HIPAA Consent

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) provides safeguards to protect your privacy. Implementation of HIPAA requirements began on April 14, 2003. This form is a simplified version. A more complete text is available through the office.

What This Is About:

HIPAA restricts who may see or be notified of your Protected Health Information (PHI). These restrictions do not include the normal interchange of information necessary to provide you with office services. HIPAA also provides you rights and protections. More information: www.hhs.gov.

Policies:

  • Patient information will be kept confidential except as necessary for care or administrative matters.
  • Files may be stored in open file racks but without coding that identifies conditions not already public.
  • Appointment reminders may be sent via phone, email, or mail.
  • Vendors may have access to PHI but must follow HIPAA confidentiality rules.
  • Government agencies and insurance payers may review documents as part of normal duties.
  • No confidential information will be used for marketing or advertising.
  • Patients have access to their records per state and federal law.
  • Provisions may be changed to better serve both practice and patients.
  • You have the right to request restrictions on PHI use, though the practice may not be obligated to comply.

My continued use of the services constitutes my acceptance of the HIPAA Information Form and future policy changes.

Changes to This Notice

We reserve the right to change this Notice and make the new provisions effective for all PHI we maintain. The current Notice will be available upon request and on our website.

Telehealth Consent

Telehealth is the type of care that allows clients to access health services using audio-video interface such as videoconferencing.

Electronic systems used will incorporate network and software security protocols to protect the confidentiality of client identification and imaging data and will include measures to safeguard the data and to ensure its integrity against intentional or unintentional corruption.

Expected Benefits:

  • Improved access to weight loss management health care by enabling a client to receive services across distances and between programs.
  • More efficient weight loss management health care including medical evaluation and management.
  • Obtaining expertise of a distant specialist.
  • Maintaining connections with established providers in other areas.

Possible Risks:

  • In rare cases, information transmitted may not be sufficient (e.g. poor resolution of images) to allow for appropriate medical decision making.
  • Delays in medical evaluation and treatment could occur due to deficiencies or failures of the equipment.
  • In very rare instances, security protocols could fail, causing a breach of privacy.
  • A lack of access to complete medical records may result in adverse drug interactions, allergic reactions, or judgmental errors.

By Consenting to These Forms, I Understand:

  • The laws protecting privacy and confidentiality of medical information also apply to telehealth.
  • I may withdraw consent at any time without affecting future care.
  • I have the right to inspect all telehealth information and may receive copies for a reasonable fee.
  • I may choose alternative methods of weight loss management health care at any time.
  • I should inform my provider of any other healthcare professionals involved in my care.
  • No results from telehealth can be guaranteed.

I hereby give my informed consent for the use of telehealth in my weight loss management health care. I have been offered a copy of this form for my records.
