Definition
Telehealth is the delivery of healthcare services remotely using telecommunications technology. This may include video conferencing, phone calls, or secure text messaging.
Technology Standards
All telehealth appointments at Soma Vita Wellness will be conducted using secure and HIPAA-compliant technology. Patients will need to have a reliable internet connection and a device with a camera and microphone in order to participate in telehealth appointments.
Informed Consent
Before participating in a telehealth appointment, patients will be required to sign a written informed consent form. This form will explain the benefits and risks of telehealth, as well as the limitations of this type of care.
Limitations
Telehealth is not a substitute for all in-person medical care. There are some services that cannot be provided remotely, such as physical examinations and certain types of procedures. Additionally, telehealth may not be appropriate for all patients, such as those with complex medical conditions or those who are at risk of harming themselves or others (in-person consultation may be required).
Privacy and Security
Soma Vita Wellness takes the privacy and security of patient information very seriously. All telehealth appointments will be conducted using secure and HIPAA-compliant technology. Patients will be provided with instructions on how to protect their privacy during their appointments.
Medical Records
All medical records generated from telehealth sessions will be stored in the patient's electronic health record (EHR). This ensures that all of the patient's medical information is available to their providers, regardless of how they receive care.
Payment
Soma Vita Wellness currently only accepts credit card payments for telehealth services.
