Telehealth Informed Consent

What telehealth is

Telehealth is the delivery of health care using secure electronic communication, including live audio and video consultations, rather than an in-person office visit. Kinetic Edge Health provides care to patients located in the states where our physicians are licensed (currently Ohio, Nebraska, Colorado, Florida, Arizona, and Illinois). This page explains what to expect so you can make an informed decision about receiving care this way.

A live consultation comes first

Benefits of telehealth

• Access to physician-led care without the need to travel to an office.
• Scheduling that fits around your life, with ongoing remote follow-up.
• Care guided by your own laboratory data and clinical history.

Limitations and risks

Telehealth has limitations you should understand:

• A physician cannot perform a hands-on physical examination during a virtual visit, which in some cases may limit evaluation.
• Technology can occasionally fail or be interrupted, which may delay or affect care.
• As with any medical care, there are risks associated with treatment, including that a protocol may not produce the result you hoped for. Individual results vary and are not guaranteed.
• In rare cases, information shared electronically could be at risk despite our security measures.
• Your physician may determine that your needs are better met by in-person care and may refer you accordingly.

Prescriptions and compounded medications

Any prescription is issued solely at the independent clinical judgment of your physician. Some medications we prescribe are compounded and prepared by a licensed compounding pharmacy. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved and are not reviewed by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or quality. Your physician will discuss the risks and benefits relevant to you before you begin.

Not for emergencies

Your responsibilities

• Provide accurate, complete health information and keep it current.
• Be physically located in a state where we are licensed at the time of your visit.
• Follow your protocol and storage instructions, and report side effects or concerns promptly.
• Complete recommended laboratory testing and follow-up.

Privacy

Your information is protected as described in our Privacy Policy & HIPAA Notice. We use secure systems for consultations and communications.

This page is a summary — the formal consent comes separately

What you see here is an informational overview of how telehealth works at Kinetic Edge Health. It is not the full legal consent. During onboarding, you will receive and sign a separate, more extensive Telehealth Informed Consent and Patient Agreement. Once executed, that document is the legal instrument that establishes the physician-patient relationship; it covers items in more detail than this page (including HIPAA authorization, treatment-specific risks, scope of care, communication and emergency protocols, financial responsibility, and your rights as a patient).

We do not publish the full consent on the website. It is delivered to you during onboarding so you have time to read it carefully and ask questions before signing.

Your right to withdraw

Participation in telehealth is voluntary. You may withdraw your consent or discontinue care at any time without affecting your right to seek care elsewhere.
