How To Maximize your muscle build and performance with HRT

Client Agreement and Consent

CLIENT AGREEMENT

I, the undersigned, wish to become a client of Prometheuz HRT (the "Company") and receive treatment from the Company's qualified healthcare professionals (referred to as the Professional Staff, comprising individuals in healthcare-related professions whose primary responsibilities include delivering healthcare services to clients, necessitating the use of medical judgment and discretion).

1. LIABILITY AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY

I acknowledge that I will be self-administering all over-the-counter medications and prescriptions recommended and prescribed by the Professional Staff. These may include various forms such as pills, injections, troches, patches, or nasal sprays. I understand that I will receive guidance on how to self-administer these medications and prescriptions. If I choose not to self-administer, I may visit the Company's facility for assistance, though additional fees may apply. I recognize that self-administration is done at my own risk, and neither the Company nor the Professional Staff shall be liable for any injuries or damages resulting from this, nor subject to any claims, demands, actions, causes of actions, or damages. I, along with my personal representatives, heirs, administrators, assigns, and successors, hereby release and forever discharge the Company, its successors, officers, agents, and employees from all such claims, demands, actions, causes of actions, or damages.

2. THERAPY

Before beginning any therapy offered by the Company, clients are required to undergo bloodwork. Upon receiving results, the Professional Staff will review them to create a personalized health optimization plan using recommended therapies. These therapies are based solely on the client's bloodwork, not personal opinions. It is important to note that these therapies are not guaranteed to be 100% effective, and the Company and Professional Staff are not liable for any side effects, outcomes, diseases, or even death potentially associated with these therapies.

3. FEES

Fees vary based on the lab package chosen and the medications prescribed by the Professional Staff. Prometheuz HRT offers several package options, details of which are available at https://prometheuzhrt.com/. These packages include options tailored to different needs and budgets.

• Bronze ($155.00), Silver ($305.00), and (3) Gold ($405.00). I understand the medications prescribed vary in price and may be prescribed on a subscription basis.
• I agree that all services provided by the Professional Staff and/or the Company will be billed directly to me. I am personally responsible for the full payment of these services. I understand that if I suspend or terminate treatment, any fees for professional services rendered up to that point will be due immediately. Payment in full is required at the time of each session, consultation or upon ordering any product.
• I acknowledge that Prometheuz HRT reserves the right to charge a no-show/cancellation fee if I fail to attend or cancel a scheduled appointment without providing 24-hour prior notice. Furthermore, I understand that Prometheuz HRT may reschedule my appointment if I am over 15 minutes late.

5. SUSPENSION/TERMINATION OF CLIENT/COMPANY RELATIONSHIP

Prometheuz HRT reserves the right to suspend or terminate my client relationship for reasons including non-payment of sessions, consultations, prescription orders, inappropriate behavior towards staff, non-compliance with treatment plans, or any other reason deemed sufficient at the Company's discretion.

6. CANCELLATION, REFUNDS

Prometheuz HRT maintains a strict no-refund policy. By purchasing services and/or products, I authorize the Professional Staff and/or Company to order products for my treatment, including prescriptions, in advance. I understand these products may have short shelf lives and require timed ordering. If I choose to cancel any purchased product(s), the Company may approve the cancellation, but I will remain responsible for the full cost of the already ordered product(s), and I understand that refunds are not provided in such cases.

7. ENTIRE AGREEMENT

This agreement represents the complete and exclusive understanding between Prometheuz HRT and me. Any promise, representation, understanding, oral or written, not included herein, is waived.

CLIENT CONSENT TO EVALUATION AND TREATMENT

• I, the undersigned, hereby request and consent to evaluations and treatments by Prometheuz HRT's Professional Staff, defined as individuals retained by the Company, qualified in healthcare-related professions, whose primary responsibilities include delivering healthcare services requiring medical judgment and discretion.
• I acknowledge that at this stage, no specific treatment plan has been recommended. A personalized treatment plan will be formulated by the Professional Staff at Prometheuz HRT after evaluating my individual needs. This consent authorizes the Professional Staff to conduct necessary medical evaluations, testing, and treatments. I understand my right to be informed about my diagnosis, treatment options, and to make informed decisions about undergoing any recommended treatment, understanding its potential benefits and risks.

I understand that I can address any questions regarding potential side effects, complications, or specific treatment areas to the Professional Staff during my evaluation and treatment.
• I recognize that the practice of medicine is not an exact science and agree that the fees paid are for the performance of medical services, not for guaranteed results. While expecting a favorable outcome and understanding that realistic expectations have been established, I acknowledge that there can be no warranty, either expressed or implied, regarding the results that may be achieved.
• This consent is intended to cover the full course of treatment and will remain effective until revoked in writing. To revoke consent, I must contact Prometheuz HRT via email or mail, as detailed in their Notice of Privacy Practices.

INFORMED CONSENT FOR OFF-LABEL DRUG USE

I, the undersigned, acknowledge and agree as follows:

When a medication or device is authorized for medical use by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), its manufacturer provides a label detailing its intended use. Once approved, physicians may use these products "off-label" for other purposes, provided they are well-informed about the product, base its use on sound scientific methods and medical evidence, and maintain records of use and effects.

The Professional Staff at Prometheuz HRT, defined as qualified healthcare professionals with responsibilities including delivering healthcare services, may use certain drugs off-label, particularly in obesity management. These may include Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and other peptides. While not FDA approved for long-term obesity management, there are studies demonstrating the safety and efficacy of these medications in this context, with no long-term cardiovascular risks or withdrawal issues. These studies are available upon request.

Purpose of Off-Label Drug Use:

The intention of using specific drugs off-label is to treat my medical conditions and enhance my quality of life. The Professional Staff may prescribe medications for various conditions, including but not limited to Andropause, Male hypogonadism, low testosterone, erectile dysfunction (ED), anxiety, stress, anger, depression, sleep disturbances, weight loss, among others.

No Guarantees or Assurances Regarding Results from Treatment

Neither the Professional Staff nor Prometheuz HRT provides any guarantees or assurances about specific results from treatments and medications.

Adverse Reactions

Treatments and medications may cause side effects, which can vary in intensity among individuals.

Potential side effects of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) and other peptides might include acne, enlargement of penis and testes, headache, restlessness or irritability, growth of pubic hair, mild swelling or water weight gain, depression, and breast tenderness or swelling.

Client's Responsibility in Case of Adverse Reactions

I am responsible for reporting any significant adverse reactions from medications or treatments to the Professional Staff and/or Prometheuz HRT. These should be reported during normal business hours. However, if the reaction is severe, I should seek immediate medical attention.

In case of experiencing significant adverse reactions from medications or treatments outside business hours, I agree to IMMEDIATELY contact the emergency department of my local hospital or call 911.

Treatment

Treatment and medications will only be provided if a clinical need is established. This determination is based on one or more factors: physician consultation, physical examination, and current medical history.

INFORMED CONSENT FOR TELEMEDICINE SERVICES

INTRODUCTION

Telemedicine at Prometheuz HRT involves using electronic communications to enable healthcare providers at different locations to exchange patient medical information to improve care. This includes primary care practitioners, specialists, and subspecialists.

The information used in telemedicine may include:

• Patient medical records
• Medical images
• Live two-way audio and video
• Data from medical devices, sound, and video files

We use electronic systems with network and software security protocols to protect the confidentiality of patient identification and imaging data, and include measures to safeguard the data against corruption.

EXPECTED BENEFITS

• Improved access to medical care, allowing patients to remain in their own office or at a remote site while physicians obtain test results and consultations from healthcare practitioners at other locations.
• More efficient medical evaluation and management.
• Access to the expertise of distant specialists.

POSSIBLE RISKS

As with any medical procedure, telemedicine carries potential risks. These include, but are not limited to:

• In rare cases, the transmitted information may not be sufficient (e.g., poor resolution of images) to allow for appropriate medical decision-making.
• Delays in medical evaluation and treatment could result from equipment deficiencies or failures.
• In very rare instances, security protocols might fail, leading to a breach of privacy concerning personal medical information.
• A lack of access to complete medical records may, in rare cases, lead to adverse drug interactions, allergic reactions, or judgment errors.

BY SIGNING THIS FORM, I ACKNOWLEDGE THE FOLLOWING:

1. I understand that privacy and confidentiality laws applicable to medical information also extend to telemedicine, and no identifying information obtained through telemedicine will be disclosed without my consent.
2. I reserve the right to withhold or withdraw consent to telemedicine at any time, without impacting my right to future care or treatment.
3. I have the right to inspect and obtain copies of information recorded during telemedicine interactions, subject to a reasonable fee.
4. I am aware of alternative methods of medical care available to me and can choose one or more of these options at any time.
5. Telemedicine may involve the electronic communication of my personal medical information to other medical practitioners, potentially in different locations or out of state.
6. I will inform my physician of any electronic interactions I have with other healthcare providers regarding my care.
7. While I may anticipate benefits from the use of telemedicine, I understand that no results can be guaranteed or assured.
8. I confirm that I am located in the state of [State Name] and will be present in [State Name] during all telehealth encounters.

PATIENT CONSENT TO THE USE OF TELEMEDICINE

I have read and understood the information provided above regarding telemedicine.
