Informed Consent for Telehealth Services and Medication Treatment

April 2026

PLEASE READ THIS DOCUMENT CAREFULLY BEFORE BEGINNING TREATMENT.

By acknowledging this document electronically and proceeding with care through Teledris Health, you confirm that you have read and understood the information below, that your questions have been or will be answered to your satisfaction, and that you consent to receive telehealth services and, if prescribed, compounded medications under the conditions described.

II. What Telehealth Is

Telehealth is the delivery of health care services using interactive electronic communication, including secure messaging, written intake forms, video, audio, photos, and data transmission, to evaluate, diagnose, and treat patients without an in-person visit.

Teledris Health uses both:

  • Asynchronous, or store-and-forward, telehealth, in which you submit information through a secure platform and a clinician reviews it later.
  • Synchronous telehealth, in which you and a clinician communicate in real time by video or telephone.

Most Teledris Health visits begin asynchronously. Live audio or video visits may be required by your state of residence, by your clinical situation, or at the clinician's discretion.

III. Benefits of Telehealth

  • Convenient access to licensed clinicians without travel.
  • Care from your home or another private location.
  • Faster scheduling than many traditional in-person practices.
  • Continuity of care through ongoing secure messaging.
  • Bilingual support in English and Spanish.

IV. Risks and Limitations of Telehealth

Telehealth has limitations that do not exist in an in-person visit. By consenting to telehealth, you acknowledge that you understand and accept these limitations:

  1. No physical examination. Some conditions cannot be diagnosed or treated safely without an in-person examination.
  2. Information accuracy. The accuracy of any diagnosis or treatment plan depends on the accuracy and completeness of the information you provide.
  3. Technology failures. Internet outages, dropped calls, software errors, or device malfunction may interrupt or delay care.
  4. Privacy and security. We use industry-standard encryption and security measures, but no system is completely secure.
  5. Recording, transmission, and storage of PHI by Teledris Health and authorized vendors. We do not record video visits without your separate consent.
  6. Limited diagnostic scope. Your clinician may identify a condition outside the scope of services Teledris Health provides and refer you elsewhere.
  7. Continuity with other providers. Telehealth care may not be sufficient by itself, and we strongly encourage you to maintain a relationship with a primary care provider.

V. Emergency Limitations

TELEDRIS HEALTH IS NOT AN EMERGENCY SERVICE.

If you are experiencing a medical emergency, including chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe abdominal pain, signs of stroke, severe allergic reaction, suicidal ideation, or any life-threatening symptom, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room immediately.

If you are in crisis, you may also contact the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline by calling or texting 988.

VI. Establishment of the Provider–Patient Relationship

By submitting an intake and being accepted for care, you and your treating clinician establish a provider–patient relationship through telehealth, consistent with the laws of your state of residence.

Your clinician may decline to establish a provider–patient relationship if your clinical situation is outside the scope of telehealth practice or outside Teledris Health's services. Because your card is only authorized (not charged) until a clinician approves treatment, if treatment is declined you are not charged, in accordance with our Refund Policy.

VII. Monitoring and Follow-Up

You agree to participate in monitoring and follow-up as directed by your clinician. This typically includes:

  • Periodic check-ins through the Teledris Health platform.
  • Reporting your progress on the cadence requested.
  • Reporting side effects, new symptoms, and any new medications.
  • Completing requested laboratory tests if ordered.
  • Notifying us before any planned surgery or anesthesia.
  • Notifying us if you become pregnant or are planning pregnancy.

Failure to participate in monitoring may result in pausing or stopping your treatment.

VIII. Patient Responsibilities

By accepting care through Teledris Health, you agree to:

  • Provide accurate, complete, and current information at intake and at every follow-up.
  • Notify us promptly of any new diagnosis, hospitalization, surgery, or new medication.
  • Follow the dosing instructions provided by your clinician and the partner pharmacy.
  • Store medication as directed and never share it with another person.
  • Properly dispose of needles and unused medication.
  • Use the Teledris Health platform for non-emergency communication only.
  • Pay for services and medications as agreed.

IX. State-Specific Provisions

The following addenda apply if you are a resident of, or are physically located in, the listed state at the time of your visit. State-specific telehealth law may impose additional requirements.

A. California

California law requires that prior to delivering health care via telehealth, your provider obtains your verbal or written consent. Your electronic acknowledgment of this Consent satisfies this requirement.

B. Texas

Texas law may require an in-person follow-up or specific documentation in certain circumstances. Your clinician will inform you if this applies to your care.

C. New York

New York patients have additional rights under the New York Patient Bill of Rights. Please review the Teledris Health Patient Bill of Rights.

D. Florida

Florida-licensed clinicians providing care to Florida residents follow the Florida Telehealth Act. Out-of-state Florida-registered telehealth providers comply with Section 456.47, Florida Statutes.
