Consent to Telehealth Services
If I am experiencing a medical emergency, I understand that I should contact 9-1-1, go to the nearest emergency room, contact my local crisis center, message the Crisis Text Line (text “GO” to 741-741 or if applicable, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-272-8255. I will not use Wisp’s platform for emergency medical services.
I have reviewed this Consent to Telehealth Services with respect to the provision of healthcare services from Wisp’s contracted medical professional entities (the professional entities collectively, "The Practices”) and their affiliated medical service providers (“Providers” or “Provider”). I understand that this consent is supplemental to the Medical Terms of Service and Wisp Terms of Service.
What is Telehealth? Telehealth is the provision of medical and healthcare services in which the patient and medical provider are not in the same location. To effectuate the provision of medical services in such circumstances, healthcare providers utilize technology, such as diagnostic tools, audio communication, visual communication, and/or store-and-forward technology. In some cases, telehealth services are performed synchronously (i.e., with the patient and provider interacting in real time) and in other cases telehealth services are performed asynchronously (i.e., with the patient and provider interacting at different times). Telehealth includes the creation and/or transmission of an electronic patient medical record. Not all conditions are suitable for treatment via telehealth.
By checking the box in the Wisp registration flow associated with this Consent to Telehealth, I consent to receive medical services via telehealth and agree to all statements, acknowledgements and disclosures set forth below:
- I know what telehealth includes. I understand that, where appropriate, care via telehealth includes a medical examination, consultation via electronic means, and the potential diagnosis and treatment of a medical condition.
- Telehealth has benefits and risks. I understand that treatment via telehealth is a choice. Treatment via telehealth has benefits, including: ease of scheduling, the ability to access my health records via an online portal and the ability to have a more seamless experience. Treatment via telehealth also has limitations and risks, including (i) the inability to have face-to-face, in-person contact between a provider and a patient; (ii) the potential for data breach; and (iii) the lack of a comprehensive, previously existing medical file from my in-person provider, which may have provided additional insights into treatment options.
- I will seek appropriate follow-up care. If I experience an adverse reaction, worsening symptoms, or need follow-up care after a telehealth visit, I will contact my Provider through the secure messaging portal, or seek appropriate in-person or emergency medical care.
- I know how to reconnect in the event of a technical failure. If there is a technical failure or interruption of the telemedicine platform, I will attempt to reconnect and, if unsuccessful, contact my Provider through the secure messaging portal or email support@hellowisp.com to request assistance or arrange follow-up care.
- Not all conditions are suitable for telehealth. I understand that in-person care is an alternative to telehealth and that not all conditions are suitable for telehealth. I recognize that my Provider may deem telehealth inappropriate for my specific case. I further understand that there is no guarantee that I will be prescribed any specific medication, and that any prescription or course of treatment is up to the medical and professional judgment of my Provider.
- I can withdraw my consent at any time. I understand that I can withdraw my consent for telehealth at any time without affecting my rights to future care, provided that I follow all applicable terms of service.
- A provider will be assigned to me. I understand that a Provider will be assigned to me. I can request a different, appropriately-licensed Provider, and I have the right to review the credentials of my assigned Provider or a Provider of my choice.
- I will provide accurate and complete information to my Provider. I acknowledge I am responsible for providing complete, accurate, and current information about my health, including my medical history, symptoms, allergies, and all medications or supplements I am taking.
- I will keep my Provider informed of changes. I will inform my Provider of any changes to my health status or medications that may affect my care.
- I understand my Provider is relying on the information I provide. I acknowledge that, in a telehealth setting, my Provider relies primarily on the information I provide and may not have access to my full medical record or the ability to independently verify information. Therefore, I understand my Provider’s clinical decisions are based on the information I provide.
- Certain services may require diagnostic laboratory testing. If laboratory testing is ordered, I will review and agree to the Laboratory Informed Consent Form before my sample is processed. The Laboratory Informed Consent Form is intended to supplement, and not replace, this Consent to Telehealth. The Laboratory Informed Consent Form must be acknowledged and agreed to prior to purchasing a laboratory product.
- Some medications may be globally sourced. I understand that in order to keep medication costs down, some of Wisp's mail-order partners may use pharmacies that globally source certain drugs prescribed to me. I understand that the product website and treatment guide will indicate whether my prescription is being sourced globally.
- I will review and follow all information provided to me about my prescription. I will follow all treatment instructions, including prescription directions, dosage guidelines, and any follow-up recommendations, and I acknowledge I am responsible for reviewing prescription information, warnings, and instructions provided by the pharmacy or manufacturer and for using medications only as directed.
- I am at least 18 years old. I hereby certify that I am at least 18 years of age and receiving treatment in the state to which I have requested the medication be shipped and delivered or sent to a local pharmacy.
- State of Residency. I understand and acknowledge that Wisp imposes eligibility requirements to comply with state law, and that I comply and will at all times comply with all relevant laws in accessing and utilizing the Wisp platform to receive a prescription and medication, including, without limitation, providing truthful information concerning my state of residency.
- Artificial intelligence may be used during my consultation. Wisp may disclose information received during a telehealth consultation with vendors that provide artificial intelligence services that provide backend support for our Services, including for administrative and informational purposes. Any such tools do not provide medical, clinical, diagnostic, treatment, or other regulated advice or services, and are not a substitute for advice from a qualified professional, including a medical professional. These tools are not intended to, and do not, engage in the practice of medicine or any other licensed profession.
- Session Recordings. I understand that my sessions with the Provider are not recorded, but that any interactions via phone or voicemail will be recorded by Wisp and its service provider.
- I can request transfers of my medical records. I understand that I can contact privacy@hellowisp.com for requests to transfer my medical records.
- I may receive text messages (via SMS and/or MMS) and calls. I agree to receive text messages and calls from or on behalf of Wisp at the phone number I provide to Wisp. I understand and agree that these texts/calls may be considered telemarketing under applicable law, that they may be sent using an automatic telephone dialing system or other automated technology and may use a prerecorded or artificial voice (including AI-generated voice), that my communications may be recorded by Wisp and its service providers, and that my consent is not a condition of any purchase. I understand that text messages are not secure forms of communication.
- I know how to ask questions. I have been given an opportunity to ask questions about the telehealth services to be provided to me, including any relevant risks and hazards involved with the provision of such services via secure messaging.
