about us
Welcome to Quilted Health! We are focused on helping you receive evidence-based and nurturing community-centered pregnancy-related and reproductive care
Journey Health, Inc. dba Quilted Health (“Journey Health” or “we,” “us,” “our”), provides management and administrative services to Quilted Health Professional Services Corporation and other professional service corporations (each a “Practice” and collectively the “Practices”).

Journey Health also provides non-clinical services to independent practices, including without limitation an electronic health record platform (the “Platform”) known as Maternity Neighborhood (“Maternity Neighborhood”), revenue cycle management, and business and administrative services. Journey Health makes information about these services as well as other resources available on our websites, www.quiltedhealth.com and www.maternityneighborhood.com (“Website”), which facilitates a patient’s (“Patients”) connection to pregnancy services, providers (“Providers”) and clients for pregnancy-related care, as well as the provision of that care. (Collectively, we refer to the Platform, the Website, and other services provided by Journey Health as the “Services.”)

Any person who accesses the Sites is referred to in these Terms as a “User,” or “you.” Section 1 below describes how the Terms apply to different types of Users.
These Terms shall include any additional terms that you accept in connection with using certain Services, and incorporate by reference the Practice’s Notice of Privacy Practices (“NPP”), which governs our collection, use and disclosure of Protected Health Information (“PHI”), as defined by the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”).

detailed terms of service
1. users of our sites and services.
a) Applicability. These Terms apply to several categories of users: (1) visitors to our Sites (“Visitors”); (2) Patients of the Practices (“QH Patients”); (3) Providers who use Maternity Neighborhood (“MN Providers”); and (4) patients of independent practices (“Network Patients”). Collectively, Visitors, QH Patients, MN Providers and Network Patients are hereinafter referred to as “Users” or “you,” and unless otherwise specified below, either in text or in a section heading, these Terms apply to all Users.
b) Registered Users. The Sites may allow you to register for certain Services by providing a username/email address (“User ID”) and password and thus become a Registered User. These are your credentials for accessing portions of the Journey Health Sites appropriate to your type of use of the Sites. You are responsible for protecting your User ID and password and should log out at the end of each session. You are responsible for all activity on your Account, and you are responsible for any internet or data charges you may incur when accessing the Sites or Services. You agree to immediately inform us if your User ID is compromised, meaning someone may have access to or have used your User ID without your permission.

By registering for an account on the Sites (“Account”) as a Registered User, you represent and warrant (meaning you agree) that (a) all required registration information you submit is truthful and accurate; (b) you will maintain the accuracy of such information, and provide updated information if the submitted information changes or is otherwise no longer accurate; and (c) that you are at least 18 years old or if under 18, are a parent, pregnant, or declared emancipated by a court order or otherwise determined to be an emancipated minor as determined by the state where you live.
d) QH Patients and Network Patients. If you register as a Registered User because you have been invited to do so by a Practice or your provider so that you can access your health records and communicate with your Provider via the Sites, then please be advised that Journey Health is a business associate or contractor of your Provider under the federal health care privacy and security laws and regulations known as HIPAA, and that we will be storing and sharing your health information in accordance with the NPP provided to you by your provider; for QH Patients, the NPP is available here.

a) Overall. Users can access our Services as set forth on our Sites. Please see our Privacy Policy for further information on our treatment of personal information not protected by HIPAA.

Your withdrawal of consent will be effective within a reasonable time or any time period required under applicable law after we receive your withdrawal notice described above.
There are some communications regarding our Services, however, that you may not be able to opt out of and your withdrawal of consent will not affect the legal validity or enforceability of other provisions of these Terms.

5. telehealth services and permission.
“Telehealth” is the delivery of healthcare services using technology when the patient receiving the Services is not in the same location as the provider. Telehealth Services may be used for diagnosis, treatment, care, follow-up and/or education, and may include, without limitation, the following: electronic transmission of medical records and/or other patient data or information; synchronous (i.e., “real time”) and asynchronous (i.e., non-“real time”) interactions via audio, video, text, and/or data or other electronic communications; automated, electronic or digital tools or services for diagnosis, care, treatment and/or communication pertaining to healthcare or medical matters; and output, transmission or exchange of data from medical devices, sound and video files.
Journey Health may now or in the future provide the technology to enable Telehealth as part of its Services. Your provider may choose (or not) to provide services via Telehealth. By using Telehealth Services, you acknowledge the risks associated with Telehealth, which may include insufficient transmission of data or information to allow for appropriate medical or healthcare decision making. Further, you understand that it may be possible that your needs cannot be met via Telehealth Services, and you may be directed to seek additional in-person care. Your provider may require you to sign additional consents or provide you with additional information related to receiving services by telehealth.
BY USING TELEHEALTH, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT JOURNEY HEALTH IS SOLELY PROVIDING THE TELEHEALTH TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM AND IS NOT PROVIDING MEDICAL ADVICE OR HEALTHCARE SERVICES. JOURNEY HEALTH DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED – AND SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY – IN CONNECTION WITH ANY HEALTHCARE SERVICES, MEDICAL ADVICE, PRESCRIPTIONS OR MEDICATION RECOMMENDATIONS DELIVERED THROUGH THE SERVICES.

The Sites may contain links to other sites that are owned and operated by third parties. Journey Health does not endorse, and is not responsible for, the content and accuracy of linked online websites, mobile websites, platforms, services, and applications operated by third parties or for any actions or inactions taken by or interactions with such third parties.

11. dispute resolution.
Please read the following arbitration agreement in this section (“Arbitration Agreement”) carefully. It requires you to arbitrate disputes with Journey Health and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.
This Arbitration Agreements applies to Users who are Visitors, QH Patients and Network Patients. If you are an MN Provider, the Arbitration and Dispute Resolution Terms of the Master Services Agreement into which you and Quilted Health entered will govern dispute resolution.
a) Definition. For purposes of this section, “Dispute” shall mean any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use (such as with respect to their validity or enforceability); the Sites and Services; your (or anybody else’s) access to and/or use of the Sites and Services; and/or the provision of Content, Services, and/or technology on or through the Sites. Disputes concerning patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, and claims of piracy or unauthorized use of the Sites shall not be subject to arbitration.
b) Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. Except if prohibited by law, you agree that any Dispute will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that (i) you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify, so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis and (ii) you or Journey Health may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents). This Arbitration Agreement shall apply, without limitation, to all claims that arose or were asserted before the Effective Date of these Terms (or any prior version of these Terms).
BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION WITH JOURNEY HEALTH, YOU ARE AGREEING IN ADVANCE THAT YOU WILL NOT PARTICIPATE IN OR SEEK TO RECOVER MONETARY OR OTHER RELIEF IN ANY LAWSUIT FILED AGAINST JOURNEY HEALTH ALLEGING CLASS, COLLECTIVE, AND/OR REPRESENTATIVE CLAIMS ON YOUR BEHALF. INSTEAD, BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, YOU MAY BRING YOUR CLAIMS AGAINST JOURNEY HEALTH IN AN INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION PROCEEDING. IF SUCCESSFUL ON SUCH CLAIMS, YOU COULD BE AWARDED MONEY OR OTHER RELIEF BY AN ARBITRATOR. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT YOU MAY CONSULT WITH AN ATTORNEY IN DECIDING WHETHER TO ACCEPT THESE TERMS OF USE, INCLUDING THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.
c) Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by these Terms, and administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and fee information are available at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1 (800) 778-7879. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitration fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. The decision from the arbitration will be in writing and binding and conclusive on Journey Health and you, and judgment to enforce the decision may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction. Journey Health and you agree that dispositive motions, including without limitation motions to dismiss and motions for summary judgment, will be allowed in the arbitration. The arbitrator(s) must follow these Terms of Use and can award the same damages and relief as a court, including injunctive or other equitable relief and attorneys’ fees. Journey Health and you understand that, absent this mandatory arbitration provision, Journey Health and you would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. Journey Health and you further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and that the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.
d) Arbitration Forum. You or Journey Health may choose to pursue a claim in small claims court where jurisdiction and venue over you and Journey Health otherwise qualify for such small claims court and where the claim does not include a request for any type of equitable relief. However, if you decide to pursue a claim in small claims court, you still agree to provide Journey Health 30 days’ advance notice by email to legal@quiltedhealth.com and by U.S. mail to Attn: Legal Department Journey Health Inc dba Quilted Health 1329 N 47th Street, Unit 31112, Seattle WA 98103.
e) Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to (i) determine the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement and (ii) resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Arbitration Agreement, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Journey Health. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and these Terms of Use (including this Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us.
f) 30-Day Opt-Out. You have the right to opt out of and not be bound by the provisions requiring arbitration by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to Journey Health by email to legal@quiltedhealth.com and by U.S. mail to Attn: Legal Department Journey Health Inc dba Quilted Health 1329 N 47th Street, Unit 31112, Seattle WA 98103. The notice must be sent within 30 days of your first use of any of our Services. If you do not opt out via this method, you will be bound to arbitrate Disputes in accordance with the Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of the provisions requiring arbitration, Journey Health will not be bound by these provisions either. If any clause within this Disputes/Arbitration section is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that specific clause will be severed from this section, and the remainder of its provisions will be given full force and effect.
g) Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND JOURNEY HEALTH HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and Journey Health are instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified otherwise in this section. An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow these Terms as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is very limited.
h) Severability. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class/consolidated/representative action waiver set forth in this section is void or unenforceable for any reason or that arbitration can proceed on a class, consolidated, or representative basis, then the disputes, claims, or controversies will not be subject to arbitration and must be litigated in a federal court located in Delaware. If any clause within this Class Action Waiver section (below) is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that specific clause will be severed from this section, and the remainder of its provisions will be given full force and effect.
i) Waiver of Class Action. This Waiver of the Class Action section will also apply to any claims asserted by you against any present or future parent, subsidiary, or affiliated company of Journey Health, or any employee, officer, director, or investor of Journey Health, and to any claims asserted by any of them against you, to the extent that any such claims are a Dispute.
j) Survival. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with Journey Health.
k) Modification. Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, we agree that if Journey Health makes any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, we will provide advance written notice.
12. general provisions
a) Compliance with Laws. You are responsible for compliance with all applicable laws.
b) Choice of Laws. These Terms and your use of the Services shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws. Subject to the requirement to arbitrate set forth below, exclusive jurisdiction for all disputes that do not require arbitration will be the state and federal courts located in Delaware, and you consent to the jurisdiction of those courts. If any provision of these Terms shall be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
c) Non-Assignment. We may assign this Agreement at any time to a subsidiary or parent company or to a successor to its business as part of a merger or sale of substantially all of its assets. You may not assign or transfer your rights and/or duties under these Terms to anyone else, and any attempted assignment or delegation is void.
d) Headings. The paragraph headings in these Terms, shown in boldface type, are included only to help make these Terms easier to read and have no binding effect.
e) Waiver. Any delay or failure by us to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. No waiver by us will have effect unless such waiver is set forth in writing, signed by us; nor will any such waiver of any breach or default constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or default.
f) Severability. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms to be unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to affect the intent of the parties, and the remainder of these Terms will continue in full force and effect.
g) Entire Agreement. These Terms along with the agreements referenced in these Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and us with regard to the matters described above and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals (whether oral, written, or electronic) between you and Journey Health with respect to the Services. A printed version of these Terms and of any notice given in electronic form will be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings relating to these Terms to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents originally generated and maintained in printed form. For purposes of any dispute, Journey Health’s records shall be conclusive in all respects.
h) Force Majeure. We will not be deemed to be in breach of these Terms or liable for any breach of these Terms or of the Privacy Policy due to any event or occurrence beyond our reasonable control, including without limitation acts of God, pandemics, epidemics, terrorism, war, invasion, failures of any public networks, electrical shortages, earthquakes or floods, civil disorder, strikes, fire, or other disaster.
i) Third Parties. Unless expressly stated in these Terms to the contrary, nothing herein is intended to confer any rights or remedies on any persons other than you, Journey Health, and our affiliates. Nothing in these Terms is intended to relieve or discharge the obligation or liability of any third persons to you, Journey Health, and our affiliates, nor shall any provision give any third parties any right of subrogation or action against you, Journey Health and our affiliates. Some of the treatment information provided on the Sites and Services is from third-party sources. Every effort has been made to ensure that the information is accurate, up-to-date, and complete, but no guarantee is made to that effect.
