*UPS Expedited Guarantee Terms:
Suspension of Service Guarantee
Effective March 26, 2020 and until further notice, UPS has suspended the UPS Service Guarantee for all shipments from any origin to any destination. For all U.S. origin shipments, the Service Guarantee suspension became effective as of March 24, 2020.  This means that UPS will not credit back any shipping fees for delayed shipments, thus coVita will not be able to apply any credits for delayed shipments.

Not all service levels are available for all areas.  The expedited guarantee does not apply to UPS Air Services shipments which are delayed due to causes beyond UPS’s control including, but not limited to, the following: The unavailability or refusal of a person to accept delivery of the shipment, acts of God, public authorities acting with actual or apparent authority on the premises, acts or omissions of Customs or similar authorities, riots, strikes or other labor disputes, civil commotions, disruptions in air or ground transportation networks, such as weather phenomena, and natural disasters. The guarantee does not apply to UPS 2nd Day Air or UPS 2nd Day Air A.M. shipments that are scheduled to be delivered between December 12 and December 25. The guarantee does not apply to UPS Air Services Shipments of Hazardous Materials or Dangerous Goods Shipments, and all international Hazardous Materials or Dangerous Goods Shipments.

Questions and Comments

It is the customers sole responsibility to be sure that all protected healthcare information (PHI) as defined by Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA Statute) or by any other related federal or state statutes or laws, has been removed from any monitor(s) you are returning to coVita (including but not limited to such items as patient names, patient ID numbers, and patient social security numbers) and has been backed-up to your internal database, EHR system, or Bedsoft Software prior to returning any monitor(s).  coVita has a strict policy not to collect PHI from our clients/customers and it is our policy to delete (or destroy in the case of paper copies) any PHI sent to us intentionally or unintentionally, unless through an executed agreement.  Any monitor(s) returned to us will likely be reprogrammed during any Service/Repair/Return process which will result in the permanent and irreversible erasure and deletion of any PHI contained on your monitor(s). coVita is not responsible for PHI that has been destroyed or deleted from the monitor(s) once they are in our possession, regardless of whether that deletion is intentional or unintentional.  Please speak with your client manager if you need assistance with coVita’s PHI policy.
