI only with your written authorization. This means we will not use your PHI in the following cases, unless you give us written permission:
- Marketing purposes, except as allowed by HIPAA or applicable law (by way of example, marketing communications allowed by HIPAA without authorization include communications pertaining to care or treatment and/or our products or services.)
- Sale of your information.
- Sharing your PHI with your employer or school.
- Most sharing of psychotherapy notes.
In some situations, federal and state laws provide special protections for specific kinds of PHI and require authorization from you before we can disclose that specially protected PHI. For example, additional protections may apply in some states to genetic, mental health, drug and alcohol abuse, rape and sexual assault, sexually transmitted disease and/or HIV/AIDS-related information, and/or to the use of your PHI in certain review and disciplinary proceedings of healthcare professionals by state authorities. In these situations, we will comply with the more stringent state laws pertaining to such use or disclosure. If you have questions about these laws, please contact the Privacy Officer at privacy@flytemedical.com.
Your Rights Regarding Your Protected Health Information
You have the right to:
