You consent to our sending you Short Message Service (“SMS”) messages as described in this section. We typically may deliver up to three SMS messages per day to your cellphone or other wireless device (unless you communicate further with us and we need to or can respond), but depending on appointment and visit frequency, message frequency may vary. SMS messages and frequency are driven by appointment reminders, confirmations, and patient-initiated check-in services. Additionally, we may also contact you by SMS messages with billing and payment reminders, surveys, informational and service-related communications, including important security updates, as well as for marketing and awareness purposes (e.g., to make an appointment with us for flu and RSV testing and treatment). You may request us to stop sending SMS messages by replying “STOP” to the SMS message you received. After you send the SMS message “STOP” to us, we will send you an SMS message to confirm that you have been unsubscribed. Alternatively, you may submit your request by email to us, including the email address and phone number you sent to us, or by any reasonable means. After this, you will no longer receive SMS messages from us. If you want to join again, just sign up as you did the first time and we will start sending SMS messages to you again. For help, please reply to a text with HELP. Message and data rates may apply, depending on your cell phone plan. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. We will not be liable in the event that you or anyone else inappropriately uses your device or accesses your text data.
