I voluntarily consent to and authorize the laboratory conducting this testing (“The Lab”) and its authorized representatives to conduct collection, testing, and analysis for the purposes of a COVID-19 diagnostic and/or screening test. I acknowledge and understand that my COVID-19 diagnostic and/or screening test will require the collection of an appropriate sample by a healthcare provider through a nasopharyngeal swab, oral swab, or other recommended collection method.
I understand that this testing may be mandated by State or Federal regulations or by the rules and policies of my workplace or the sponsor of the event which I am attending. The Lab does not have any control over State or Federal regulations, or the rules and policies of privately sponsored testing.
I understand that the limited results of my test will be shared with Cinema Con organizers and Caesar’s Palace for purposes of maintaining COVID-19 policies.
Authorization and Consent for COVID-19 Testing
I understand there are risks associated with undergoing a diagnostic and/or screening test for COVID-19 and there may be a potential for false positive or false negative test results. I understand and take full and complete responsibility for any self-reporting and/or quarantining actions needed in regard to my test results. I understand that I must seek medical advice and/or treatment from my own healthcare provider and that The Lab nor its representatives are capable of providing medical advice.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, I hereby release, discharge and hold harmless, The Lab and its representatives, including, without limitation, any its respective members, officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents from any and all claims, liability, and damages, of whatever kind or nature, arising out of or in connection with any act or omission relating to my COVID-19 diagnostic test or the disclosure of my COVID-19 test results.
I understand that if I fail to provide a valid Photo ID that The Lab may not be able to verify may identity.
Authorization and Consent to Receive Results via Text Message and/or Electronic Mail
I consent to the receipt of my results via secure e-mail or via secure text message and understand that I must provide a valid e-mail address and/or telephone number along with valid birthdate in order to receive my results. I understand it is my responsibility to provide correct contact information and that the failure to do so may result in my inability to receive my results. Message and data rates may apply.
Opt-Out Policy for Text Message and/or Electronic Mail
I understand that the only way to receive my results is via text message and electronic mail. If at anytime I wish to stop receiving results via text message and/or electronic mail, I understand I must notify LabPort via email at [email protected]. Upon opt out I understand I will no longer have the ability to receive my results via text message and/or electronic mail.
Authorization and Consent for Billing
If I have selected that I do not have health insurance, by signing and submitting this registration I am confirming that I do not have health insurance coverage through any provider and have provided a valid social security number and valid photo ID. I authorize The Lab and/or or their assignee or designee to receive payments for this test on my behalf from my health insurance provider or other reimbursement from State or Federal programs made available for COVID-19 testing. I understand that with this assignment of benefit, I am responsible for any payments due if my insurer does not cover this test due to lapsed coverage. If my insurer sends the reimbursement to me directly, I am responsible for ensuring payment to The Lab. I authorize the release of necessary information that may be protected health information to the party processing the claim and authorize their action as my power of attorney for request of appeal and documents. I understand that an Explanation of Benefits is not a bill, and that in the unlikely event The Lab bills me directly, it will be clearly marked as an invoice.
I understand that this section is not applicable if I have voluntarily chosen to pay directly for this COVID-19 testing.
Authorization and Consent for Release of Results
I consent to the release of my COVID-19 test results to the Sponsor (as used herein, the “Sponsor” is the party who has engaged The Lab to conduct this testing) of this testing and to any parties required to receive the results of my COVID-19 test result either by law or by policy, including but limited to the hotel, event center, or physical premises at which I am conducting the testing. I acknowledge and agree that The Lab may disclose my test results and associated information to appropriate county, state, or other governmental and regulatory entities as may be required by law.
I understand that my employer or the site sponsoring this testing may require results in order for me to participate, attend, or otherwise be a part of an event or continue my stay on the physical premises. I understand that my information will be kept in the strictest confidentiality, and only the minimum information necessary to identify my result will be released, which may include my name and contact information, along with my result.
IN THE EVENT OF A POSITIVE RESULT, I understand that it may not be possible to contact me before the release of a positive result, and authorize the release of my positive result according to the guidelines set forth by the event organizer and/or the operator of the physical premises on which the event is conducted. I understand that my failure to disclose knowledge of a positive COVID-19 test result to The Lab, the event sponsor, or the operator of the physical premises, as may be required by law or the policies set forth by any of the aforementioned parties, is a liability of my own. I am responsible for self-reporting any positive results that I have received.
By signing and submitting my registration for COVID-19 testing, I acknowledge and agree that I have read, understand, and agreed to the statements contained within this form and the information herein is true and correct. I have been informed about the purpose of the COVID-19 diagnostic test, procedures to be performed, potential risks and benefits, and associated costs. I have been provided an opportunity to ask questions before proceeding with a COVID-19 diagnostic test and I understand that if I do not wish to continue with the collection, testing, or analysis of a COVID-19 diagnostic and/or screening test, I may decline to receive continued services.
