Again… What We Do and What We Don't Do

We Support Your Health Decisions through Information. Praxism is designed to support the health decisions and choices that you make. Always use common sense when making health decisions, and consult with your doctor whenever appropriate. Praxism cannot make decisions for you, but can help you find health information. On Praxism you can ask informational questions and find educational answers and health by Medical Experts. Except as may be provided via a Virtual Consult, this information is not medical care and no doctor-patient relationship is created by this use of the free services, such as our Q&A and symptom assessment tools. Content and non-Virtual Care Services on Praxism are not a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or care from your physician. Except as may be provided via a Virtual Consult, information on Praxism is not a substitute for a formal diagnosis, physical examination, or prescription and should not be used to treat a medical condition. Do not ignore or delay obtaining professional medical advice because of information accessed through the Apps.

Please use Praxism's Virtual Consults or see your doctor in person if you are looking for a personal medical evaluation, diagnosis, prescription, or treatment.

We Provide Access to Doctors for Care (Virtual Consults). Via Praxism Virtual Consults, you can obtain care (if you are located in a state where such service is available). Additional terms apply to Virtual Consults. Praxism Virtual Consults may support doctor-patient relationships. Virtual Consults may be used where an ongoing doctor-patient relationship exists, or where a temporary doctor-patient relationship is created by the use of Virtual Consults.

Whenever we use the words "your physician" or "your doctor" or "healthcare provider" or similar words on Praxism, including in these Terms of Use, we mean your personal doctor with whom you have of an actual, mutually acknowledged, doctor/healthcare provider-patient relationship. If you participate in a Virtual Consult on Praxism, you understand and agree that the Medical Experts on Praxism are not your primary care physician, and you agree not to use Praxism Virtual Consults as a substitute for interactions with your primary care physician or health insurance. (Where available, you may also use Virtual Consults with your existing doctor(s).

Again… We're Not for Use in Emergencies. Never use Praxism or Content or Services in a potential or actual medical emergency.

Remember:

  • Always consult with your existing psychologist or doctor or healthcare provider or use a Virtual Consult whenever you have a personal question about a medical condition or symptom.

  • Never disregard professional medical advice, or delay seeking medical advice or treatment, because of something you read or learn on Praxism.

Guidelines Specific to Virtual Consults and Other Paid Services

  • Treatment. You agree not to make demands for treatment from a Medical Expert on Praxism.

  • Care. Medical care (including Virtual Consults with Medical Experts, prescriptions, diagnosis, or treatment recommendations) is available on Praxism, and you agree that such care is limited to medically necessary and appropriate care, as determined by the treating Medical Expert.

  • Care Limitations. You may use Virtual Consults regarding discrete and episodic medical issues. Examples of inappropriate uses of Virtual Consults are (but are not limited to) use of Virtual Consults to replace or obtain: emergency care; in-person routine physicals and vaccinations (except for vaccines that can be ordered for you to get at a pharmacy); health verifications or disability forms that require an in-person exam; in-person tests or screenings, such as Pap smears, breast exams, prostate exams, and strep throat swabs; lifestyle treatments, such as medication for smoking cessation, losing weight, stopping addiction, and erectile dysfunction; and ongoing care of chronic conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis, anxiety, depression, epilepsy, lupus, and chronic pain (except for medical advice of a limited nature); as well as falsifying your location, doctor-shopping or otherwise repeating consults for the same issue. We reserve the right to review your usage and to suspend or terminate your Praxism account if we find that you have misused Virtual Consults. Our conclusions based on those reviews are final.

  • Prescriptions and Lab Tests. You agree that you do not have a right to expect, demand, or to receive any particular prescription or lab test when using Praxism. Prescriptions and lab tests, where available, are provided at the sole discretion of the consulting Medical Expert. Patients who are located outside Bangladesh may not receive lab orders and may receive prescription recommendations only.

  • Prescriptions and Lab Tests Limitations. You understand and agree that not all prescriptions and lab tests are available using Praxism.

  • Duration of Treatment. You agree that the duration of any treatment prescribed or recommended may be limited. It is up to the consulting Medical Expert to determine the appropriate duration of any treatment, if any, made available through a Virtual Consult. Where prescriptions are provided, they may be a short-course to hold you over until you are able to consult with your regular doctor.

  • Dress Code. You agree to be appropriately dressed and to show personal or private body parts only when it is of medical relevance to do so.

Reservation of Rights

  • Rejection and Removal of content. Subject to applicable law and any related limitations, we reserve the right to review any submission or Content on our Apps and Services, and to not post such Content or to remove or request the removal of any Content for any reason, at any time, without prior notice, at our sole discretion.

  • You agree that Medical Experts performing Virtual Consults may prescribe allowed medications in such Virtual Consults when in the Medical Expert's sole judgement it is medically appropriate to do so.

You agree to maintain up-to-date medication information in your Health Profile on Praxism so that consulting Medical Experts may know your medication history.

  • You understand and agree that Praxism and Praxism Practitioners are not responsible for disconnections or connection quality issues you may experience during Virtual Consults as a result of your mobile device's or computer's internet connectivity.

  • 24/7 Doctor Visits offer primary-care consults from Medical Experts only via the Praxism Apps. Specialist care is not available.

Praxism's Premium Plan may not cover the cost of 24/7 Doctor Visits that originated from searching for a specific doctor or specialty.
