Telemedicine Consent Policy

Telehealth/Telemedicine is the delivery of healthcare services when the healthcare provider (the “Provider”) and the patient (the “Patient”) are not in the same physical location and communicate through technology. The Patient can talk to the Provider by phone, computer or tablet. But, in order for the telemedicine consult to be reimbursable by insurance or third-party payors, the Provider and Patient will need to use a video device or feed. Electronically transmitted information may be used for diagnosis, treatment, follow-up, prescription, or education and may include medical records, medical images, interactive audio, video and/or data communications, and output data from medical devices, sound and video files. By executing this Consent Form, the Patient is acknowledging and agreeing that the Patient understands and consents to the following with respect to telemedicine offered by the Provider and GAYA WELLNESS, PLLC (collectively the “Service Provider”):

1. The Patient has elected to have a telemedicine visit instead of an in-office visit. The Patient agrees that the Service Provider will determine whether the Patient’s condition is appropriate for telemedicine and acknowledges that the Service Provider may recommend an in-person visit. The Patient and the Service Provider will not be in the same room or physical location during the telemedicine visit, so the visit may feel different than an office visit. Because the Patient and the Service Provider are not in the same physical location or room during the telemedicine visit, there are some potential risks associated with the use of telemedicine and telehealth.

2. The potential risks associated with the use of telemedicine include, but are not limited to: the information transmitted may be less comprehensive than that available from an in-person visit and result in decreased accuracy of diagnosis or medical decision-making; delays in medical evaluation or treatment could occur due to deficiencies or failures of the telemedicine equipment; and security protocols could fail, causing a breach of privacy. The Patient understands that telemedicine often involves electronic transmission of the Patient’s protected health information (“PHI”). The Patient’s PHI includes, but is not limited to, the Patient’s identifying information; medical history; diagnoses; communications to and from the Patient’s other health care provider(s); etc. The Patient understands that PHI may be lost due to technical failures, cyber intrusion or other issues disrupting the Patient’s telemedicine visit or causing delays in response from the Service Provider. The Patient assumes these risks, and to the extent permissible under applicable federal and Florida law, agrees to hold the Service Provider and it’s representatives harmless from any claims arising out of the use of telemedicine to conduct the visit.

3. The Patient understands that telemedicine visits may be recorded and that the laws that protect privacy and confidentiality of medical information also apply to telemedicine. If the Service Provider deems it necessary to record any of the Patient’s telemedicine visits, the Service Provider will first notify the Patient that it is necessary to record the telemedicine visit and obtain the Patient’s verbal consent to such recording once the video portion of the telehealth visit is commenced. The Patient has the right to refuse the recording of the telemedicine visit and if the Patient refuses such recording, the Service Provider does have the right to decline the telemedicine visit at that time.

4. The Patient understands that PHI obtained during the telemedicine visit will not be disclosed to other entities without the Patient’s consent unless otherwise permitted by applicable law or in accordance with the Service Providers Notice of Privacy Practices. The Patient has the right to withhold or withdraw consent for telemedicine at any time without affecting the right to the Patient’s future care, treatment, benefits, or programs for which he or she is otherwise entitled. Any such withhold or withdrawal of consent shall be given in writing, and shall be deemed to be properly delivered upon receipt if sent by: (a) certified U.S. mail, return receipt requested, (b) facsimile, or (c) personal delivery with receipt, to the principal address of the Service Provider.

5. The Patient understands that if others are present at Patient’s location during the Patient’s telemedicine visit, the confidentiality of the Patient’s telemedicine visit may be compromised. The Patient acknowledges and agrees that the Patient has the choice of and control over allowing others to be present at the Patient’s location during the Patient’s telemedicine visit. Therefore, by allowing others to be present at the Patient’s location during the Patient’s telemedicine visit, the Patient is consenting to the disclosure of the Patient’s PHI and other information discussed and/or disclosed during the visit. By executing this Consent Form, the Patient acknowledges and agrees that it is the Patient’s responsibility to disclose to the Service Provider whether others are present at the Patient’s location during the telemedicine visit, as well as that it is the Patient’s responsibility to determine if they want others present during the telemedicine visit, and if not to ensure that any other person present at the Patient’s location is not in the room during the telemedicine visit and cannot hear or have access to the discussion between the Patient and Service Provider

6. The Patient understands the alternatives to telemedicine as they have been explained, and in choosing to participate in a telemedicine visit understands that some parts of the exam may require physical testing to be performed at another location at the direction of the Service Provider.

7. The Patient understands it is possible that health insurance will not cover the telemedicine visit(s). The Patient may elect to pay out of pocket for the telemedicine service if they are not covered by health insurance. The Patient agrees that if the health insurer does not pay for the telemedicine services, the Patient will be responsible for payment. The Patient further understands that they are responsible for all cost sharing obligations required by the health insurance plan. All out of pocket expenses associated with the telemedicine visit, including cost sharing obligations and payment for non-covered services are due prior to the telemedicine visit if such amounts are known at that time.

8. The Patient understands that a patient must be physically located in one of the following states : Florida, Virginia, Indiana, North Carolina, Tennessee during the entirety of their consultation(s). Their consent to this document is confirmation that they understand and meet this requirement. The Patient understands that if he or she is not physically located in Florida, Virginia, Indiana, North Carolina, or Tennessee at the time of their consultation and/or has not provided consent of this fact, Gaya Wellness and any of it’s licensed healthcare professionals reserve the right to decline to treat the patient via telemedicine. The Patient understands that the Service Provider and its representatives are licensed in the State of Florida, Virginia, Indiana, North Carolina and Tennessee and therefore can only provide telemedicine services only within those states.

9. The Patient understands that the Service Provider and its representatives are located in the State of Florida and are licensed to provide telemedicine services only within the State of Florida. The laws of the State of Florida will govern any potential disputes, and the Patient consents to jurisdiction in the State of Florida for any such disputes.

10. The Patient has been advised of all the potential risks, consequences and benefits of telemedicine. The Service Provider has discussed with the Patient, information provided above and the Patient has had the opportunity to ask questions about the information presented on this form. All the Patient’s questions have been answered, and he or she or they understand(s) the information.

Miscellaneous

Individual results may vary. The statement that individuals can lose up to 15% of their body weight with medications such as Ozempic, Wegovy oree Mounjaro is based on clinical studies and real-world data. However, it’s important to note that not everyone will achieve the same results. Weight loss outcomes can be influenced by various factors, including a person’s starting weight, adherence to treatment, lifestyle, and overall health.

Before starting any medication or weight loss program, it’s crucial to consult with a qualified healthcare professional who can assess your unique medical history and provide personalized recommendations. The information provided here is for informational purposes only and should not be considered a guarantee of specific results.

** Risk Free : Money Back Guarantee

  1. I understand that I may qualify for a refund of the Membership Fees (minus a $150 fee for your initial doctor appointment) if I do not achieve a minimum of 10% weight loss at the end of my Gaya Wellness Weight Loss Program. My weight loss will be determined by calculating the percentage change of my weight from the start to the end of my program. For purposes of calculating weight loss percentage, Gaya Wellness PLLC will use my first reported weight from my intake questionnaire.

 

FOUNDER AND YOUR PERSONAL DOCTOR

My name is Shweta Patel, and I am the founder of Gaya Wellness- a platform that provides women with virtually comprehensive and convenient healthcare and wellness.

I am a board-certified and established OB/GYN in the Winter Garden community of Florida. I obtained my medical degree from my home state, SUNY Buffalo, NY. I was commissioned into the United States Navy and served for 13 years as a medical officer. I moved to Florida four years ago and started a hospital-owned practice where I provided obstetrical and gynecological care in person.

The onset of the pandemic highlighted a critical breakdown in women’s healthcare experience. Women needed to feel heard, understood, and clear on their choices and next steps. And these needs were not being met in the 15 minutes allotted to them ( if even that long). This is what inspired the creation of Gaya Wellness. Now, women can get holistic care when needed and from wherever convenient. We are on a mission to transform how women are taken care of into an engaging and empowering experience.

When I am not working on growing Gaya Wellness or seeing patients, I usually spend time with my fur babies (Dash and Mimi), exploring new places, listening to live music, or practicing major self-care (my favorite—facials!).
