HealthTap may use the geographic information you have provided to HealthTap to determine the availability of Medical Experts licensed in the geographic area where you have indicated that you live, and you: (i) represent and warrant that such information is accurate and complete, and (ii) agree to keep such information up to date. Each Medical Expert reserves the right to refuse service or to stop service at any time for any reason, including in the event the Medical Expert, in his/her professional medical judgment, determines that you should receive medical service from a medical professional in-person or that a Virtual Consult is not appropriate for you pursuant to the standard of care.
- Scheduling, Cancellations and No Shows. You may request to schedule an appointment with the Medical Expert of your choosing via the App ("Appointment"). You will receive a notification through the App when the Appointment has been confirmed. You acknowledge that HealthTap's Medical Experts provide services to multiple users, and that your failure to attend (a "No-Show") or timely cancel an Appointment may prevent that Medical Expert from providing services to another user. Refunds for cancellations and No-Shows will be handled in accordance with HealthTap's then-current policies, available at (https://www.healthtap.com/terms/payment-agreement/).
