Consent to utilize teletherapy services with Dr. Hayes:*

YesNo
I hereby consent to engage in teletherapy with Dr. Everett C. Hayes. I understand that “teletherapy” includes consultation, treatment, transfer of medical data, emails, telephone conversations and education using interactive audio, video, or data communications. I understand that teletherapy also involves the communication of my medical/mental health information, both orally and visually.

I understand that I have the following rights with respect to teletherapy:
- I have the right to withhold or withdraw consent at any time without affecting my right to future care or treatment.
- The laws that protect the confidentiality of my medical information also apply to teletherapy. As such, I understand that the information disclosed by me during the course of my therapy is generally confidential. However, there are both mandatory and permissive exceptions to confidentiality, which are discussed in detail in the general Informed Consent I received prior to this consent form.
- I understand that there are risks and consequences from teletherapy, including, but not limited to, the possibility, despite reasonable efforts on the part of Dr. Hayes that: the transmission of my information could be disrupted or distorted by technical failures; that the transmission of my information could be interrupted by unauthorized persons; and/or the electronic storage of my medical information could be accessed by unauthorized persons.
- In addition, I understand that teletherapy based services and care may not be as complete as face-to-face services.
- I also understand that if Dr. Hayes believes I would be better served by another form of therapeutic services (e.g. face-to-face services) I will be referred to a professional who can provide such services in my area.
- Finally, I understand that there are potential risks and benefits associated with any form of psychotherapy and that despite my efforts and the efforts of my psychologist, my condition may not be improved, and in some cases may even get worse.
- I understand that I may benefit from teletherapy, but that results cannot be guaranteed or assured.
  I accept that teletherapy does not provide emergency services. During our first session, Dr. Hayes and I will discuss an emergency response plan. If I am experiencing an emergency situation, I understand that I am to call 911 or proceed to the nearest hospital emergency room for help. If I am having suicidal thoughts of making plans to harm myself, I can call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1.800.273.TALK(8355 for free, 24-hour hotline support.
- I understand that I am responsible for (a) providing the necessary computer, telecommunication equipment and internet access for my teletherapy sessions, (b) the information security on my computer, and (c) arranging a location with sufficient lighting and privacy that is free from distractions or intrusions for my teletherapy session.
- I understand that while email may be used to communicate with Dr. Hayes, the confidentiality of emails cannot be guaranteed.
- I understand that I have a right to access my medical information and copies of medical records in accordance with HIPAA privacy rules and applicable state law.

I have read, understand and agree to the information provided above.

The Therapy Process

Working with you to identify presenting issues and develop a plan of care is the goal. However, it is your commitment to identifying personal goals towards which you desire to move and obstacles which may prevent that movement which will, in large part, determine the success of the therapy. If you have a crisis situation develop after hours, call the suicide prevention hotline at (800) 784-2433 or go to your local emergency room.

The privacy regulations of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) require ethical and legal commitment to the confidentiality of your Personal Health Information.
