Telehealth Services Consent

1. What is Telehealth?

Telehealth is the delivery of healthcare services using electronic communications, information technology, or other means between a healthcare provider and a patient who are not in the same physical location. Telehealth may be used for diagnosis, treatment, follow-up care, patient education, and other health-related services.

2. Your Consent

By using NowGLP Order's telehealth services, you consent to receive medical care and treatment through telehealth technology. You understand that you have the right to withdraw this consent at any time by discontinuing the use of our services.

3. Benefits of Telehealth

Telehealth services offer several benefits, including:

• Convenient access to healthcare from your location
• Reduced travel time and costs
• Ability to receive care from the comfort of your home
• Reduced exposure to other patients who may be contagious
• Access to healthcare providers who may not be available locally

4. Risks and Limitations

While telehealth offers many benefits, there are also potential risks and limitations:

• Technical Issues: Information transmitted may not be sufficient to allow for appropriate medical decision-making
• Limited Physical Examination: The healthcare provider may not be able to perform a complete physical examination
• Security Risks: Despite security measures, there is a risk that your health information could be compromised
• Emergency Situations: Telehealth is not appropriate for emergency situations requiring immediate medical attention
• Technology Requirements: You must have access to appropriate technology and internet connection

5. When to Seek Emergency Care

Telehealth services are not appropriate for medical emergencies. If you experience any of the following, you should seek immediate emergency medical care:

• Chest pain or difficulty breathing
• Severe allergic reactions
• Loss of consciousness
• Severe trauma or injury
• Signs of stroke or heart attack
• Any other life-threatening condition

In case of a medical emergency, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room immediately.

6. Your Responsibilities

As a patient using telehealth services, you agree to:

• Provide accurate and complete information about your medical history and current condition
• Follow the healthcare provider's instructions and treatment recommendations
• Inform your healthcare provider of any changes in your condition
• Ensure you have appropriate technology and a secure internet connection
• Be in a private location during your consultation

8. Prescription Policy

Healthcare providers may prescribe medications when medically appropriate and in compliance with applicable laws. Not all consultations will result in a prescription. Prescriptions are subject to the healthcare provider's professional judgment and applicable regulations. Controlled substances may have additional restrictions.

9. Privacy and Confidentiality

We take your privacy seriously. All telehealth consultations are conducted in accordance with HIPAA and other applicable privacy laws. Your health information is protected and will only be shared as necessary for your care or as required by law. However, you should be aware that no method of electronic transmission is 100% secure.

10. Right to Withdraw Consent
