Permission to Participate in Telehealth Consultation and Treatment
1. Purpose: The purpose of this Telehealth Permission Form is to get permission from patients to use the telehealth services during the treatment.
2. Medical Information & Records: Medical history and test details can be discussed with other healthcare professionals. The patient will be contacted via video and audio or audio only during a telehealth appointment/visit. Video, audio, or any other digital photo of the patient can be recorded during the telehealth visit for treatment purposes only. Information will be protected under HIPAA.
3. Patient Rights: The patient can withhold or withdraw the consent or permission to telehealth consultation/treatment at any time.
4. Limitations: The telehealth appointment/visit will be similar to the regular office or in-clinic visit. Because this service uses videoconference technology, the visit may not be equivalent to or adequate as the regular in-clinic visit. The patient may be recommended a visit physically after the telehealth visit by his or her healthcare provider for certain services. Telehealth has limitations compared to in-person consultations, including the potential for technical issues.
I have been informed about the potential limitations, benefits of the telehealth practices and confidentiality of personal and medical information, and records. The opportunity to ask questions had been given to me and they were answered completely. I have understood the information and I have given my permission to participate in Telehealth Consultation.
