I understand that my health care provider wishes me to engage in a telehealth consultation. My health care provider explained to me how the video conferencing technology that will be used to affect such a consultation will not be the same as a direct client/health care provider visit due to the fact that I will not be in the same room as my provider.

Please check:

I understand that a telehealth consultation has potential benefits including easier access to care and the convenience of meeting from the location of my choosing. I understand there are potential risks to this technology, including interruptions, unauthorized access, and technical difficulties. I understand that my health care provider or I can discontinue the telehealth consult/visit if it is felt that the videoconferencing connections are not adequate for the situation. I have had a direct conversation with my provider, during which I had the opportunity to ask questions in regard to this procedure. My questions have been answered and the risks, benefits and any practical alternatives have been discussed with me in a language in which I understand.

Telehealth by SimplePractice is the technology service we will use to conduct telehealth video conferencing appointments. It is simple to use and there are no passwords required to log in. By signing this document, I acknowledge:

Telehealth by SimplePractice is NOT an Emergency Service and in the event of an emergency, I will use a phone to call 911. Though my provider and I may be indirect, virtual contact through the Telehealth Service, neither SimplePractice nor the Telehealth Service provides any medical or healthcare services or advice including, but not limited to, emergency or urgent medical services. The Telehealth by SimplePractice Service facilitates videoconferencing and is not responsible for the delivery of any healthcare, medical advice or care. I do not assume that my provider has access to any or all of the technical information in the Telehealth by SimplePractice Service - or that such information is current, accurate or up-to-date. I will not rely on my health care provider to have any of this information in the Telehealth by SimplePractice Service. To maintain confidentiality, I will not share my telehealth appointment link with anyone unauthorized to attend the appointment.

By signing this form, I certify:

That I have read or had this form read and/or had this form explained to me. That I fully understand its contents including the risks and benefits of the procedure(s). That I have been given ample opportunity to ask questions and that any questions have been answered to my satisfaction.

BY SIGNING BELOW I AM AGREEING THAT I HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD AND AGREE TO THE ITEMS CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT.

Agreement between Patient and Integrity Speech Therapy

Name of Patient

Please Select:

MANAGED CARE - WITHOUT A REFERRAL OR OUT OF NETWORK. I understand that my insurance contract with my health insurance plan(s) require a referral authorization from my designated primary care physician for certain medical services and/or requires me to be financially responsible for all or part of my visits. I understand that at this time I have the option to reschedule my appointment and return at a later date with an appropriate referral authorization. I have chosen to be seen by the provider without an appropriate referral or under an "Out of Network" option. Therefore, I agree to be personally responsible for payment of all charges incurred as described by my health insurance plan. POINT OF SERVICE OPTIONS. I understand that my health insurance plan(s) provide(s) me with several options. I have chosen to receive services from the provider under one of those options which requires me to pay a higher deductible,co-payment, or coinsurance according to the provisions that contract. PLAN BENEFIT LIMITS. I understand my physician has prescribed a treatment/service that is not covered by my health insurance plan(s). I am aware that I am financially responsible for all non-covered charges. SELF PAY. I acknowledge that I am a ‘Self Pay’ patient. Some reasons for my self-pay status may include but are not limited to having a no plan coverage, being seen without a valid referral or prescription script, receiving non-covered services or not having selected a PCP as required by my insurance plan. I understand that as a self-pay patient, I am not automatically eligible for a discount though I may apply for a discount based on family unit income and insurance status. By signing this form, I am certifying that I agree to be financially responsible for the patient due portion of my account and that I agree to pay an estimate of the amount due at the time services are rendered. If the actual charges exceed the estimate paid, I understand that I will be billed for the difference. Likewise, if the actual charges are less than the estimate paid, I will be entitled to a refund for the amount paid in excess of the actual charges.

This notice describes how medical information about you may be used and disclosed and how you can get access to this information. Please review it carefully. The Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) is a federal program that requires that all medical records and other individually identifiable health information used or disclosed by us in any form, whether electronically, on paper, or orally, are kept properly confidential. This Act gives you, the patient, significant new rights to understand and control how your health information is used. We are required by law to maintain the privacy of your protected health information and to provide you with notice of our legal duties and privacy practices with respect to protected health information. HIPPA provides penalties for covered entities that misuse personal health information. As required by HIPPA, we have prepared this explanation of how we are required to maintain the privacy of your health information and how we may use and disclose your health information. Treatment means providing, coordinating, or managing health care and related services, by one or more health care providers. An example of this would include a physical examination. Payment means such activities as obtaining reimbursement for services, confirming coverage, billing or collections activities, and utilization review. An example of this would be sending a bill for your visit to your insurance company for payment. Health care operations include the business aspects of running our practice, such as conducting quality assessment and improvement activities, auditing functions, cost-management analysis, and customer service. An example would be an internal quality assessment review. We may create and distribute de-identified health information by removing all references to individually identifiable information. We may contact you to provide appointment reminders or information about treatment alternatives or other health-related benefits and services that may be of interest to you. Any other uses and disclosures will be made only with your written authorization. You may revoke such authorization in writing and we are required to honor and abide by that written request, except to the extent that we have already taken actions relying on your authorization. You have the following rights with respect to your protected health information, which you can exercise by presenting a written request to the Privacy Officer: The right to request restrictions on certain uses and disclosures of protected health information, including those related to disclosure to family members, other relatives, close personal friends, or any other person identified by you. We are, however, not required to agree to a requested restriction. If we do agree to a restriction, we must abide by it unless you agree in writing to remove it.

The right to reasonable requests to receive confidential communications of protected health information from us by alternative means or at alternative locations.
The right to inspect and copy your protected health information.
The right to amend your protected health information.
The right to obtain a paper copy of this notice from us upon request.

This notice is effective as of 11/1/2019 and we are required to abide by the terms of the Notice of Privacy Practices currently in effect.

You have the right to file written complaints with our office, or with the Department of Health & Human Services, Office of Civil Rights, about violations of the provisions of this notice or the policies and procedures of our office.
