Terms. Wonder Years Management LLC (“Wonder Years”, “we” or “us”) owns and operates the website at https://www.wonderyearsny.com/ (the “Site”), where you can find information about our services. These Website Terms and Conditions (the “Website Terms”) describe the rights and obligations of an unregistered website user or visitor (“user” or “you”) in connection with your use of the Site. By accessing or using the Site in any way, you agree to our Privacy Policy and to be bound by these Website Terms. These Website Terms apply only to your use of the Site, and the content made available on or through the Site, as an unregistered website user or visitor. If you use or access any of our physical space, restricted-access web-based services (i.e. those requiring scheduling an appointment), or other services we provide, your use of such space or services is subject to the terms and conditions you received or accepted when you signed up for such space or services. From time to time, we may make modifications, deletions or additions to the Site or these Website Terms. Your continued use of the Site following the posting of any changes to the Website Terms constitutes acceptance of those changes.

Eligibility. You hereby certify that you are (i) over the age of eighteen (18) or have the legal ability to consent to our Website Terms or have your Parent/Guardian consent to our Website Terms, and (ii) physically located or are a resident of the United States. No one under the age of eighteen (18) may access or use our Site or provide any personal information through the Site. The Site is only intended for use in the United States. You acknowledge that your ability to access and use the Site is conditioned upon the truthfulness of the information you provide regarding your age, residence and contact information and that the Providers you access (“Provider(s)”) are relying upon this certification in order to interact with you and provide you services.

The Provider and Provider Services. The Site may be used to connect you with a Provider who will render services to you through the Site (“Counselor Services”). We require every Provider rendering Provider Services on the Site to be an accredited, trained, and licensed clinician based on their state and/or jurisdiction.

The Site’s role is limited to enabling the Provider Services while the Provider Services themselves are the responsibility of the Provider who renders them. If you feel the Provider Services rendered by the Provider do not fit your needs or expectations, you may change to a different Provider through the Site.

While we hope the Provider Services are beneficial to you, you understand, agree and acknowledge that they may not be the appropriate solution for everyone’s needs and that they may not be appropriate for every particular situation and/or may not be a complete substitute for a face-to-face examination and/or care in every particular situation.

MEDICAL WARNING. This Site has been created to provide information about health care and is for general informational purposes regarding health care that should never be construed as specific instructions for individual patients. Nothing on the Site is intended to substitute for proper medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Other than the guidance and advice you receive directly by you from your licensed Provider, the other educational, graphics, research sources and other incidental information on the Site (the “Content”) should not be considered medical advice. You should always talk to an appropriately qualified health care professional for diagnosis and treatment, including information regarding which medications or treatment may be appropriate for you. None of the Content represents or warrants that any particular medication or treatment is safe, appropriate, or effective for you. Wonder Years does not endorse any specific tests, medications, products or procedures.

Financial Policy. It is our policy to require all patients to provide credit card information at the time of booking an appointment. You will be responsible for all charges incurred, including those amounts not paid by your insurance company. Predetermined fees associated with an appointment are required before time of service. If you do not have health insurance or you have health insurance coverage with a plan we do not participate with, you will be required to pay for all services in full prior to the time of visit. For minor patients, the adult accompanying the patient is responsible for payment of the visit and related procedures. We can help prepare a statement for you to attach to your insurance claim form for payment processing. Your insurance company should send its payment directly to you.

We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discovery. Your credit card information will be held securely. When payments are due, Wonder Years Management LLC and affiliated entities (hereinafter “Wonder Years”) will collect payments up to one business day prior to your scheduled appointments. It is your responsibility to keep your credit card information updated. Charges that fail to process or are denied by your credit card company will still remain your financial responsibility and will be subject to late fees.
You must present us with your most current health insurance card and a valid government issued photo ID at the time of the appointment. It is your responsibility to notify our office immediately of any changes to your insurance. As a courtesy, we will bill the fees of our services to your insurance plan provided that we participate with your health insurance plan and the service is covered under your plan. It is your responsibility to check with your health insurance carrier whether specific services or procedures are covered under your plan and to understand any policies they may have regarding your coverage of benefits. If your insurance requires you to have a pre-authorization or referral to be seen in our office, you must provide these prior to your first appointment.

If there is a remaining, unpaid balance on your account after your health insurance company has paid its portion, we will charge the remaining balance to your credit card and then send a copy of the charges to you. For specific information relating to the portion paid by your insurance, please refer to the Explanation of Benefits (EOB) that your insurance company is required to send you. Only your insurance company is responsible for determining your portion of the balance on the Explanation of Benefits form. In the event your health plan determines that a visit or service we already provided is not covered, declines payment for visits and services, or fails to pay, you will be responsible for payment in full and your credit card will be charged for the same.

APPOINTMENT CANCELLATION AND NO-SHOW. You will be charged the regular out of pocket fees for that provider for missed appointments, e.g. appointments that are not canceled 24 business hours in advance (i.e. for Monday appointments, you must cancel by the appropriate time the preceding Friday) and appointments that you are late by 50% of the appointment time (i.e. late by 15 minutes for a 30 minute appointment). If you miss or “late” cancel two consecutive sessions, your provider may discharge you from their service. If at any time you want to discuss your financial obligations with us, we will be happy to make an appointment for you with a Wonder Years administrator.

Wonder Years COMMUNICATION VIA EMAIL AND TEXT MESSAGES. Please be aware that emailing and text messaging with Wonder Years practitioners and staff may not be the most secure means of communication, may not be HIPAA compliant and may compromise your confidentiality. However, we realize that many of our patients prefer to communicate via email and text message because it is a quick and convenient way to convey information. Therefore, in addition to email communications via Gmail, Wonder Years provides for secure HIPAA compliant messaging through Spruce. Such communications may include the status of a patient’s appointment or membership in any of our subscription services or billing matters, which may or may not contain protected health information. Wonder Years may also use patient email addresses for informational communications (e.g., newsletters) and to conduct patient surveys for Wonder Years’s quality assessment and improvement purposes only. Such informational and survey emails shall be conducted via Wonder Years’s HIPAA compliant account with SurveyMonkey in accordance with their Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. You can unsubscribe from such emails at any time (using the link at the footer of the emails you receive) and you may stop participating in any survey you start at any time. We will not otherwise distribute or sell your email address. Nonetheless, we strongly suggest that you exercise caution and only communicate through a private device that you know is safe and technologically secure (e.g., has anti-virus protection, is password protected, not accessing the internet through a public wireless network, etc.). As always, if you have an emergency, call 9-1-1.
