Telehealth Consent

What is Telehealth?

Telehealth involves the delivery of healthcare services using electronic communications, information technology, or other means between a healthcare provider and a patient who are not in the same physical location.

Through Wild Viking Wellness, you can consult with licensed physicians remotely. Your provider will review your health questionnaire, medical history, and goals to determine an appropriate treatment plan — all without an in-person office visit.

Benefits of Telehealth

• •Convenience: Access healthcare from the privacy and comfort of your home
• •Privacy: Discuss sensitive health topics in a confidential setting
• •Accessibility: Connect with specialized providers regardless of your location
• •Efficiency: Reduce wait times and eliminate travel to a clinic

Risks and Limitations

While telehealth offers many benefits, there are limitations you should be aware of:

• •Electronic communications may experience technical failures or delays
• •A remote examination cannot fully replicate an in-person physical exam
• •Your provider may determine that telehealth is not appropriate for your situation and refer you to in-person care
• •Despite security measures, electronic communications carry some risk of data breach

Your Rights

• •Withdraw Consent: You may withdraw your consent to telehealth services at any time
• •In-Person Care: You may request a referral to an in-person healthcare provider at any time
• •Privacy: Your health information is protected under HIPAA and applicable state laws
• •Ask Questions: You have the right to ask questions about your diagnosis, treatment, and alternatives
• •Refuse Treatment: You may refuse any proposed treatment without penalty

Patient Responsibilities

To ensure safe and effective care, you agree to:

• •Provide accurate and complete health information, including your medical history and current medications
• •Disclose all prescription and over-the-counter medications, supplements, and herbal remedies you are taking
• •Follow the treatment plan prescribed by your physician
• •Report any side effects or adverse reactions promptly
• •Keep follow-up appointments as recommended

Prescriptions and Medications
