This Telehealth Consent (“Consent”) applies to services obtained from the Professional Entities set forth in the TrueMeds Terms & Conditions.
Telehealth allows healthcare providers to assess and treat patients remotely using technology. This may involve transmitting medical records, photos, and other personal and health information or data through various methods, including dynamic intake forms, live 2-way video, and audio. The electronic systems used in the Services incorporate network and software security protocols to protect the privacy and security of your personal information.
Possible benefits of telehealth: Telehealth allows you to interact with your provider at times and locations that are convenient for you, without the need for an in-office appointment.
Possible risks of telehealth: Telehealth services are not a substitute for ongoing, in-person care from your local physician. Due to the limitations of remote consultations, including the absence of complete medical records and the inability to conduct physical examinations, certain risks are associated with telehealth.
To ensure accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment, you must provide a comprehensive medical history, including all diagnoses, treatments, medications, and supplements. Failure to disclose complete information may result in misdiagnosis, inappropriate treatment, or adverse outcomes.
Your provider may recommend alternative care or an in-person consultation with your local physician and may decline to provide a prescription or other treatment based on the limitations of telehealth.
Technical or internet disruptions, such as poor video and audio quality or service interruptions, may cause delays in evaluation, consultation, diagnosis, or treatment. If you experience technical difficulties during a telehealth session, please contact your provider immediately.
Telehealth is not suitable for all medical situations, particularly emergencies or allergic/adverse reactions. In such cases, contact your local physician or proceed to an emergency room. For medical emergencies, dial 911.
While security protocols are in place, there is a potential risk of privacy breaches and unauthorized disclosure of your health information.
Please be aware that state laws may restrict or prohibit telehealth services, including the prescribing of medications, in your area.
By using the Services, you acknowledge and agree to the following regarding telehealth services provided by the Professional Entities.
