This includes sites like WebMD.com, MedicineNet.com, RxList.com, OnHealth.com, and eMedicineHealth.com, as well as their mobile-optimized versions and our Mobile Device Applications or "Apps" (collectively referred to as the “WebMD Sites”).

However, if you are an employee or a member of a health plan and have granted access to your health record on WebMD.com through registration on your employer's or health plan's website, the privacy policy of that website continues to govern your personal health record on WebMD.com. Should your employer or health plan cease to provide access to your account, you will still be able to access your health information via WebMD.com using your existing username and password, but this Privacy Policy will then apply.Unless specified otherwise, the principles outlined in this Privacy Policy regarding the WebMD Sites are also relevant to the Apps. If you prefer not to have your information collected, used, or disclosed as described in this Privacy Policy, you should refrain from using the Services. By utilizing the Services, you consent to the WebMD Terms of Use, which constitute a binding agreement between us and the users of the Services.

After ordering a test, users visit a designated testing center for sample collection by a qualified lab technician. WebMD has partnered with PWNHealth for care coordination (including independent physician review of test orders) and administrative services (such as processing payments for lab test orders). Registering with WebMD is required for lab test orders, and WebMD will share registration information with PWNHealth for processing these orders. You will access your lab test orders and results from PWNHealth via your WebMD account, but WebMD does not receive your lab test results or payment information. Only PWNHealth accesses this information. PWNHealth may share aggregate data that does not identify individuals with WebMD. PWNHealth’s use of your information in providing lab testing services is governed by its privacy policy and terms of use. Interactions with WebMD Lab Testing may involve pages hosted by either WebMD or PWNHealth. This Privacy Policy covers information collected by WebMD during your use of WebMD’s Services, while PWNHealth’s privacy policy applies to its hosted pages. For clarity, this Privacy Policy only pertains to WebMD-hosted site pages. WebMD and PWNHealth may use cookies and tracking technologies to gather information about your use of WebMD Lab Testing, including viewed lab tests, and to analyze trends and user behavior on lab testing pages. Apart from PWNHealth, WebMD does not allow third parties to collect data during lab test purchases through WebMD Lab Testing. Moreover, WebMD does not use personal information from lab testing for advertising on or off the WebMD Sites.Email Newsletters
