Telehealth Informed Consent

Nature of telehealth

Care coordinated through HHMeds is primarily asynchronous: you submit an intake and a licensed provider reviews it without a live visit, unless the provider or you request one.

Provider–patient relationship

A provider–patient relationship is established when a clinician reviews your intake and issues guidance or a prescription. Clinicians are independent providers in the LocumTele network, licensed in your state.

Expected benefits

• Access to a licensed clinician without traveling to an office.
• Convenient submission of your health history at your own pace.
• Coordinated dispensing and discreet shipping through a licensed U.S. pharmacy.

Potential risks and limitations

• The information you provide may be insufficient for a safe clinical decision.
• Communication delays can occur between you and the provider.
• Asynchronous review does not replace emergency care or in-person examination.
• Technical failures may interrupt or delay review.
• Protected health information could be intercepted despite reasonable safeguards.

Emergencies

Telehealth is not for emergencies. If you are having a medical emergency, call 911.

Confidentiality and records

Your information is handled as described in our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices and Privacy Policy.

Your rights

• Withdraw consent at any time by emailing Chris@HHMeds.com.
• Request a different provider.
• Seek in-person care at any time.

Acknowledgment

By submitting an intake, you confirm that you have read this consent, that your answers are accurate and complete, and that you understand a prescription is issued only when a licensed provider determines it is clinically appropriate.
