It allows Members to make certain inquiries about legal, health, regulatory, medical billing, and coding, and/or operational and logistics issues. Communications between Members and consultants available through HIIP will be protected by the HIIP Privacy Policy; but not by the attorney-client privilege or as an attorney work product. HIIP provides access to independent attorneys, however, it is clarified that;

 

HIIP IS NOT A LAW FIRM OR A SUBSTITUTE FOR A LAWYER OR LAW FIRM. HIIP CANNOT PROVIDE ANY KIND OF ADVICE, EXPLANATION, OPINION OR RECOMMENDATION ON POSSIBLE LEGAL RIGHTS, REMEDIES, DEFENSES, OPTIONS, SELECTION OF FORMS OR STRATEGIES.

 

AT HIIP WE DO NOT GIVE OR RECOMMEND ANY MEDICAL ADVICE. HIIP DOES NOT IMPOSE OR REFER ITS USERS TO ANY HEALTH CARE PROVIDER USING THIS SITE OR GIVES MEDICAL ADVICE.

 

HIIP IS NOT AN INSURANCE ENTITY NOR DOES IT PROVIDE MEDICAL SERVICES COVERAGE, WHEN REQUIRED BY USERS.

You understand that HIIP is not a health care or health services provider, and does not provide medical, health or other professional advice or services.

 

You understand that the healthcare providers, such as hospitals and physicians or other healthcare professionals, that you access through HIIP coordination services are not employees of HIIP and do not provide services on behalf of HIIP, but rather that they are independent professionals who are solely responsible for the services that each one provides.

H.H. 160-164, regarding the handling and disclosure of HIIP member’s protected information.

 

By accepting these terms of use and using the HIIP website, any and all persons or entities that are subject to health privacy statutes, regulations, or other privacy laws (for example, “covered entities” under HIPAA) you hereby acknowledge, understand, and agree that, unless agreed in writing, HIIP strictly prohibits your entry of “protected health information” (PHI) into it whether or not it is on behalf of any user or registrar of the company.

 

 

Uptime: keep the platform active:

 

HIIP will do its best to ensure that you have the best possible experience when visiting the platform and using the service or services provided. However, Internet service may experience delays, downtime, or interruptions from time to time. Therefore, you acknowledge that, although the Internet is often a secure environment, there are sometimes interruptions in the service or services provided; or events that are beyond the control of HIIP, and that HIIP will not be responsible for data lost during the transmission of information on the Internet.

 

While the goal of HIIP is to make the platform accessible 24/7, it may not be available from time to time for any reason, including, but not limited to, routine maintenance. You understand and acknowledge that due to circumstances both within and beyond HIIP’s control, access to the site may be interrupted, suspended, or canceled from time to time.

 

HIIP will have the exclusive right at any time to change or discontinue any aspect or feature of its platform, including, but not limited to, content, hours of availability, and equipment necessary for access or use. In addition, HIIP may interrupt the dissemination of any piece of information or category of information, it may change or eliminate any method of transmission, and it may change the transmission speeds or other characteristics of the signal.

 

Because the services offered by HIIP are merely a platform, if you have a dispute with one or more members, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law you release HIIP (and our officers, directors, members, employees, agents, and affiliates) of claims, demands and damages (real and consequential) of all kinds and nature, known and unknown, suspected, and unsuspected, disclosed, and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way related to such disputes.

 

If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code 1542, which reads: “a general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.”

 

Intellectual property: What happens to the content you upload?

 

Depending on your country or jurisdiction, the content, and media that you create and upload to the platform may be protected by copyright law. In the United States of America, any original content that you create, and upload may be protected by the Copyright Act 1976, Copyright Act, as amended.

 

Therefore, for HIIP to publish such content, HIIP would need a license from you to reproduce, distribute, adapt, publicly display, perform publicly (as appropriate), and/or modify in any necessary way its protected content (“Content of Member”). Accordingly, by accepting these terms, you agree to grant HIIP a perpetual (forever), non-exclusive, irrevocable, transferable, sublicensable worldwide, to reproduce, distribute, adapt, publicly display, publicly perform (as applicable), and/or modify Member content (through file upload, sharing, posting to the site, or in any other way that you make your member content available on the platform).

Please note that you are solely responsible for all member content that you make available on or through the Site. Any member content you upload must be yours, or alternatively, you must have the author’s permission to use it.

This limited right can be revoked at any time. You may not use HIIP’s trademarks to link to services without HIIP’s express written permission. In addition, you may not use, frame, or use framing techniques to enclose any of HIIP’s trademarks, HIIP content, other proprietary information, including images found on the services, the content of any text or the design of any Page or form contained in a page of the Services/Services provided or the platform without the express written consent of HIIP.
