This provision explicitly establishes the out-of-network, cash-pay structure of the platform and requires users to acknowledge in advance that no insurance or government program reimbursement will be sought. This affects users who may have assumed coverage eligibility and may have implications under federal healthcare program exclusion and anti-kickback frameworks depending on how affiliated providers are structured.
Under this clause, all telehealth consultations, prescription products, laboratory services, and weight loss membership fees are the user's sole financial responsibility, with no reimbursement submitted to Medicare, Medicaid, or commercial insurance plans. The agreement requires users to affirmatively acknowledge this cash-pay structure as a condition of using the service.

"By choosing to use the Service, you are specifically choosing to obtain products and services on a cash basis outside of any federal or state healthcare program or commercial payer. Thus, you are solely responsible for the costs of any service or product provided to you. By agreeing to use the Service, you acknowledge and agree that (1) you are explicitly choosing to obtain products and services on a cash basis outside of any federal or state healthcare program or commercial payer program and you have sole financial responsibility for all services or products provided to you by or through the Service; and (2) neither you nor Hims & Hers, the Labs, the Pharmacies, the Medical Groups or the Providers will submit a claim for reimbursement to any federal or state healthcare program or commercial payer for the costs of the services and products provided to you through the Service.Excerpt from Hims & Hers's Terms and Conditions
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: The explicit exclusion of Medicare and Medicaid billing engages the federal anti-kickback statute and civil monetary penalty provisions applicable to healthcare providers who are enrolled in federal programs, to the extent any affiliated Providers or Medical Groups participate in those programs in other contexts. The FTC Act applies to any representations about cost and coverage made during the checkout or enrollment process. State consumer protection laws may impose additional disclosure requirements regarding out-of-pocket costs for health services. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low to Medium. The cash-pay model is operationally straightforward and the disclosure is explicit. However, if any affiliated Providers or Medical Groups are separately enrolled in federal healthcare programs, the no-reimbursement policy may require evaluation against federal program participation rules and fraud and abuse statutes. JURISDICTION FLAGS: States with price transparency requirements for telehealth services may impose additional disclosure obligations. Any states in which affiliated Providers hold dual enrollment in federal programs should be assessed for compliance with federal no-balance-billing and non-assignment of benefits rules. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: The cash-pay structure has implications for any B2B or employer benefit arrangements that reference or integrate Hims & Hers services, as the platform explicitly excludes commercial payer reimbursement. Employers or benefits administrators integrating platform access as a benefit should evaluate whether the cash-pay acknowledgment is consistent with their plan design and applicable ERISA requirements. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should confirm that the cash-pay acknowledgment is presented clearly at checkout and that affiliated Providers and Medical Groups understand and comply with the no-claims-submission commitment. Any future expansion into employer benefit or insurance-adjacent arrangements should be reviewed against this provision to avoid inconsistency.
