What telehealth involves
Telehealth means receiving health care services using interactive technology (secure video and secure messaging) rather than in person. By consenting, you agree to receive care from Noel's Holistic Care providers via telehealth.
Benefits and risks
- Benefits include access to care from a private location of your choosing, without travel.
- Risks include possible technology limitations, interruptions, or, in rare cases, the need for in-person care.
- Telehealth may not be appropriate for every condition; your provider will advise you.
Your rights
- You may stop telehealth care at any time without affecting your right to future care.
- You may ask questions about telehealth before, during, or after your visit.
- You may request an in-person referral where appropriate.
Privacy
Telehealth visits occur on a secure, HIPAA-aware platform. Your information is handled according to our Privacy Policy. [VERIFY] specific platform and privacy details.
Prescriptions
