Welcome to Well Revolution.

Thanks for using our products and services and thank you for taking the time to read our terms and conditions.

By using our sites and services and in consideration of us providing you with access to them, you agree to the following Terms and Conditions, which, together with the Privacy Policy, govern your access to and use of the sites and services.

Our sites and services might not be appropriate for all medical conditions or concerns. If you have a medical emergency, immediately call your doctor or dial 111.

We reserve the right to amend these Terms and Conditions from time to time.

Introduction

Well Revolution Limited (“Well Revolution”, “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) owns and operates the websites located at www.wellrevolution.com, www.wellrevolution.co.nz and other related websites and mobile applications with links to these Terms of Use (collectively, the “Site”). We offer online services enabling our members (“Members”) to order health products (“Products”) and to report their health history and engage healthcare professionals (“Providers”) to obtain medical, healthcare, wellness and pharmacy services (collectively “Services”).

By accessing and using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use and all other terms and policies that appear on the Site. If you do not wish to be bound by any of these Terms of Use, you may not use the Site or the Services.

Healthcare Services

All of the Providers who deliver Services through Well Revolution are independent professionals solely responsible for the services each provides to you. Well Revolution does not practice medicine or any other licensed profession and does not interfere with the practice of medicine or any other licensed profession by Providers, each of whom is responsible for his or her services and compliance with the requirements applicable to his or her profession and license. Neither Well Revolution nor any third parties who promote the Services or provide you with a link to the Service shall be liable for any professional advice you obtain from a Provider via the Services.

Pharmacy Services

If you receive a prescription as a result of the Services, you may select delivery to ship your prescription from one of our partner pharmacies or to collect your prescription yourself from one of the pharmacies listed in our Services (collectively, the “Pharmacies”). You give us consent to send and disclose to the Pharmacies all information provided by you, healthcare records, and other applicable health care information and personal information (such as your name, location and demographic information) so that you may receive pharmacy services.

Site Content

None of the Site content (other than information you receive from Providers) should be considered medical advice or an endorsement, representation or warranty that any particular product, medication or treatment is safe, appropriate, or effective for you.

Informed Consent

Well Revolution provides various technologies and tools as part of its Services as a means of providing direct access to Providers for communication, consultations, assessments, treatment and pharmacy services.

Delivery of services involves the use of electronic communications, messaging, telephone and other means between a Provider and a patient who are not in the same physical location. During consultations with a Provider, details of your health history and personal health information may be discussed with you through the use of these technologies and tools which may be used for diagnosis, treatment, follow-up and/or related patient education.

Among the benefits of our Services are improved access to healthcare professionals and convenience. However, as with any health service, there are potential risks associated with the use of electronic systems. These risks include, but may not be limited to:
- In rare cases, information transmitted may not be sufficient (e.g. poor resolution of images) to allow for appropriate health care decision making by the Provider;
- Delays in evaluation or treatment could occur due to failures of the electronic equipment. If this happens, you may be contacted by phone or other means of communication;
- In rare cases, a lack of access to all of your health records may result in adverse drug interactions or allergic reactions or other judgment errors;
- Although the electronic systems we use will incorporate network and software security protocols to protect the privacy and security of health information, in rare instances, security protocols could fail, causing a breach of privacy of personal health information.

By accepting these Terms of Use, you acknowledge that you understand and agree with the following:
- You understand that you may expect the anticipated benefits from the use of our Services in your care, but that no results can be guaranteed or assured.
- You understand that the laws that protect the privacy and security of health information apply to our Services, and have received Well Revolution’s Privacy Policy, which describes these protections in more detail.
- Your Provider may determine that the Services are not appropriate for some or all of your treatment needs, and accordingly may elect not to provide Services to you through the Site.

Privacy

Well Revolution is required to maintain safeguards to protect the security of your health information. We devote considerable effort toward ensuring that your personal information is secure. Information regarding our use of health and other personal information is provided in our Site Privacy Policy. As part of providing you the Services, we may need to provide you with certain communications, such as appointment reminders, service announcements and administrative messages. These communications are considered part of the Services and your Account. While secure electronic messaging is always preferred to insecure email, under certain circumstances, insecure email communication containing personal health information may take place between you and Well Revolution. Well Revolution cannot ensure the security or confidentiality of messages sent by email.

To create an Account, you must be of legal age to form a binding contract. If you are not of legal age to form a binding contract, you may not register to use our Services. You agree that the Account Information that you provide to us at all times, including during registration and in any information you upload to the Site will be true, accurate, current, and complete. You may not transfer or share your Account password with anyone, or create more than one Account (with the exception of subaccounts established for children of whom you are the parent or legal guardian). You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Account password and for all activities that occur under your Account. Well Revolution reserves the right to take any and all action, as it deems necessary or reasonable, regarding the security of the Site and your Account Information. In no event and under no circumstances shall Well Revolution be held liable to you for any liabilities or damages resulting from or arising out of your use of the Site, your use of the Account Information or your release of the Account Information to a third party. You may not use anyone else’s account at any time.

Use of the Services by Children

The Services are available for use by children, but the Member for all patients under the age of 16 must be the patient’s parent or legal guardian. If you register as the parent or legal guardian on behalf of a minor, you will be fully responsible for complying with these Terms of Use.

Access Rights

We hereby grant to you a limited, non-exclusive, nontransferable right to access the Site and use the Services solely for your personal non-commercial use and only as permitted under these Terms of Use and any separate agreements you may have entered into with us (“Access Rights”). We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to deny or suspend use of the Site or Services to anyone for any reason. You agree that you will not, and will not attempt to: (a) impersonate any person or entity, or otherwise misrepresent your affiliation with a person or entity; (b) use the Site or Services to violate any national or international law; (c) reverse engineer, disassemble, decompile, or translate any software or other components of the Site or Services; (d) distribute viruses or other harmful computer code through the Site or (e) otherwise use the Services or Site in any manner that exceeds the scope of use granted above.

We also recommend that you do not store your Account password through your web browser or other software.

Fees and Purchase Terms

You agree to pay all fees or charges to your Account in accordance with the fees, charges, and billing terms in effect at the time a fee or charge is due and payable. By providing Well Revolution with your credit card number or other payment method, payment device and associated payment information, you agree that Well Revolution, our affiliates, or our third-party payment processors are authorized to immediately invoice and charge your account for all fees and charges due and payable to Well Revolution hereunder and that no additional notice or consent is required.

You understand and agree that you are responsible for all fees due to receive Services, including any fees charged by Providers. Your payments to Well Revolution may include fees charged by Providers for healthcare services and/or pharmacy services, which we collect on their behalf. Any healthcare services or pharmacy services not made available through the Services are not included in the payments collected by us, and you may be separately charged by the applicable Provider for such services. In the event that your payment device expires or we, our affiliates, or our third-party payment processors are unable to process your payment, you may receive notice for you to provide an alternative payment method. Well Revolution and/or the Providers have no obligation to provide any Services unless and until full payment has been received and/or verified.

We reserve the right to modify or implement a new pricing structure at any time prior to billing you for your initial payment or for future payments due pursuant to these Terms of Use.

Subscription Products

From time to time, Well Revolution may make certain Services available for purchase through the Site that  require you to purchase the Service on a subscription basis. For subscription-based Services, your payment device will be automatically charged at regular intervals as described for that Service during the checkout process.

If a subscription Service you purchase required a consultation with a Provider and/or includes a prescription product that you fill through the Pharmacies, then the total price you pay includes the amount charged by the Pharmacies for the prescription and the amount charged by the Provider for the services of the Provider, as well as the amount we charge for use of and access to the Site. We collect the amounts charged by the Pharmacies and the Providers on behalf of the Pharmacies and Providers and pass the applicable amounts through to them.

Refunds. Subject to rights that cannot be waived under New Zealand law, a subscription charge can only be refunded when a) you let us know you would like to cancel your subscription and goods have not yet been dispatched by the Pharmacies and a consultation with a Provider has not yet been completed; b) the Pharmacies cannot fulfil your order due to lack of stock; c) a product or pricing error is identified. We can only refund back to the payment method and card used for the original charge.

Prescription Products

Certain products available through the Site require a valid prescription by a licensed healthcare provider. You will not be able to obtain a prescription product unless you have completed a consultation with one of the Providers through the Services, the Provider has determined the prescription product is appropriate for you and the Provider has written a prescription.

If a Provider determines a prescription product is appropriate for you and writes a prescription, you may fill it through one of the Pharmacies by using the Services, or you may fill the prescription at any pharmacy of your choice as prompted during your use of the Service or contacting our support service.

If you complete a consultation with a Provider and fill a prescription through one of the Pharmacies, the prescription product will be dispensed and made available for you to collect from the applicable Pharmacy.

The purpose of this policy is to outline the processes to follow in the management of complaints received within the practice.

This policy has been developed to align to the ProCare Contracted Provider Agreement 2014, (Back to Back Agreement) and associated Protocol for Clauses 12.2 and 12.3 and the Health and Disability Services Consumers Code of Rights, Right 10.

Date developed/revised: April 2020
Approved by: Dr Anton Wiles
Review Date: June 2020

Scope of the Policy

This policy applies to patients, contractors, visitors, family and whanau, employees, DHB, Health and Disability Commissioner and other agencies that may formalise a complaint to the practice.

Complaints Management Process

Refer to the Complaint Management Flow Diagram (below).

Consumer Complaints

A consumer complaint is any expression of dissatisfaction received from a client, patient, visitor, family member, or a member of the community regarding an event that has occurred, a system or process with the practice or a staff member. Complaints may be either:

  • Written – letter, email, via website or fax
  • Verbal – telephone or face-to-face

Accountability

It is the responsibility of staff to ensure consumers are aware of how to make a complaint, written or verbal. It is the responsibility of staff to ensure consumers are aware of the services available to assist them to make a complaint if unable to do so.

Complaints Officer

The designated Complaints Officer is Dr Anton Wiles.

If the Complaints Officer is the person that the complaint has been lodged against, the complaint needs to be handled by another person in the practice who is capable to manage a complaint if appropriate or seek an independent person to manage the complaint.

Role of the Complaints Officer

  1. Having the skills to be able to act with sensitivity as well as be objective and impartial.
  2. Have knowledge of, and be able to advise on, all aspects of the practice’s internal complaint procedures and be trained to receive, investigate and deal with complaints about the practice services.
  3. Have access to rooms with adequate privacy to ensure the complainant’s confidentiality is maintained and appropriate information technology equipment, with access to the practice’s complaint handling database and reference material.
  4. Ensure that they are not directly involved in the subject matter of the complaint and raise the matter with a superior or peer should such an issue arise.
  5. Be able to assist in the formulation of a written complaint for complainants who require additional assistance,
  6. Have access to staff at all levels of the practice so that complaints can be resolved quickly.
  7. Have clearly defined power to act and provide redress to complainants or to refer the matter to someone who has this power; and
  8. Maintain a Complaints Register recording all complaints, decision and actions.

Reporting of Complaints to PHO

As per the Contracted Provider Agreement (Back-to-Back Agreement), Clause 12 requires Contracted Providers to inform ProCare of complaints, such as the following:

  1. Complaints identified that may result in significant risks or issues which could potentially affect the relationship between ProCare and the Provider providing services, and their respective abilities to meet the obligations.
  2. Complaints involving the Health and Disability Commissioner
  3. Complaints that Under Clause 12.2 Providers have an obligation to notify ProCare of events which are ‘serious’ or which could bring ‘discredit’ upon the DHB, ProCare Network or the profession.
  4. The practice and/or the Contracted Provider is to notify ProCare of all complaints that arise from an Incident Severity Assessment Criteria (SAC) Level 1 or 2,

Clause 12.3 provides that upon notification ProCare and the Provider will work together to minimise the impact or potential impact of any of these events. The intent of Clause 12.3 is for ProCare and the Provider to work collegially together.

All complaints meeting the criteria as set out in the ‘Protocol for Clause 12 of ProCare’s Contracted Provider Agreement’ are to be reported to ProCare as per the protocol,

Categorising of Complaints

Complaints are to be categorised according to the following:

  1. Customer Service
  2. Clinical Care/Treatment
  3. Communication
  4. Delays/Waiting times
  5. Environment
  6. Cultural Competency

Complaints Register

The Complaints Officer is responsible for the management of the register. The register will be kept up to date by the Complaints Officer. The record will show the nature and background to the complaint and the process by which it was addressed and resolved including any patient input. Sensitive complaints are always to be kept confidential – by way of recording and by way of filing.

Verbal Complaints

  1. Verbal complaints are to be documented, either by the complainant or by the person receiving the complaint and to be managed in the same manner as a written complaint.
  2. Effort must be made to resolve the complaint immediately where possible. Often through communication with the complainant at the time of lodging the complaint, resolution of a verbal complaint is often made.

Written Complaints

  1. Written complaints, either through email, letter or via a website or those written on consumer feedback forms are to be attached to the complaints form for action. This is to be done by the end of the day on which the complaint is made.
  2. A consumer may instead, or in addition, involve the Health Advocacy Service, and/or lay a complaint with the Health and Disability Commissioner and/or the Privacy Commissioner.

Acknowledgement and Response Times

  1. All complaints where the complainant wishes to identify themselves are to be acknowledged within 5 working days of receipt. If the complaint is resolved within 5 days, only a letter of response is required. This letter may be an email.
  2. Where appropriate, meetings with relevant staff may be arranged immediately on receipt of the complaint.
  3. All complaints will be investigated within 10 working days of acknowledgement to decide whether the complaint is justified/ substantiated.
  4. If more than 10 working days is required to investigate the complaint, the complainant is notified that additional time is required. If the additional time is more than 20 working days, the complainant is informed and advised of the reasons why,
  5. The complainant will be updated on the progress of their complaint at intervals of not more than one month.

Staff Named in a Complaint

  1. If a staff member is named in or associated with a complaint, they are advised prior to any investigation commencing, and will not be involved in the investigation.
  2. Staff named in any complaint will have the right of reply and the right to seek advice from their chosen delegate if necessary.
  3. Staff may be asked to meet with the complainant to assist in complaint resolution. Staff will have the right to have a support person alongside them.

Privacy/Consent

  1. Complaints are confidential information and are always to be stored securely.
  2. All complaints correspondence is kept in a central file with the Complaints Officer.
  3. If a complaint is received from someone other than a client, and information in the response is related to the client’s care and treatment, signed consent must be obtained from the client (or parent/guardian) before the outcome of the investigation can be released.
  4. If the complaint comes from a third party and the patient has died, the trustees and executors of the estate are to be asked for consent before the complaint is investigated. Evidence of the authenticity of the trustees or executors’ consent is a copy of the Grant of Probate of the will of the deceased patient.

Refunds

If you are not satisfied with the service you have received, if you would like to dispute a charge made to your account, or for any other concerns you have regarding the service you have received from us and/or a service provider, please let us know.

Our customer service team is here to help you and we are always happy to discuss your concerns.

We will always act in a fair and reasonable manner when considering a request for a refund, for both you and the provider. We will investigate your concerns and work to resolve them within 5 working days.

Based on the outcome of that investigation, we may:

  1. adjust the fee charged by that provider for the service they have provided to you (for example, insufficient service; a technical error in the App prevented service being provided);
  2. refund the fee charged by that provider for the service they have provided you (for example, a service was not provided).

Provider Payments Policy

This payments policy applies to App Services provided by Well Revolution under the terms of the Well Revolution Services Agreement for Providers.

Last Updated: 1 July 2023

Billing

Users pay for Healthcare Services using their payment card in the App. They are charged a fee to their payment card whenever there is a Billing Event. Billing Events are based upon a set of Billing rules.

Billing Rules & Events

A Billing Event is created when an instruction is given by a provider to close a consultation in the App. (The process for closing a consultation is provided in the App user guides).

A Billing Event creates a charge to a User based on a combination of the Consultation Fee, Fee Type, Billing Hours, Billing Time and any Special Event.

Billing

Users pay for Healthcare Services using their payment card in the App. They are charged a fee to their payment card whenever there is a Billing Event. Billing Events are based upon a set of Billing rules.

Closing a Consultation

A consultation is closed by a provider after a User’s request for Healthcare Services is satisfied. Closing a consultation creates a bill to the User and prevents the User from sending any further messages as part of that particular request.

Consultation Fee

Your Practice is responsible for providing the fees it makes available and that it will charge to Users for the services you provide in the App.

Fee Type

Fees are provided in tiers based upon the User Rate and the Billing Hour Rate made available in the App from time to time. For example, in addition to its usual fees, a practice may have rates for Under-14, Over-65, CSC or HUHC patients. Practices can set a separate User Rate based on the Billing Hours.

Billing Hours

Well Revolution recognises rates for services provided within normal hours of business for a Practice (“Business Hours”) and services provided outside of normal hours of business (“After Hours”) such as evenings and weekends. A Practice can set its rates for Business Hours and After Hours where available.

Billing Time

The rate billed and charged to a User is based on a combination of the following event times.

  1. Request Time is recorded as the date and time a User first sends a message in the App with a request for Healthcare Services.
  2. Response Time is recorded as the date and time a Provider first sends a message in response to a User’s request for Healthcare Services in the App.
  3. Close Time is recorded as the date and time a Provider closes the consultation.

Special Events

Special billing events may be made available from time to time based on the needs of providers. For example, closing a consultation with an instruction to bill at the Under-14, CSC or HUHC rate; or zero-rating the bill in cases where a request could not be satisfied. Any such special billing events will be notified to you as they become available.

Billing Event Charges

The rates used to bill and charge a User on a Billing Event are based on the following table.

Table 1. Rates applied to billing events during Business Hours (B/H) and After Hours (A/H)
  • The After Hours rate applies only to events where both the Request Time and Response Time are After Hours and the Service Time is less than 3 hours.
  • For all other events, the Business Hours rate applies.
  • Service Time is the reasonable period of time that a User can expect to receive a first response to their request. It is the period of time between Request Time and Response Time.

Payments and Service Fees

Well Revolution operates a merchant account into which all payments made by Users are deposited (“Merchant Account”).

Payments to Practices

Healthcare Services rendered to Users are provided by a Practitioner.

Payments are made by us to a Practice who employs or otherwise engages the Practitioner to provide the Healthcare Services to Users.

Funds from Consultation Fee transactions are deposited to the bank account of a Practice weekly on Mondays. Weekly payment cycles run from Monday 6AM – Monday 5:59AM.

The Service Fee due to us under the terms of the Well Revolution Services Agreement for Providers together with any other amounts due by you to us will be deducted from the weekly payments due by us to you. We also reserve the right to invoice you for payment of any amounts due in the event that we consider that there may not be sufficient funds available from the Merchant Account to meet the payments due.

We may recover from you any fees or other amounts charged back by a credit card company to Well Revolution in relation to any transactions which have not been deducted from the funds received by us and remitted to you by deducting them from any amount subsequently payable to you or require you to otherwise reimburse us for such fees or other amounts.

Where a credit card company reverses payment due to fraudulent credit card use and we are unable to obtain such payment, we shall each be responsible for the losses associated with our respective components of the transaction.

Service Fees

The following Service Fee applies on a per Healthcare Services transaction basis calculated as a percentage of the Consultation Fee. The Service Fee is charged by Well Revolution to your account.

An additional Merchant Fee applies on a per Healthcare Services transaction basis calculated as a percentage of the Consultation Fee. The Merchant Fee is charged by Well Revolution to your account.

(Merchant fees are charged by credit card providers and banks as a percentage of transaction value)


Why does Well Revolution charge a service fee?
We charge a service fee for consultations made through the app to help fund our platform’s operations and to support innovation that enables us to serve more people.
