Through the Site, the Practices and Providers may order genetic tests that will be processed by the Laboratories, review the results of such genetic testing, and provide you with genetic counseling about such results. You understand and agree that the Practices and Providers are solely responsible for the clinical interpretation and counseling services that they provide to you. healthŌme is not responsible for the Practices’ or Providers’ acts, omissions or for any content of the communications made by them. In certain cases, a Provider may recommend that your genetic testing results should be shared with a healthcare provider or requires healthcare services that are not offered by the Practices or Providers, in which case, you will be notified accordingly and you will not be able to use the Services for that clinical issue.

If you wish to be connected with the Practices or Providers through the Site, you understand and agree that you are providing your personal health information to, and receiving genetic testing and counseling from such Practices or Providers, and not healthŌme. Please review our PRIVACY POLICY for more information on healthŌme’s uses and disclosures of your personal data. The Practices and Providers may be governed by federal or applicable State privacy rules that may not be applicable to healthŌme. Please review the Practices’ websites for more information about the Practices’ and Providers’ use and disclosure of your personal data.
