I understand that I must be in the state of Oregon at the time of my appointment, or the appointment will be cancelled.

I understand that Telehealth Services (real-time audio / video teleconference sessions) involves the use of electronic information and communication technologies by a mental health care provider to deliver services to an individual when he/she is located at a different site than the provider; and I hereby consent to Provider delivering healthcare services to me by way of a telehealth modality.

I understand that the laws that protect privacy and the confidentiality of medical information also apply to telehealth. As always, your insurance carrier and SPtoT will have access to your medical records for quality review / audit.

I understand that there are risks and consequences from telehealth services including, but not limited to, the possibility, despite reasonable efforts on the part of my provider that the transmission of my personal information could be disrupted or distorted by technical failures and/or the transmission of my personal information could be intercepted by unauthorized persons.

I understand that I will be responsible for any copayment, deductible or coinsurance that apply to my telehealth services. This may or may not be the same cost as face-to-face sessions.

I understand that I have the right to withhold or withdraw my consent for the use of telehealth services at any time during the course of my care, without affecting my right to future care or treatment. I can revoke my consent orally or in writing by contacting my provider. As long as this consent is in place and has not been revoked, my provider may offer mental health care services to me via electronic means without the need for me to sign another consent form.

I understand that my provider will contact me via a secure, HIPAA compliant electronic platform (such as Doxy.me). I also understand that it is my responsibility to choose a location, a time, a network, and a device that maintains my privacy and prevents interruption during our telehealth session. Barring any unauthorized breaches of security, I agree that no one will record, listen to, or watch our session without permission from both of us.

By signing this document, I agree that certain situations, including emergencies and crises (such as thoughts of harm to self or another, uncontrolled psychotic, or manic symptoms, experiencing a life-threatening situation, abusing drugs or alcohol or other concerns which may present a risk to my safety) are inappropriate for audio/video and/or computer-based telehealth services. If I am in crisis or I am experiencing a medical or psychiatric emergency, I should immediately call 911 or go to the nearest hospital or crisis facility
