Telehealth Consent
Last updated: July 2026
Nature of telehealth
Telehealth involves the delivery of health care services using electronic communications — including asynchronous questionnaires, messaging, phone, and video — between a patient and a clinician who are not in the same physical location.
Provider relationship
Medical care available through this website is provided by independent, licensed clinicians. A provider-patient relationship is established only when a clinician reviews your information and accepts you as a patient — not by using this website or completing a questionnaire.
Benefits & risks
Telehealth improves access and convenience. Potential risks include technical failures, delays in evaluation, and the absence of an in-person physical examination, which in some cases can limit a clinician's ability to diagnose or treat. Your clinician may determine telehealth is not appropriate for your situation and recommend in-person care.
Alternatives
You may seek in-person care from your own physician or another provider at any time instead of, or in addition to, telehealth services.
Emergencies
Telehealth services are not for emergencies. If you believe you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
Consent
By proceeding with an assessment, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this information, and you consent to receive health care services via telehealth from the independent providers connected through this platform.
