CONSENT TO TREATMENT

General Consent to Treatment:
You have the right to be informed about Your condition and recommended therapeutic or diagnostic procedures to be used so that You may make the decision whether or not to undergo any suggested treatment or procedure after being informed of the risks and benefits involved. This consent provides the Doctor with Your permission to perform reasonable and necessary treatment for You and continues until You revoke it in writing. You will not be provided with any treatment unless you complete the Site questionnaire and have obtained lab results which are required to be uploaded for review by the Doctor. You have the right at any time to discontinue healthcare services. You understand that the practice of medicine is not an exact science and that diagnosis and treatment may involve risk to Your health. You understand that there are risks and benefits when receiving health care services. You understand that when you receive care, the risks and benefits of such care will be explained to You and you will have the opportunity to ask the Doctor questions about such risks and benefits (and we encourage you to ask such questions). You understand that there will be no physical examination so there is the risk that an additional diagnosis (which may include, but not be limited to thyroid cancer) may not be determined. The Doctor may determine that an office visit is required and You understand that any office visit with the Doctor is not available. Please consult your primary care doctor for all issues concerning Your health.

You have disclosed all Your known health conditions, allergies and medications, including herbal medications/supplements. You understand that certain treatment options that you may receive from, or medications prescribed by the Doctor can be dangerous and may result in medical care that is unnecessary if you have misrepresented Your current health care condition and status. You have truthfully supplied information about Your health care condition and status when answering any questions either on the Site or during any virtual examination with the Doctor.

Consent to Remote Treatment:

I hereby consent to remote diagnosis, treatment and education by the Doctor through the Site through the use of synchronous and asynchronous audio and video communication commonly known as telehealth or telemedicine technology (collectively, telehealth technology). I acknowledge that diagnosis, treatment and education through the use of telehealth technology will involve collecting information, including protected health information. I acknowledge that health information will be transmitted, stored, and reviewed in compliance with applicable laws. I acknowledge that while telehealth technology may improve access to care and treatment outcomes, as with any technology facilitated diagnosis, treatment and/or education, there are risks and results cannot be guaranteed. The risks associated with telehealth technology include, and are not limited to, technical problems and equipment malfunctions that may result in omission, loss, or compromise of information necessary for my diagnosis, treatment, or education and that such omission, loss, or compromise of information may result in adverse consequences to You. I understand it is my responsibility to clearly explain symptoms, medical/surgical history, and allergies, and to provide any other information as needed for a treatment plan. I acknowledge that diagnosis, treatment and education using telehealth technology requires health information, including personal health information (“PHI”) to be transmitted through audio and video technology and that health information may be lost, compromised and/or accessed by unauthorized persons during transmission. I understand that I have a right to withhold or withdraw my consent to the use of telehealth technology in the course of care at any time, and that doing so may terminate treatment. You authorize the Site and Doctor to share information pertaining to health care services received with other individuals for treatment, payment and health care operations purposes. By scheduling a visit using our HIPAA compliant forms or accepting this Agreement, You acknowledge that this statement is your Informed Consent to Treat, and that You have read and understand this Consent, and voluntarily request the Doctor to perform reasonable and necessary treatment.
