Independent Medical Providers & TRC’s Role

1. Purpose and scope

Tissue Restoration Center (“TRC,” “we,” or “us”) provides nonclinical patient services. Depending on the selected arrangement, these may include surgeon information review, financial comparison, consultation coordination, scheduling, practical preparation, and recovery-related administrative support.

Surgeons, physicians, anesthesia professionals, medical practices, surgical facilities, and other clinical providers referenced through TRC are called “Independent Medical Providers” in this notice. Each furnishes its own services under its professional responsibilities and applicable law.

This notice applies to TRC websites, digital platforms, provider information, and TRC-assisted planning and communications.

2. Independent providers and clinical authority

TRC does not practice medicine or provide surgery, anesthesia, diagnosis, prescriptions, or clinical treatment through its patient services. TRC does not supervise or override an Independent Medical Provider’s clinical judgment.

A provider’s listing, registration, communication with TRC, or treatment of a patient using TRC services does not, by itself, establish employment, agency, partnership, joint venture, ownership, or a clinical contractor relationship with TRC.

Listing or registration does not authorize either party to make commitments on the other’s behalf. Any administrative authority must arise from the applicable arrangement and remain within its authorized scope.

Coordinated scheduling, shared planning information, or presentation within a TRC platform does not, by itself, mean that a provider practices medicine on TRC’s behalf. Actual relationships and responsibilities remain subject to applicable law.

3. Responsibility for medical care

Each Independent Medical Provider is responsible for the clinical services it undertakes to provide, within its professional role. Those responsibilities may include:

• Evaluating medical history, health, and suitability for treatment.
• Recommending procedures and explaining alternatives, risks, benefits, and limitations.
• Obtaining informed consent and providing prescriptions, anesthesia, or treatment.
• Managing clinical technique, staffing, equipment, infection prevention, and facility services.
• Providing postoperative instructions and clinical follow-up.
• Assessing and treating complications or arranging appropriate additional care.

Providers independently decide whether to accept a patient and which services to recommend or perform.

TRC’s planning summaries, educational information, financial reviews, and scheduling assistance do not establish medical suitability, authorize treatment, or replace clinical evaluation and informed consent.

4. Your choice of physician

You decide whether to seek a consultation, obtain another opinion, proceed with treatment, or change providers. You may bring a physician you already know or are considering into your TRC planning.

Using TRC’s generally available nonclinical services does not require you to choose a TRC-registered surgeon.

Specific coordination services may depend on a practice’s willingness to participate, necessary authorizations, availability, and practical arrangements. TRC will explain material limitations before you commit to an affected service.

A limitation on what TRC can coordinate does not restrict your ability to seek care independently. Your choice also does not require a physician to accept you as a patient or perform a requested procedure.

5. Provider information and registration

TRC organizes available information to support informed patient decisions. Sources may include providers, licensing authorities, certification organizations, professional registries, and public records.

“Independent Surgeon” and “Registered Surgeon” describe informational or administrative status. Registration relates to participation in TRC’s administrative coordination process. It is not a medical quality ranking, specialty certification, or guarantee of competence or results.

A review is limited to its stated scope; it does not establish that every relevant record has been examined or that a provider has no complaints, restrictions, claims, or disciplinary history.

Information may be incomplete or change over time. A profile, listing, search position, comparison, or registration does not establish that a provider is clinically appropriate for a particular patient.

TRC will review reported material inaccuracies and make appropriate corrections when substantiated.

6. Coordination and communications

Within your selected services and applicable authorizations, TRC coordinates administrative arrangements and questions with the relevant practices and organizations.

That work may include consultations, scheduling, estimates, practical preparation, and communication about outstanding information. It does not authorize TRC to interpret symptoms, provide clinical clearance, change medications, approve treatment, or modify medical instructions.

Questions requiring medical judgment must be answered by the responsible clinical team. Sending a message to TRC does not establish that your treating provider has received or reviewed it.

Your provider’s clinical instructions remain the source of guidance for treatment, preparation, and medical recovery.

7. Separate services, agreements, and fees

TRC’s patient services are separate from the medical services furnished by Independent Medical Providers.

TRC charges for its own services. TRC does not share in your surgeon’s professional fee.

Independent providers establish their own charges and financial terms, including deposits, payment deadlines, cancellation policies, refunds, and charges for revisions or additional care.

TRC’s fees and independent provider charges remain separately identifiable, including when presented in one cost overview. A combined overview does not mean TRC provides every service, receives every payment, or guarantees another organization’s obligations.

Provider agreements and informed-consent documents address the relevant clinical services. Your TRC arrangement identifies TRC’s services and financial terms. Administrative coordination does not independently change a provider’s policies or create a promise of reimbursement.

8. Clinical outcomes and accountability

Medical procedures involve risks, and outcomes vary. Complications, dissatisfaction, additional treatment, and additional expense may occur.

TRC does not guarantee an Independent Medical Provider’s clinical performance, a particular aesthetic result, or the absence of complications. TRC does not provide professional liability coverage for independent providers.

Responsibility for medical negligence or other clinical conduct is determined by the facts and applicable law.

TRC remains responsible for its own services and conduct as required by law. This notice does not waive patient rights or exclude liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including liability arising from TRC’s own negligent representations or a legally established agency relationship.

9. Medical concerns and emergencies

TRC’s Care Planners and messaging tools provide nonclinical coordination. They are not emergency services or substitutes for medical assessment.

Follow your treating provider’s instructions for medical concerns. Do not wait for a TRC response when medical attention is needed.

For a medical emergency in the United States, call 911 or seek emergency medical care. Do not use TRC messaging for emergencies.

10. Questions, corrections, and concerns

For questions about TRC’s role, concerns about TRC’s services, or potentially inaccurate provider information, contact:

care@tissuerestorationcenter.com

Direct clinical questions, treatment concerns, and requests for a provider’s medical records to the responsible professional or facility. TRC may coordinate authorized administrative communications but does not determine whether medical malpractice occurred.

You may also contact the appropriate professional licensing or oversight authority. Nothing in this notice limits that right.
