MyLGHealth Terms & Conditions

Lancaster General Health ("LG Health") is pleased to offer you the capability of a patient
portal called MyLGHealth. MyLGHealth allows patients of LG Health physician services and
Community Connect affiliated practices to gain access to parts of their medical record and
communicate with their physician office online. Access to the MyLGHealth system is
contingent upon your total agreement to the terms and conditions detailed here.

It is important for you to know how LG Health handles information communicated via the
Internet. This Terms & Conditions statement outlines LG Health’s practices regarding your
right to privacy, as well as specific information about how the MyLGHealth system differs
from other websites you might use. LG Health reserves the right to revoke your access to
MyLGHealth at any time for any reason.

Conditions

1.

You understand that MyLGHealth is NOT to be used in an emergency situation.

2.

You understand that MyLGHealth is intended as a secure online source of
confidential medical information. If you share your MyLGHealth ID and password
with another person, that person may be able to view your information or the health
information of someone who has authorized you as a Proxy.

3.

You agree that it is your responsibility to select a confidential password, to maintain
your password in a secure manner, and to change your password if you believe it
may have been compromised in any way.

4.

You understand that LG Health may use a secure 3rd-party service third party to
confirm your identity. You may be required to answer security questions to confirm
your identity. These questions are provided by a secure 3rd-party service that has
direct access to various public information sources (appraisal districts, bureaus of
vital statistics, county records, etc.). The content of these questions is publicly
available and can be retrieved legally by any requesting party. The subject matter
typically relates to property ownership and family relationships. These are "top of
mind" questions, meaning that a person whose identity is being validated should be
able to correctly answer from his/her own memory. The presentation of questions
and your responses to them are all secured with 128-bit encryption.

5.

You understand that MyLGHealth contains select medical information from your
medical record and that MyLGHealth does not reflect the complete contents of the
medical record. You also understand that a paper copy of your medical record may
be requested from your physician office.

6.

You understand that MyLGHealth is not guaranteed to be available; system
unavailability may occur at any time.

7.

You understand that your activities within MyLGHealth may be tracked by computer
audit and that entries you make may become part of your medical record.

8.

You understand that access to MyLGHealth is provided by LG Health as a
convenience to its patients and LG Health has the right to deactivate your access to
MyLGHealth at any time for any reason. You understand that use of MyLGHealth is
voluntary and you are not required to use MyLGHealth or to authorize proxy access.

9.

You understand the capabilities within the MyLGHealth system may change, based
on patient feedback or other factors. Notices may be posted on the MyLGHealth
login screen indicting major changes to the system; you may also receive an e-mail
containing details regarding a system change.

10.

You understand that in order for you to use MyLGHealth, an Internet connection and
e-mail address are required. E-mail addresses can be acquired at no charge from a
number of websites such as www.yahoo.com and www.gmail.com. [1]

11.

Malicious software, often referred to as "spyware," "adware," "malware," or
"viruses" may compromise the security of the connection between your computer
and the MyLGHealth server. You should take reasonable precautions to ensure any
computer accessing the MyLGHealth server is free of such software. This may be
accomplished by installing security software to detect malicious software, or taking
other steps to safeguard the security of the computer as instructed by a computer
specialist.

Response to Electronic Communication

Your physician office will make its best effort to provide a timely response to electronic
inquiries. In some cases, the physician office staff that responds to an electronic inquiry or
other communication may not be immediately available, so you should allow at least two
(2) business days (Monday-Friday) for a response. Accordingly, emergency situations
requiring immediate attention should not be submitted electronically; if you are
experiencing an emergency medical situation, please dial 9-1-1 for help.

Furthermore, with respect to any electronic communications sent by you, your physician
office is only able to respond to such communications based on the information provided
by you. If there is insufficient information provided, your physician office will be unable to
provide accurate and reliable services. It is at the sole discretion of the physician office to
request you schedule an office visit, as opposed to discussing medical information
electronically.

Web Site Links

MyLGHealth may offer links to related medical Web sites not managed by LG Health. These
Web site link(s) are for your informational purposes only. LG Health does not endorse and
has not verified the accuracy of the information in/on these Web sites, and you should not
rely on any of the information found on the Web sites for purposes of treatment or
diagnosis.

Minor Eligibility

An individual must be age 18 or older to request a personal account. Parents or guardians
of minor children may request access to their minor child's account by following the terms
outlined in the "Proxy Access" section of this Terms and Conditions statement. Minor
children up to and including the age of 17 will not be eligible to participate in the full
spectrum of MyLGHealth services. Under State and Federal law, there are certain types of
medical information that the parent or guardian of a minor patient may not view without
consent of the minor. Because of these requirements, LG Health cannot offer the full
spectrum of services to parents of minors in this age category. Thus, when a minor reaches
age 12, restrictions will be placed on MyLGHealth access until the minor reaches age 18.

Proxy Access

Individuals age 18 or older may request proxy access to another individual’s MyLGHealth
account by completing the Proxy Access portion of the MyLGHealth Consent Form and
submitting it to the physician office of the patient whose records you wish to have proxy
access. Such access will only be granted to parents of minors and others with legal
authority to access the records being sought. Only one person will be granted proxy access
to a MyLGHealth account. A MyLGHealth account will be activated for both the proxy and
the account holder. If the proxy’s legal relationship with the account holder changes, the
proxy must inform the physician office immediately. LG Health reserves the right to revoke
proxy access at any time for any reason.

E-mail Privacy

You will be notified via e-mail when there is new medical information to be viewed in your
MyLGHealth account. This means that any person with access to your e-mail will be able to
see this notification. Although no private medical information will be sent via e-mail, the
notification that new medical information is available may be information that you would
not want others to know. Thus, you should take this into account when providing an e-mail
address.

Please know that if you send an e-mail communication via MyLGHealth, it may be shared
with the physician office staff that assists the physician in providing your medical care.
Your confidential medical information on MyLGHealth will be accessible only to
appropriate clinical staff in the course of your care.

LG Health may use the information that we’ve collected in our database to promote health
and wellness topics that may pertain to your interests. You can choose to opt-out from
receiving these email communications by clicking on the unsubscribe link on the emails,
email us at webservices@lghealth.org to get your email address
removed from the list. Unsubscribing from health and wellness promotional emails will not
unsubscribe you from receiving notifications regarding new medical information, such as
test results, in your MyLGHealth account.

Security and Confidentiality

LG Health is committed to protecting the confidentiality of your medical information. LG
Health limits physician office staff’s access and ability to enter or view information based
upon their role in your care. Firewalls, passwords, encryption, and audit trails are further
used to safeguard your information. LG Health shall identify the records released and note
the time and date of access each time you access MyLGHealth. LG Health has taken steps
to make all information received from its online visitors as secure as possible against
unauthorized access and use.

MyLGHealth must be accessed with a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) compatible browser or
terminal (Internet Explorer versions 5.0 or greater). LG Health’s SSL web server uses
authentication and offers the highest level of encryption technology commercially
available (128-bit RC4).

You can tell when you are securely connected to the web server by looking at the location
(URL) field. If the URL begins with https:// (instead of http://), the document comes from a
secure server. This means your data is encrypted, and is not easily deciphered by
unauthorized parties. You can tell whether you are truly connected to LG Health by viewing
the digital certificate. This certificate verifies the connection between the LG Health
server's public key and the server's identification.

User names and passwords provide two layers of authentication and are stored in an
encrypted database that is isolated from the Internet. As a MyLGHealth user, your role in
maintaining the security of your medical information is: 1) Changing your password on a
regular basis, and 2) Keeping your login ID and password confidential. It is important to
ensure the password you select is easy for you to remember, but difficult for someone else
to guess. DO NOT USE your birth date, social security number, address, telephone number,
names of spouses, children, family members, pets, or any other easily guessed
information. Your password must be "strong" in that it must be at least 8 characters in
length, and contain at least one number. It is recommended you change your password on
a regular basis.

Third Party Authentication

LG Health engages a 3rd-party vendor to identify and authenticate new users of
MyLGHealth. You may be required to answer questions to confirm your identity. These
questions are provided by a secure 3rd-party service that has direct access to various
public information sources (appraisal districts, bureaus of vital statistics, county records,
etc.). The content of these questions is publicly available and can be retrieved legally by
any requesting party. The subject matter typically relates to property ownership and family
relationships. These are "top of mind" questions, meaning that a person whose identity is
being validated should be able to correctly answer from their own memory. The
presentation of questions and your responses to them are all secured with 128-bit
encryption.

Support

Support for this system will be provided by accessing "Frequently Asked Question" or
"Help" throughout MyLGHealth. You may also send a "customer service" message in the
MyLGHealth system or by sending an e-mail to MyLGHealthSupport@lghealth.org or by
calling 717-544-2860. Upon contacting support by any of these means, a support person
will make every effort to contact you within two (2) or fewer business days (Monday-
Friday).
