PHILIPS LIFELINE MONITORING SERVICES-CARE PLAN AGREEMENT

1.PARTIES AND SERVICES: The person named as Subscriber and the person named as Payer (which for purposes of these terms and conditions are collectively referred to as “Subscriber”) hereby contract with Program, listed on the front of this Agreement for the Philips Lifeline Medical Alert Service (the “Service”). The obligations of Subscriber and Payer are joint and several, which means that both of you are equally responsible for the obligations of the Subscriber under this Agreement.

The Service includes Philips Lifeline Equipment and Monitoring. (“Equipment” means a Lifeline home communicator and Personal Help Button. It may also include a Smoke Detector or other authorized Lifeline accessories if such accessories have been installed in Subscriber’s home. YOU DO NOT HAVE A SMOKE DETECTOR UNLESS YOU HAVE GIVEN SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS TO RECEIVE A LIFELINE SMOKE DETECTOR AND THAT SMOKE DETECTOR HAS BEEN INSTALLED). Monitoring is provided through a Response Center. The Response Center may be operated by Program directly or by sub-contract with Philips Lifeline (The term “Program” includes Lifeline to the extent that it provides monitoring services for Program.

The Service includes receipt, analysis and response to alarm signals from Equipment. Upon receipt of a signal, Program will make reasonable effort to promptly contact Subscriber and if Program deems necessary in its reasonable judgment, notify Responders, in the order designated by Subscriber on the front of this Agreement, or Police, Fire or Ambulance (designated on the front of this Agreement). (Responders listed by Subscriber and Emergency numbers for Central Dispatch, Police, Fire or Ambulance identified by Subscriber are collectively referred to as “Responders”).

Subscriber agrees that Program may rely absolutely on the statements of Subscriber, Responders, or any person who says that they are acting on behalf of a Responder or Subscriber, with respect to the location and condition of Subscriber.

Subscriber agrees that Program is not responsible for the promptness, sufficiency or adequacy of the action of any Responder or any third party acting for a Responder. Subscriber agrees that Program in no way represents or guarantees that Responders can be contacted, can or will respond, or that any response will be safe or effective. Subscriber agrees that the Responders have been designated by him or her and are not agents or other representatives of Program.

2.TERM & TERMINATION: This Agreement starts when Equipment is installed and it may be terminated by either party by sending the other party thirty (30) days prior written notice. Program may terminate this Agreement at any time for non-payment of fees or abuse of the service. Upon termination, Subscriber will return Equipment to Program. Upon termination, Subscriber may elect to 1) Mail Equipment to the Program at Subscriber’s expense or 2) Pay the Program for either a) UPS pick-up or b) Removal by a Home Service Representative at the Program’s current rates for such services at the time the Equipment is removed. If Subscriber fails to return Equipment within thirty

(30) days following termination, then Subscriber agrees to pay Program in cash the fair market value of Equipment at the end of such thirty

(30) day period.

3.SUBSCRIBER DUTIES: The Subscriber must:

a.Provide and be responsible for suitable electrical and telephone service for installation and operation of Equipment.

b.Select and give accurate information as to all Responders. Subscriber represents that personal Responders have agreed to act as Responders.

c.Not alter or attempt repairs to Equipment.

d.Not move Equipment without Program’s prior written authorization.

e.Allow access for Program representatives to inspect Equipment, for maintenance, or removing Equipment after termination.

f.Not cause repeated or frequent inadvertent or any willful false alarms.

g.Provide Responders with access to Subscriber’s home.

h.Promptly inform Program of any changes to the information provided in this Agreement. All changes are the sole responsibility of Subscriber and shall become effective at the time of delivery to Program.

i.Test Equipment at least once a month with the Personal Help Button and otherwise follow recommended procedures established by Program.

j.Pay any fine resulting from a false alarm, including an Inactivity Alarm.

4.FEES: Subscriber agrees to pay the Fees associated with this Agreement along with any applicable sales tax or for any additional services later agreed to by the parties. Fees are subject to change upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Subscriber. Payment is due upon receipt of invoice. Past due balances (over thirty (30) days past due) will be subject to a monthly finance service charge equal to eighteen (18%) percent per annum, or the maximum allowable by law. Program may terminate this Agreement for non-payment of fees and recover all payments due to Program. In the event that it shall become necessary for Program to institute legal proceedings to collect payments due under this Agreement then Subscriber agrees to pay Program’s reasonable attorney’s fees for such collection action except where prohibited by law. Subscriber agrees to pay for a full month of service for any month in which the Subscriber has Service.

5.TELEPHONE LINES and RJ31X JACK: If Subscriber has two or more telephones in his/her home using the same telephone number, and if one of these phones is in use or off the hook, the Equipment will not operate without a special connection, such as an RJ31X jack. If Subscriber would like this type of connection, it is the responsibility of Subscriber to have the telephone company install it.

6.INTERRUPTION OF SERVICE: Subscriber acknowledges that the Equipment sends its signals using electrical and telephone company lines which are wholly beyond the control of Program and IN THE EVENT TELEPHONE SERVICE IS OUT OF ORDER OR DISCONNECTED, THE EQUIPMENT WILL NOT OPERATE. Program does not assume any liability for interruption of the Service due to strikes, riots, sabotage, terrorist activities, floods, storms, earthquakes, fires, power failure, interruption of telephone service, acts of God, or any other cause beyond Program’s control including, without limitation, the activities of Subscriber. PROGRAM IS NOT REQUIRED TO SUPPLY THE SERVICE DURING THE CONTINUATION OF ANY INTERRUPTION OF TSERVICE DUE O ANY SUCH CAUSE. Subscriber further acknowledges that using telephone service provided via the internet, broadband, VoIP, or any other non-traditional telephone service presents additional risks for non-transmission of signals from the Equipment and the Equipment may not operate as intended.

Subscriber agrees that Program, Referral Source, Responders and any other party named in this Agreement all may receive the information contained in this Agreement or otherwise provided by Subscriber to Program or concerning the Service. Subscriber further agrees that in the event that a Responder or other assistance is sent to Subscriber’s home (an “Incident”) Program may notify any or all of the parties listed in this section. Further, Subscriber releases Program from all liability, which may arise out of Program’s disclosure of information in this Agreement or about any Incident to the parties listed in this section. Subscriber acknowledges that all communications between Subscriber and Response Center may be recorded and Subscriber consents to such recording.

Payment: Your protected health information will be used as needed to obtain payment for your PERS or other related health care services. Healthcare Operations: Your protected health information may be used or disclosed as needed in order to support the business activities of Program or the hospital or healthcare providers who provide your Service or who referred you to the Service.

8.FALSE ALARMS OR ABUSE OF SERVICE: Subscriber agrees to reimburse Program for any fee assessed against Program as a result of false alarms originating from Subscriber’s premises which Program considers to be excessive.

9.FORCED ENTRY and INACTIVITY ALARMS: Subscriber agrees that if ANY ALARM SIGNAL is received by Program and a Responder is sent to Subscriber’s home and Subscriber cannot let Responder into the home and Responder does not have a key THE SUBSCRIBER AUTHORIZES RESPONDER TO BREAK INTO SUBSCRIBER’S HOME. SUBSCRIBER UNDERSTANDS THAT THIS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE HOME. SUBSCRIBER WAIVES ANY CLAIM AGAINST PROGRAM OR ANY RESPONDER, WHICH MAY ARISE AS A RESULT OF FORCED ENTRY INTO THE HOME. SUBSCRIBER SPECIFICALLY WAIVES ANY CLAIM FOR DAMAGE RESULTING FROM FORCED ENTRY AFTER AN INACTIVITY ALARM EVEN IF SUBSCRIBER IS SIMPLY NOT HOME.

10.ATTORNEYS’ FEES: In the event that it shall become necessary for Program to institute legal proceedings against Subscriber to

enforce any provision of this Agreement, Subscriber agrees to pay Program’s reasonable attorneys’ fees, except where prohibited by law.

11.ASSIGNMENT: This Agreement may not be assigned by Subscriber except with the prior written consent of Program.

12.WARRANTIES AND DISCLAIMER: Subscriber understands and agrees that Program is not an insurer and that insurance, if any, covering personal injury or other personal claims and property loss or damage on Subscriber’s premises shall be obtained by Subscriber in such amounts and covering such perils as Subscriber may determine; that Program is being paid to provide a Service and that the amounts being charged by Program are not sufficient to guarantee that no loss will occur; that Program is not assuming responsibility for any losses which may occur even if due to Program’s negligent performance or failure to perform any obligation under this Agreement. Subscriber assumes all risk of loss or damage to premises or the contents thereof, or personal injury.

PROGRAM MAKES NO GUARANTEES OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND RELATING TO THE SERVICE AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WRITTEN OR ORAL, WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICE AND THE EQUIPMENT, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. IF, NOTWITHSTANDING THE OTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, THERE SHOULD ARISE ANY LIABILITY TO PROGRAM, PROGRAM’S MAXIMUM LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF THE PROVISION OF THE SERVICE, INCLUDING THE EQUIPMENT, OR ITS USE, WHETHER BASED UPON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, SHALL NOT EXCEED ONE-HALF THE ANNUAL PAYMENTS RECEIVED BY PROGRAM FROM SUBSCRIBER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. SINCE IT IS IMPRACTICAL AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO FIX ACTUAL DAMAGES WHICH MAY ARISE DUE TO A FAILURE OF THE SERVICE, THIS SUM SHALL BE COMPLETE AND EXCLUSIVE AND SHALL BE PAID AND RECEIVED AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AND NOT AS A PENALTY. IN NO EVENT SHALL PROGRAM BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

Subscriber has read and understands all of this Agreement, and Program’s maximum liability in the event of any loss, damage or injury to or death of, Subscriber.

Subscriber agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Program, its employees and agents from and against all third party claims, lawsuits and losses alleged to be caused by Program’s performance, negligent performance or failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

This Agreement supersedes all prior representations, understandings or agreements between the parities. This Agreement may only be modified in writing signed by both parties. The parties agree that this Agreement will be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

What You Should Know About This Form

It outlines both the subscriber's responsibilities and the obligations of Philips Lifeline, ensuring participants fully understand the service provided and their role in maintaining it.

The Care Plan Agreement can typically be submitted by mail or electronically, depending on your program's procedures.

3. What information do I need to provide on the form?

The form requires various information to ensure a tailored service experience. You will need to provide personal details such as your name, address, and contact numbers. Additionally, the form asks for emergency contacts, including their names, relationship to you, and how they can be reached. Information regarding any medical conditions, drugs allergies, and other health directives will also be requested to ensure appropriate assistance can be provided if needed.

If you decide to terminate the agreement, it can be done by providing a written notice to Philips Lifeline at least thirty days prior to your desired termination date. Upon termination, you must return any equipment associated with the service. Philips Lifeline offers options for returning equipment, including mailing it yourself or scheduling a pick-up service. It's important to return the equipment in a timely manner to avoid being charged for it.

5. Are there any fees associated with the Lifeline service?

Yes, the Philips Lifeline service comes with various fees. These may include a monthly monitoring fee, an enrollment fee, and additional charges for services like inactivity alarms. Subscribers are responsible for paying these fees on time. Changes in fees will be communicated through written notice, and it’s vital to keep track of your payment dates to avoid any unnecessary late fees or service interruptions.

Common mistakes

Filling out the Philips Lifeline Care Plan Agreement form requires careful attention to detail. One common mistake people make is neglecting to provide complete contact information. When listing emergency contact numbers, individuals often forget to include alternative phone numbers, such as their work or cell numbers. This omission can hinder effective communication during emergencies, as the service depends on quick access to designated responders.

Another frequent error involves inaccurately listing personal information, particularly the names and relation of the responders. It's crucial to ensure that names are correctly spelled and relationships properly defined. Incorrect details could result in complications during an emergency situation when responders must be contacted quickly.

Some individuals also overlook the importance of specifying the household information accurately. For instance, failing to mention specific instructions, like the location of a hidden house key, can delay responders in critical situations. Clarity in directing responders to the premises is vital to ensure prompt and effective assistance.

A further mistake occurs when applicants do not update their information when changes happen. People may fill out the agreement and assume they won’t need to make revisions, leaving outdated contacts and emergency strategies in play. Regular updates are essential for maintaining effective communication and ensuring that all provided information is current.

People sometimes skip over the section regarding medical conditions or drug allergies. This information is crucial for responders to manage emergencies effectively. Uninformed responders might misjudge situations arising from unknown medical issues, resulting in inadequate care.

Moreover, many individuals fail to test the equipment after installation. The instructions for testing the emergency alert system should be followed diligently. Without consistent testing, subscribers may mistakenly believe the system is operational, only to find it malfunctioning during an actual emergency.

Lastly, users occasionally don’t pay close attention to the fee structure outlined in the agreement. Understanding all costs associated with services helps prevent misunderstandings later. Noting the payment method and frequency ensures that subscriptions remain active, thereby guaranteeing continuous access to the lifeline service when needed.

Documents used along the form

The Philips Lifeline Care Plan Agreement is a vital document that facilitates the establishment of emergency monitoring services. To ensure a comprehensive care experience, several other forms and documents typically accompany this agreement. Each of these documents serves a specific purpose and helps solidify the relationship between the subscriber, their care team, and the Philips Lifeline program.

Authorization for Release of Information: This form allows the subscriber to authorize the sharing of their personal and medical information with healthcare providers, family members, or other designated parties. It is crucial for ensuring that those involved in the subscriber's care have access to necessary information.
Emergency Contact Form: This document gathers information about individuals who can be contacted in case of an emergency. It helps ensure that the right people are notified when the subscriber needs assistance.
Healthcare Proxy Form: This form allows subscribers to designate someone to make medical decisions on their behalf if they become unable to do so. It is an important step in planning for unexpected health-related situations.
Inactivity Alarm Agreement: This agreement outlines the terms related to the inactivity alarm feature, which monitors the subscriber’s activity levels. It specifies when alerts will be triggered and the response expected from the monitoring service.
Medical History and Pharmacy List: This document provides essential details about the subscriber’s medical conditions, medications, and allergies. This information assists healthcare providers and responders in delivering appropriate care.
Equipment User Guide: A comprehensive guide detailing how to use the Philips Lifeline equipment effectively. It includes instructions for testing devices and troubleshooting common issues, ensuring the subscriber can utilize the service to its fullest.
Payment Information Authorization: This document allows for the setup of payment details associated with the service fees. Subscribers authorize Philips Lifeline to process payments for their chosen plans or services.

These documents work together to create a holistic approach to safety and monitoring for subscribers of Philips Lifeline services. Having them organized and readily available can significantly enhance the effectiveness of emergency response and care coordination. Each step taken with these forms brings peace of mind and a stronger support system for those in need.

Both documents focus on establishing clear preferences and responsibilities regarding medical situations.
Living Will: This document outlines specific medical treatment preferences, much like the Lifeline Agreement outlines emergency response preferences. Both emphasize the individual's wishes in healthcare decisions.
Emergency Contact Form: Much like the Lifeline form, this document collects essential contact information and directives for emergencies. It ensures that responders can access vital information quickly.
Advanced Directives: Similar to the Lifeline agreement, advanced directives provide instructions on medical care and end-of-life decisions, helping ensure that preferences are honored when one cannot communicate them.
Client Intake Form: When enrolling for healthcare services, a client intake form gathers information about the individual’s medical background and preferences, similar to how the Lifeline Agreement collects subscriber information for service provision.
Health Care Proxy: This document allows one person to make medical decisions for another, similar to how the Lifeline Agreement involves Responders chosen to assist in emergencies. Both emphasize trust and responsibility in caregiving scenarios.
Authorization for Release of Medical Information: This document enables sharing medical details with specified individuals, akin to the consent provided in the Lifeline Agreement for sharing information with Responders and health care providers.

Behavioral Health Crisis Plan: Similar to the Lifeline Care Plan, this document outlines step-by-step actions to take during a mental health crisis, clarifying who to contact and what services are preferred.

Dos and Don'ts

When filling out the Philips Lifeline Care Plan Agreement form, it is essential to follow specific guidelines to ensure accuracy and compliance. Here are four important do's and don'ts:

Do provide accurate contact information. Ensure that all names, phone numbers, and addresses are correct. This information is vital for receiving services and emergency notifications.
Do inform about any medical conditions and allergies. This information helps to tailor the care plan effectively and ensures responders are prepared for specific needs.
Don't forget to test the equipment regularly. It's crucial to check that the Personal Help Button and other devices are functioning properly at least once a month.
Don't list emergency numbers like 911. Instead, provide personal contacts who can respond in case of an emergency. This helps to streamline the communication process.

Misconceptions

Understanding the Philips Lifeline Care Plan Agreement form can help clarify its purpose and function. However, several misconceptions often arise. Here are common misunderstandings and their clarifications:

Misconception 1: The agreement provides insurance coverage.

This agreement does not act as an insurance policy. It offers a safety monitoring service but does not cover personal injury or property loss.

Misconception 2: The service guarantees immediate help.

While the service strives to connect users with responders quickly, it cannot guarantee that responders will always be available or able to provide assistance in emergencies.

Misconception 3: All emergency responders are automatically notified.

Subscribers must specify their chosen emergency responders. The agreement is based on the information provided by the subscriber, and failures to update this information can lead to lapses in support.

Misconception 4: Subscribers can alter equipment without permission.

Subscribers are advised not to move or attempt repairs on the equipment. Changes require prior authorization to ensure proper operation and functionality.

Misconception 5: The program covers false alarm fees.

Subscribers are responsible for any fees incurred due to excessive false alarms. It's important to minimize false triggers to avoid additional costs.

Misconception 6: All information shared is kept confidential without limitations.

While the agreement stresses privacy, it also allows for sharing information among necessary parties in case of emergencies. Understanding this nuance is crucial.

Misconception 7: The service works during any phone outage.

The equipment relies on working electrical and phone service. Any outages can impede the device's ability to connect in emergencies.

Misconception 8: The agreement cannot be modified.

Although it forms the complete agreement between the parties, modifications can be made through written consent from both the subscriber and the program.

Having the right information helps clarify the intentions and responsibilities outlined in the Philips Lifeline Care Plan Agreement form. Knowing these details assists individuals in making informed decisions about the service.

Key takeaways

Accuracy is Key: When filling out the Philips Lifeline Care Plan Agreement form, ensure that all personal information, including emergency contact details and medical conditions, is accurate. This information is crucial for timely assistance during emergencies.
Responders Matter: Designate reliable responders. Clearly outline the individuals or services that should be contacted in an emergency. Make sure these responders are aware and agree to their roles mentioned in the form.
Understand Responsibilities: The agreement outlines duties for subscribers. This includes maintaining the equipment, allowing access for inspections, and testing the system regularly. Being proactive in these responsibilities ensures the service operates effectively.
Plan for Changes: If any information changes, such as a phone number or a responder's contact details, promptly update this on the form. Timely updates help prevent delays in emergency response.
Know the Terms: Familiarize yourself with the terms outlined in the agreement. Understanding the fees, frequency of payments, and provisions for terminating the service can prevent unexpected costs or service interruptions.
