I, the patient, acknowledge that I am independently selecting on my own behalf (or minor child’s behalf as parent or guardian) to participate in COVID-19 testing from the SPONSOR of this test (employer, school, stated meeting/ event sponsor), and INHOUSE PHYSICIANS. I agree to waive and release any and all claims, actions, causes of action, demands, expenses, or liabilities of whatsoever kind and nature, including without limitation, consequential loss, attorney’s fees and expenses, court costs, and costs of investigation, against the SPONSOR as well as its employees, agents, officers and directors, which may arise out of the COVID-19 testing provided by the SPONSOR and the IHP, its employees, agents, officers, or contractors. Upon referral to another medical provider, by IHP, you further hereby release IHP and its employees, agents, officers, directors and shareholders, from and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities or expenses arising, in whole or in part, out of care or treatment by the medical provider to whom the referral was made.

The above waiver and release is not intended to waive your rights to workers’ compensation benefits for which you may become eligible as a result of any work-related injury, nor is it intended to waive your rights to any benefits you or other covered person might have under a company sponsored insurance benefit or medical plan.

Consent and Representations

You hereby represent that you have carefully read the above information regarding informed consent and fully understand the implications thereof. You hereby consent to the conditions outlined above concerning delivery of medical testing to you and the sharing of your testing result to the testing SPONSOR and the local health department, as necessary.

We may use and disclose your PHI for our healthcare operations, which include internal administration and planning and various activities that improve the quality and cost effectiveness of the care that we deliver to you. For example, we may use PHI to evaluate the quality and competence of our physicians, nurses and other healthcare workers. We may also disclose PHI to your other healthcare providers when such PHI is required for them to treat you, receive payment for services they render to you, or conduct certain healthcare operations, such as quality assessment and improvement activities, reviewing the quality and competence of healthcare professionals, or for healthcare fraud and abuse detection or compliance.

B. Disclosure to Relatives, Close Friends and Other Caregivers. We may use or disclose your PHI to a family member, other relative, a close personal friend or any other person identified by you when you are present for, or otherwise available prior to, the disclosure, if we (1) obtain your agreement; (2) provide you with the opportunity to object to the disclosure and you do not object; or (3) reasonably infer that you do not object to the disclosure. If you are not present, or the opportunity to agree or object to a use or disclosure cannot practicably be provided because of your incapacity or an emergency circumstance, we may exercise our professional judgment to determine whether a disclosure is in your best interests. If we disclose information to a family member, other relative or a close personal friend, we would disclose only information that we believe is directly relevant to the person’s involvement with your healthcare or payment related to your healthcare. We may also disclose your PHI in order to notify (or assist in notifying) such persons of your location, general condition or death.

C. Public Health Activities. We may disclose your PHI for the following public health activities: (1) to report health information to public health authorities for the purpose of preventing or controlling disease, injury or disability; (2) to report child abuse and neglect to public health authorities or other government authorities authorized by law to receive such reports; (3) to report information about products and services under the jurisdiction of the U. S. Food and Drug Administration; (4) to alert a person who may have been exposed to a communicable disease or may otherwise be at risk of contracting or spreading a disease or condition; and (5) to report information to your employer as required under laws addressing work- related illnesses and injuries or workplace medical surveillance.
