Medical Consent
Last updated: April 14, 2026
WE ARE NOT A REPLACEMENT FOR EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES. IF YOU HAVE A MEDICAL EMERGENCY SEEK EMERGENCY MEDICAL CARE IMMEDIATELY IN-PERSON OR DIAL 911 OR YOUR LOCAL EMERGENCY NUMBER.
We may change these terms at any time, as required by law. This may include changing, adding, or removing terms. We may do this in response to legal, business, competitive environment or other reasons not listed here.
Telehealth Consent
Telehealth is the type of care that allows clients to access health services using audio-video interface such as videoconferencing, as well as asynchronous communication methods such as patient-submitted questionnaires reviewed by licensed physicians.
Electronic systems used will incorporate network and software security protocols to protect the confidentiality of client identification and imaging data and will include measures to safeguard the data and to ensure its integrity against intentional or unintentional corruption.
Expected Benefits
- Improved access to health care by enabling a client to receive services across distances and between programs.
- More efficient health care including medical evaluation and management.
- Obtaining expertise of a distant specialist.
- Maintaining connections with established providers in other areas.
Possible Risks
As with any medical procedure, there are potential risks associated with the use of telehealth. These risks include, but may not be limited to:
- In rare cases, information transmitted may not be sufficient (e.g. poor resolution of images) to allow for appropriate medical decision making by the physician or other clinical staff.
- Delays in medical evaluation and treatment could occur due to deficiencies or failures of the equipment.
- In very rare instances, security protocols could fail, causing a breach of privacy of personal medical information.
- In rare cases, a lack of access to complete medical records may result in adverse drug interactions or allergic reactions or other judgment errors.
By Using Our Services, You Understand
- That the laws that protect privacy and the confidentiality of medical information also apply to telehealth, and that no information obtained in the use of telehealth which identifies you will be disclosed to researchers or other entities without your consent.
- That you have the right to withhold or withdraw your consent to the use of telehealth in the course of your care at any time, without affecting your right to future care or treatment.
- That you have the right to inspect all information obtained and documented in the course of a telehealth interaction and may receive copies of this information for a reasonable fee.
- That a variety of alternative methods of health care may be available to you, and that you may choose one or more of these at any time.
- That it is in your best interest to inform your physician or other clinical staff of any other healthcare providers involved in your medical care.
- That you may expect the anticipated benefits from the use of telehealth in your care, but that no results can be guaranteed or assured.
Your continued use of the services constitutes your understanding and acceptance of the above terms and you hereby authorize the use of telehealth in the course of your diagnosis and treatment.
HIPAA Consent
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) provides safeguards to protect your privacy. This form is a summary version. A more complete text is available through our office. Additional information is available from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services at www.hhs.gov.
Our Policies

This specifically includes the sharing of information with other healthcare providers, laboratories, and health insurance payers as is necessary and appropriate for your care.
- It is the policy of this office to remind patients of their appointments and treatment schedules. We may do this by telephone, e-mail, U.S. mail, or by any means convenient for the practice and/or as requested by you.
