1.Nature of Telehealth Care

Telehealth uses electronic communications (secure messaging, video, and asynchronous review of forms, photos, and lab results) to deliver clinical care without an in-person visit. Your Clinician may be located in a different city or state than you.

2.Benefits

Benefits include improved access to care, convenience, privacy, reduced travel, and the ability to communicate with a licensed Clinician from your home.

3.Risks & Limitations

Limitations include: no in-person physical examination; potential for technology failures, delays, or interruptions; possibility that information transmitted may be insufficient for clinical decision making; risk of unauthorized access despite security measures; and the possibility that your Clinician may determine telehealth is not appropriate for your condition and refer you for in-person care.

4.Alternatives

You may seek care in person from a local clinician at any time. Telehealth is one option, not the only one.

5.Voluntary Participation

Your participation is voluntary. You may withhold or withdraw consent at any time without affecting your right to future care. If you withdraw consent, we will stop providing telehealth services to you.

6.Records & Privacy

Your medical record is maintained securely and is governed by our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices and Privacy Policy. You have the right to inspect and request a copy of your record.

7.Communications

Messages between you and your care team are part of your medical record. Replies are not in real time. Do not use messaging for emergencies.

8.Consent to Prescription Treatment

If a Clinician determines a prescription is appropriate, you consent to having that prescription sent to a partner pharmacy and shipped to the address you provide. You have read or will read the medication’s safety information, including any boxed warning, and you understand that some prescribed medications may be compounded and prepared by a state-licensed 503A compounding pharmacy (see our Medical Disclaimer). You agree to follow your Clinician’s instructions and to report side effects promptly.

9.Emergency Care

Telehealth is not appropriate for medical emergencies. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room for chest pain, suicidal thoughts, severe allergic reactions, signs of stroke, or any life-threatening symptom.

10.Acknowledgement

By completing intake and continuing to use the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to this Informed Consent.

Important Medical Disclaimer

Emergencies. This service does not replace emergency medical care. If you have a medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room immediately.

No physician–patient relationship from intake alone. The assessment available on the Zepym Health website does not, by itself, create a physician–patient relationship between the individual completing the assessment and Zepym Health or its Affiliated Medical Group. Clinicians of the Affiliated Medical Group adhere to clinical protocols designed for patient safety and use exclusionary criteria to determine whether an individual is not a candidate for GLP-1 therapy. Answers provided in the assessment may screen an individual out of eligibility. A licensed Clinician will review your intake after checkout to determine whether you qualify for a prescription. Clinicians retain sole authority over the decision to prescribe.

Customer claims & individual results. Claims and benefits referenced on this website refer to self-reported data from customers on a treatment plan that includes GLP-1 medications and consultations with medical professionals. Customers reported their weight on the initial intake and approximately every 3–4 weeks thereafter. Results may vary and are affected by adherence to the program and Clinician recommendations. Inches lost from hips, waist, chest, thighs and arms, where mentioned, are not typical and reflect individuals who also followed a reduced-calorie diet and regular exercise. Consult a healthcare professional before using any medication or beginning a weight-loss program.

Compounded medications. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved, and the FDA does not verify the safety, effectiveness, or quality of compounded drugs before they are marketed. Where clinically appropriate, a licensed Clinician may prescribe a compounded medication prepared by a state-licensed compounding pharmacy operating under Section 503A. A compounded medication is only prescribed when a Clinician determines it is medically appropriate, based on a telehealth consultation and your medical history. Nothing on this website is intended to state or imply that any compounded medication is FDA-approved, proven, or guaranteed to be safe or effective. We encourage prospective users to discuss the specific risks and benefits with their Clinician. Zepym Health does not manufacture compounded medications, and you may receive medication that looks different than what is depicted on the website.

Pricing & coverage. The initial assessment is free for end users. Eligibility for insurance reimbursement or copay assistance is determined at the time of the visit and is not guaranteed.

Pharmacy partners. Zepym Health partners with U.S.-licensed pharmacies to dispense and ship medications. Our team coordinates regularly with these partners regarding inventory, shipping, and medication testing.

Medication & trademarks. Where included, medication is part of the cost of the Zepym Health program. All third-party trademarks, service marks, and trade names are the property of their respective owners and are not affiliated with Zepym Health. Medical treatment is provided by the Affiliated Medical Group and its independently contracted Clinicians.

State licensing. Care is delivered only in U.S. states where the Affiliated Medical Group’s Clinicians are licensed. The practice of medicine is governed by the laws of the state where the patient is located at the time of the encounter.

AI-assisted content. Certain materials on this website, including text, images, and other media, may be generated or enhanced using artificial intelligence. No representation or warranty is made regarding the accuracy or completeness of such content. Individuals appearing in advertisements may be actors or models.

Testimonials. Testimonials on this website are from Zepym Health patients. To protect patient privacy, images representing those testimonials may use models. No data, photos, claims or other information shown are derived from clinical trials, studies or public information and are not always representative of the Zepym Health patient experience.
