1. The AIDS Healthcare Foundation (“AHF”) is the sole member of Pharmacy4Humanity (“P4H”). Both AHF and P4H operate pharmacies under the business name AHF Pharmacy. Your prescription may be filled by any AHF Pharmacy.
2. AHF cannot ensure the security of messages sent by email or text, as these messages travel over the internet, and we have no control over the security of the device that receives the messages. Upon request, we may be able to arrange for the transmission of encrypted emails. Please contact your AHF Pharmacy team if you prefer this option.
3. AHF will exhaust all available means and resources to avoid you paying “out of pocket” for medications that your insurance plan does not pay for or that require a co-payment of one kind or another. Please contact your AHF Pharmacy Team if you wish to “opt-out” of this service.
4. By completing and signing this form, you authorize AHF Pharmacy and staff to send protected healthcare information to you and receive that information from you by email, messaging apps, other electronic tools and/or text messaging that could include, for example, information about prescriptions, test results, diagnoses, appointments details and reminders. By signing this authorization, you accept any risk involved in sending your health information by email, messaging apps, other electronic tools, and/or text messaging. Even if you opt to communicate with us by email, messenger apps, other electronic tools, or text messaging, you will always be able to communicate with us by phone and U.S. mail.
5. By completing and signing this form, you authorize AHF Pharmacy and staff to send you information regarding the medications you are taking and receiving from AHF Pharmacy, in an electronic format. If you wish to receive hard copy (paper) forms, please notify your AHF Pharmacist.
6. If you authorize AHF Pharmacy to leave packages delivered to your stated address and you are not at the address to receive them, you must sign via an electronic method that AHF Pharmacy will provide to you. Not completing this signed document in a timely manner may result in a delay in you receiving your next refill.
7. There are certain medications that will require a signature (“proof of delivery”), at the time of delivery. The package cannot be left without the signature. We will inform you of a package being shipped that you or your designated person must sign for. In this instance, an electronic signature method may not be used. For example: Signatures are required for Class II controlled substances, narcotics, and medications valued at $5,000.00 and above. Signature-required orders are shipped “Signature Confirmation.”
8. If we cannot reach you to continue providing service to you, AHF Pharmacy may have an AHF Pharmacy employee (usually a Pharmacy Services Liaison) to see if you have moved or changed provider, or we may communicate with the “Alternate Contact Person” you have designated in this document.
9. The law requires AHF Pharmacy, from time to time, to send you certain types of regulatory notices. If you elect to place a “do not contact” request on your file, you must specify an alternate address to receive these notices. That address may be the pharmacy itself, your doctor’s office, or another address of your choice. If you do not specify an alternate address, we will be required to send these notifications to your mailing address on record.
10. “I acknowledge that from time to time, the Pharmacy is required to send certain legal and regulatory notices to me (each, a “Notice”). I further acknowledge that these Notices are mandatory, and the Pharmacy is required to send them even if I have indicated a “do-not=-contact” request. Accordingly, by checking the box below, I am designating Pharmacy as my address of record for receiving these Notices. I understand that if I decline to make this designation, then the Pharmacy will send the Notices to my regular address on file.”
11. I received and agree to the {Notice of Privacy Practices}. A copy of the Notice of Privacy Practices and welcome packet will be included in your confirmation email.
