Patient – This Account type allows you to upload your Health Information and share it with individuals and entities whom you designate. Individuals and entities designated by you will have “read only” access to your Health Information, which means that they will only be able to view your Health Information and cannot upload new Health Information. No other individuals or entities will have access to your Health Information. You may also grant permission to certain doctors to upload Health Information to your Account provided the doctor(s) each have a Doctor-Full Access Account. A Patient Account also allows you to post other Content (as defined) below to your Account and/or the Site and have that Content viewed by others.

Doctor-Full Access – This Account type allows you to view and upload Health Information to Patient Accounts, provided the patient has granted you access to do so. You have no ability to modify or delete Health Information that is already posted to a patient’s Account. In order to open a Doctor-Full Access Account you must also have a current subscription to Giffen MedXCom, a separate service offered by Giffen. Click here MedXCom.com for additional information about Giffen MedXCom or to set up an account.

Doctor-Limited Access – If you are a doctor and do not have a current subscription to Giffen MedXCom, you are eligible for a Doctor-Limited Access Account by registering through MedXCom Patient. This Account gives you “read only” access to view Health Information of patients who grant you access to view their Accounts.
