Telemedicine Consent and Confidentiality Notice

We cannot guarantee the confidentiality of any electronic communication, including text messages, phone calls, emails, faxes, and Internet-based communication. Telemedicine refers to the use of technology to provide medical services remotely, and these forms of communication fall under that definition. By using telemedicine services through Client Centered Care, you acknowledge and understand the following:

Voluntary Participation: Telemedicine services are optional, and you have the right to withhold or withdraw your consent at any time. However, since Client Centered Care is exclusively a telemedicine practice, withdrawing consent means we will no longer be able to provide care.

Privacy and Data Security: We are committed to protecting your health information as we would in a traditional medical practice. However, while we take necessary precautions, data breaches can occur, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. We will not use your health information for research without your explicit consent.

Benefits, Risks, and Limitations: Telemedicine offers advantages such as improved access to care, cost savings, enhanced visit quality, and reduced travel time. However, it also has limitations. Providers rely on visual and auditory information, which may not always be sufficient for complete diagnostic assessments. Unlike in-person visits, telemedicine does not allow providers to evaluate physical factors such as gait, smell, or overall appearance, potentially leading to missed clinical details.

By proceeding with treatment, you acknowledge and accept these policies and confirm receipt of the Privacy Notice.
