Telehealth Consent

Telehealth consent confirms your agreement to receive healthcare services remotely using secure technology. It acknowledges benefits, limitations, privacy protections, and your right to ask questions or withdraw consent at any time.

1. Consent to Receive Telehealth Services

By creating an account or providing your contact information, you consent to receive communications from OptiME Health, including SMS messages. You may opt out at any time by replying STOP. Message frequency may vary.

2. Understanding Telehealth Limitations

Telehealth may limit physical examinations or diagnostic capabilities. You acknowledge that certain conditions may require in-person evaluation, and providers may recommend alternative care when remote services are not clinically appropriate.

3. Privacy and Data Security Acknowledgment

Telehealth services use secure technology to protect your information. While safeguards are in place, you understand there are inherent risks with electronic communication and consent to receive care using these platforms.

4. Right to Ask Questions

You have the right to ask questions about telehealth services, technology used, potential risks, and alternatives at any time before or during care, ensuring informed participation in your health decisions.

5. Voluntary Participation and Withdrawal

Participation in telehealth is voluntary. You may withdraw consent or request in-person care at any time without affecting your right to future treatment or access to OptiME Health services.

6. Emergency Care Acknowledgment

Telehealth is not intended for medical emergencies. You agree to seek immediate in-person or emergency medical care if experiencing urgent or life-threatening symptoms.

7. Consent Validity and Documentation

Your telehealth consent remains valid unless withdrawn. This consent may be documented electronically and applies to all future telehealth interactions unless updated or revoked by you in writing.
