Grace Medical Home is offering a new text, email, and automated voice message program to patients (CareMessage). Examples of these messages are reminders and information about health education programs. This is a consent form. Signing this form is voluntary. Whether or not you sign, the treatment you receive from us will be the same.
Cost: There is no fee to be part of this Program. Standard text message and minute usage rates from your mobile or Internet service provider may apply.
Risks: Sending and receiving text, email and voice messages from us may impact the privacy and security of your Personal Health Information (“PHI”). Examples of PHI are: name, medical condition or insurance coverage.
- Text, email and voice messages are not encrypted. Encryption makes sure your information stays safe. Information in text, email and voice messages may not be secure.
- If you share your phone or email, or your mobile phone is lost or stolen, someone other than us may be able to access your PHI. Messages can be read, used or shared by people other than us.
