Service Definition
The Service we Provide. The VyaHealth Service allows users to securely store, organize, and share their health data at their discretion with loved ones or other parties that may require this information (e.g. spouses, caregivers, children, medical providers, etc.). VyaHealth facilitates patient-authorized access to electronic health information consistent with the HIPAA Privacy Rule (45 C.F.R. Section 164.524) and the 21st Century Cures Act. VyaHealth acts solely as an agent of the individual, not as a covered entity or business associate of healthcare providers.
The VyaHealth Service features include but are not limited to health data integration, emergency preparedness, and provider efficiency. VyaHealth aggregates, organizes, and protects a user’s private health information based upon widely recognized data safety technological standards while simultaneously providing a secure platform to share the information with trusted parties at the user’s discretion. In addition, VyaHealth provides its registered users (“Members”) with access to certain exclusive benefits, including actionable health recommendations, information about relevant clinical research, health services or other resources to promote and maintain good health, offered by participating retailers, service providers, employers, benefits administrators, and municipal, state and federal government agencies (“Relying Parties”). Additional benefits and discounts may be offered to eligible parties. To verify whether you qualify, you may be required to provide us with certain personally identifiable information as described in our Privacy Policy. Before VyaHealth provides a third party with your information, you will be asked to authorize the release. You may revoke subsequent access to this information at any time by accessing your account settings.
- Health Data Integration: VyaHealth compiles, organizes, and translates complex health information from various sources into a concise profile.
- Ease of Information Transfer: Eliminates the need for outdated methods like fax machines, creating a secure hub for your health profile, including status, symptoms, scans, test results, treatments, etc.
- Emergency Preparedness: VyaHealth enables you to share critical health information with designated family or caregivers in emergencies, ensuring they have access to your comprehensive health profile.
- Provider Efficiency: VyaHealth aids healthcare providers by presenting a clear, concise, and comprehensive health profile, allowing for quick familiarization and more effective patient visits.
- Data Empowerment: VyaHealth utilizes the data you input to offer actionable insights and recommendations, helping you make the most of each healthcare appointment and own your health.
Prior to using VyaHealth, you must indicate that you understand and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. From time to time, we may request that you reaffirm your understanding and agreement to be bound by these Terms of Service.
How do we do this? VyaHealth maintains an account for you that contains your identity and group affiliation information. Before you are able to use your account, VyaHealth must first verify your identity through a process called identity proofing. As part of the identity proofing process, you must provide us with various forms of information such as your name, date of birth, street address, email address, telephone number, and other personal information.
VyaHealth provides “Unsupervised” identity proofing, where you can sign-up online from a personal computer or mobile device. If we have problems with the identity proofing process, we may ask for further information to help us establish your identity and, in some cases, we may refer Unsupervised applicants to a Trusted Referee, so that they may complete the process in-person. In either case, our identity proofing process meets or exceeds industry best practices and applicable established standards. When we review your forms of identity evidence, we may use special technologies to validate the documents you submit. In addition, to make it easier for you to enter your address, VyaHealth uses Google Maps APIs. By using the VyaHealth Service, you are agreeing that you are bound to the Google Terms of Service and Google Privacy Policy. As further outlined in our Privacy Policy, VyaHealth will not provide your personal information to a third party without your express consent.
Your Obligations
By using the VyaHealth Service, you expressly agree that:
- your identity, as established by the information and documents that you submit, matches the identity you claim while using the VyaHealth Service. Members may direct VyaHealth to share or retrieve their electronic health information from any lawful source, regardless of vendor or network participation. Such direction shall not be restricted, delayed, or conditioned on any electronic health-record (EHR) vendor affiliation or commercial relationship.
- all information provided by you is accurate;
- any recommendations, resources, educational materials, or other benefits (collectively, “Benefits”) are intended for the Member’s personal use. Commercial use of any Benefits for the Member’s financial gain is strictly prohibited.
Members may only use their VyaHealth account to store and manage their own health data, and any use by a party other than the Member or Member’s designate, will be considered a material misrepresentation. VyaHealth, in its sole discretion, may immediately revoke a Member’s VyaHealth account upon learning of a violation of any terms contained herein.

Resolution of Dispute
VyaHealth offers the following process to help you resolve a complaint or Dispute (as defined below) that you may have with VyaHealth, any services offered via the Website or Service, or use of the Website or Service. Please read this section carefully. Our Customer Service Department contact is: admin@VyaHealth.com
Step 1. Notice of Dispute. You must first try to resolve any complaint or Dispute with VyaHealth through VyaHealth’s Notice of Dispute process. You begin by submitting a “Notice of Dispute” with any supporting documents or other information by U.S. Mail to: VyaHealth. Attn: Dispute Resolution Department, 7151 O’Kelly Chapel Rd, #119, Cary NC, 27519. A “Notice of Dispute” is a written form in which you provide your name, address, contact information, email address, the facts regarding your Dispute, and the relief you are requesting from VyaHealth. Once VyaHealth receives your Notice of Dispute, you and VyaHealth will attempt to resolve any Dispute through informal negotiation within sixty (60) days from the date the Notice of Dispute is received by VyaHealth. If an agreement cannot be reached within sixty (60) days, you or VyaHealth may initiate an arbitration proceeding or small claims action as described below.
Step 2. Arbitration. If your Dispute is not resolved to your satisfaction within 60 days from when VyaHealth received your Notice of Dispute, you and VyaHealth agree to arbitrate all Disputes between you and VyaHealth. You agree that arbitration or a small claims action will be your sole and exclusive remedy to resolve any dispute with VyaHealth. The Federal Arbitration Act applies to this Agreement. By agreeing to arbitrate, you are giving up the right to litigate (or participate in as a party or class member) any and all Disputes in a court before a judge or jury (except Small Claims Court). Instead, a neutral arbitrator will resolve all Disputes.
Class Action Waiver. Any proceedings to resolve or litigate any Dispute in any forum will be conducted solely on an individual basis. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, consolidation of your Dispute with other arbitrations, or any other proceeding in which either party acts or proposes to act in a representative capacity or as a private attorney general are not permitted and are waived by you, and an arbitrator will have no jurisdiction to hear such claims. If you initiate an arbitration, VyaHealth will promptly reimburse you for any standard filing fee you may have been required to pay, once you have notified VyaHealth in writing and provided a copy of the arbitration demand. However, if VyaHealth is the prevailing party in the arbitration, VyaHealth will be entitled to seek and recover our attorneys’ fees and costs, subject to the arbitrator’s determination and applicable law.
Small Claims Option. You may also litigate any Dispute in North Carolina, if the Dispute meets all requirements to be heard in the small claims court. However, if you initiate a Small Claims case, you are responsible for all your court costs.
Choice of Law and Forum Selection. You agree that the laws of the State of Delaware govern this agreement and any claim or Dispute or issues arising from it, without regard to Delaware’s conflict of laws rules. Unless you and VyaHealth agree otherwise, in the event that the Agreement to arbitrate above is found not to apply to you or to a particular claim or Dispute as a result of a decision by the arbitrator or a court order, you agree that any Disputes or claims that you may have against VyaHealth reside in and will be resolved by a state or federal court located in Delaware. To the extent federal law governs patient data access and interoperability, the HIPAA Privacy Rule (45 C.F.R. Section 164.524) and the 21st Century Cures Act shall control.
Security and Compliance
VyaHealth adheres to industry-recognized security frameworks, including SOC 2 and/or HITRUST certification, and maintains breach-response and notification procedures consistent with the FTC Health Breach Notification Rule (16 C.F.R. Section 318) and HHS requirements.
Miscellaneous

Any denial or restriction of access by a third-party EHR vendor or network will be documented and, where appropriate, reported to the relevant regulatory authority under the Information Blocking Rule. VyaHealth reserves the right to change these Terms or its policies relating to the Website and VyaHealth Service at any time and from time to time, and such changes will be effective upon being posted herein.
