Referral Program Legal Disclaimer

1. Program Overview

The YourMD Provider Referral Program is designed to facilitate patient access to physician-led telehealth services delivered by licensed Providers at United Medical Group. This program is structured in compliance with applicable federal and state laws, including the Federal Anti-Kickback Statute (42 U.S.C. § 1320a-7b), the Physician Self-Referral Law (Stark Law), and applicable state referral and fee-splitting regulations in Nevada, Washington, and Oregon.

2. Zero Referral Compensation

No referring provider, pharmacy, clinic, or individual receives financial compensation, payment, or anything of value from YourMD Online, LLC, United Medical Group, or any affiliated entity in exchange for patient referrals to YourMD Telehealth.

Referral participation is entirely voluntary and does not create any obligation to refer, nor does the volume or value of referrals affect any aspect of the relationship between YourMD and the referring provider. No fee, commission, bonus, rebate, discount, gift, entertainment, or other remuneration of any kind is, has been, or will be paid in connection with patient referrals.

Any patient promotional discounts offered through this program are provided directly to the patient and are not contingent upon or attributable to any referring provider's compensation. A promotional discount applied to a patient's first subscription cycle is a patient benefit and is not a kickback to the referring party.

3. Independent Clinical Judgment

All clinical decisions — including whether to prescribe medication, which medication to prescribe, the dose, the duration, and whether to continue or discontinue treatment — are made independently by YourMD Providers based solely on their medical judgment and the individual patient's clinical needs. No referring party has any authority, influence, or veto over clinical decisions.

A referral to YourMD does not guarantee that a Provider will prescribe any medication. A Provider may decline to prescribe based on medical history, contraindications, or clinical judgment, with no further obligation to the patient or the referring party.

4. No Agency, Employment, or Joint Venture

Referring providers, pharmacies, and other referral sources are not agents, employees, partners, or representatives of YourMD Online, LLC or United Medical Group. Participation in the Referral Program does not constitute a joint venture, partnership, employment relationship, or any other legal association beyond the non-compensated referral relationship described here.

5. Conflict of Interest

YourMD Telehealth does not accept referrals where the referring provider has a financial interest in the outcome of the referral beyond the ordinary course of their clinical practice. Providers with a financial interest in YourMD, its affiliates, its compounding pharmacy partners, or any medication supplied through the program must disclose that interest before referring any patient and may be excluded from participation at YourMD's sole discretion.

6. Referring Provider Acknowledgment

By enrolling as a referring provider, you acknowledge and agree to the following:

• Participation in the YourMD Provider Referral Program is voluntary and you will not receive any financial compensation, referral fees, or payments of any kind from YourMD Telehealth, United Medical Group, or any affiliated entity in connection with patient referrals.
• Any patient promotional discounts are provided directly to the patient, not to you.
• Your decision to refer patients is based solely on your clinical judgment that YourMD's services may benefit your patient, and no aspect of your referral activity is conditioned upon or influenced by any financial arrangement.
• YourMD physicians make all prescribing and treatment decisions independently, and you have no authority over those decisions.
• You will comply with all applicable federal and state healthcare laws, including the Federal Anti-Kickback Statute (42 U.S.C. § 1320a-7b) and state fee-splitting prohibitions in your state of practice, in connection with your participation.
• You will not represent to any patient that you will receive anything of value in exchange for the referral, and you will not use the YourMD relationship to solicit remuneration from any other party.
• You authorize YourMD to track the referral source for internal analytics purposes only.

7. Patient-Facing Disclosure

If you were referred to YourMD by another healthcare provider, please know that your referring provider does not receive any payment or financial incentive for this referral. Your care at YourMD is completely independent — our physicians will evaluate your health needs and make treatment recommendations based solely on your individual medical situation. You are under no obligation to use YourMD's services, and your relationship with your referring provider is not affected by whether or not you choose to proceed with treatment through our platform.

You may at any time ask your Provider, or email privacy@yourmd.online, to confirm whether any payment has been made to your referring provider in connection with your care. The answer will always be no.

8. Pharmacy Partner Referrals

When a pharmacy partner refers a patient to YourMD for a prescribing consultation, no financial consideration is exchanged between YourMD and the pharmacy in connection with the referral itself. YourMD physicians independently determine whether to prescribe medication based on clinical evaluation. If a prescription is issued, the patient or YourMD (depending on the billing model) selects the dispensing pharmacy. Referral of a patient to YourMD does not guarantee that a prescription will be written, does not guarantee that any specific pharmacy will receive the prescription, and does not create any obligation for YourMD to direct prescriptions to the referring pharmacy.

9. Clinical Information Sharing with Referring Providers

With the patient's express written authorization, YourMD may share relevant clinical information (treatment plan, medication prescribed, lab results, and progress updates) with the referring provider for care coordination purposes. This sharing is:

• Limited to information relevant to the referred treatment.
• Contingent on explicit written authorization from the patient, which the patient may revoke at any time by contacting privacy@yourmd.online.
• Logged in our HIPAA audit trail (45 CFR 164.528 accounting of disclosures).
• Governed by HIPAA and, where applicable, a written Business Associate Agreement between YourMD and the receiving entity.

Revocation of authorization does not affect the legality of disclosures made prior to revocation.

10. Referral Source Tracking

When you arrive at YourMD through a referral link or referral code, we record the referral source in our internal database for program management and analytics. This data is not shared with the referring party in a manner that identifies you unless you provide separate written consent for clinical coordination (see Section 9). Referral source tracking is used for the following purposes only:

• Program management and reporting.
• Internal marketing analytics (aggregated, de-identified).
• Applying any patient-facing promotional discount to your account.
• Coordinating care with your referring provider upon your explicit authorization.

11. Termination and Program Changes

YourMD reserves the right to terminate any referring provider or pharmacy partnership at any time, with or without cause, upon written notice. Grounds for termination include, without limitation: failure to comply with applicable law; misrepresentation of the referral relationship to patients; solicitation of kickbacks from any party; conduct inconsistent with the compliance principles of this program.

YourMD reserves the right to modify the terms of the Referral Program at any time. Material changes will be communicated to enrolled referring providers via the email address on file.

12. State-Specific Notes

• Nevada: NRS 439B governs healthcare referral relationships. Nevada's anti-kickback provisions generally mirror federal AKS. Fee-splitting between physicians and non-physicians is restricted under NRS 630.
• Washington: RCW 19.68 prohibits fee-splitting and kickbacks in healthcare. The YourMD Referral Program does not create any arrangement that could be construed as fee-splitting.
• Oregon: ORS 441 and Oregon Medical Board rules govern physician referral relationships. No payment for referrals is permitted and none is made.
