II. What is Telehealth?
Telehealth involves the delivery of health and wellness services using electronic communications, information technology, or other means between a licensed, certified, or registered healthcare professional at one location and a patient in another location about a clinical matter. Telehealth may be used for diagnosis, treatment, follow-up and/or patient education. These telehealth services may involve various modalities, including asynchronous interactions, real-time (synchronous) video and audio encounters, and interactive audio with store and forward. This “Telehealth Informed Consent” informs the patient (“patient,” “you,” or “your”) concerning the treatment methods, risks, and limitations of utilizing telehealth to meet your health and wellness needs.
III. What are the Possible Benefits of Telehealth?
Benefits of telehealth include being easier and more efficient for you to access health and wellness services. You can obtain health and wellness services at times that are convenient for you without the necessity of an in-office appointment, including follow-up care related to your treatment. If you need follow-up care, please contact us through the REGNR8RX, LLC. call center at 561-527-2339 or [email protected].
IV. What are the Possible Risks of Telehealth?
Information transmitted to your health professional may not be sufficient to allow for appropriate health or wellness services to meet your need. Some clinical needs may not be appropriate for a telehealth visit and your Provider will make that determination. The technology necessary to interact with your health professional may fail and delay your services. If a technical failure prevents you from communicating with your Providers, you should call the following number: 561-527-2339 or [email protected].
In rare events, a lack of access to complete medical records, and/or the quality of transmitted data could result in adverse drug interactions, allergic reactions, and/or other clinical judgment errors. You may stop or decline any on-going Healthcare Services provided by REGNR8RX, LLC. using telehealth technologies at any time, although you acknowledge that applicable fees may apply if a medical consultation has occurred prior to request to cancel services and REGNR8RX, LLC. has no obligation for your on-going care or selection of separate healthcare services in such circumstances.
I understand that certain diagnostic testing services, including laboratory products and services offered through the REGNR8RX Platform to support the Healthcare Services of Providers, may contain defects, including ones which may limit functionality or produce erroneous results, any, or all of which could limit or otherwise impact the quality, accuracy and/or effectiveness of the medical care or other services that I receive from my Provider(s).
