Telehealth involves the delivery of health and wellness services using electronic communications, information technology, or other means between a licensed, certified, or registered healthcare professional at one location and a patient in another location about a clinical matter. Telehealth may be used for diagnosis, treatment, follow-up and/or patient education. These telehealth services may involve various modalities, including asynchronous interactions, real-time (synchronous) video and audio encounters, and interactive audio with store and forward. This “Telehealth Informed Consent” informs the patient (“patient,” “you,” or “your”) concerning the treatment methods, risks, and limitations of utilizing telehealth to meet your health and wellness needs.
Benefits of telehealth include being easier and more efficient for you to access health and wellness services. You can obtain health and wellness services at times that are convenient for you without the necessity of an in-office appointment, including follow-up care related to your treatment. If you need follow-up care, please contact us through the Advanta Rx Platform or the Advanta Rx call center at

Some clinical needs may not be appropriate for a telehealth visit and your Provider will make that determination. The technology necessary to interact with your health professional may fail and delay your services. If a technical failure prevents you from communicating with your Providers, you should call the following number:
Phone: 1-800-(909) 787-2342 Mon - Sun 4:00 am PST - 5:00 pm PST
In rare events, a lack of access to complete medical records, and/or the quality of transmitted data could result in adverse drug interactions, allergic reactions, and/or other clinical judgment errors. You may stop or decline any on-going Healthcare Services provided by Colchis Medical Group using telehealth technologies at any time, although you acknowledge that applicable fees may apply if a medical consultation has occurred prior to request to cancel services and Colchis Medical Group has no obligation for your on-going care or selection of separate healthcare services in such circumstances.

THIRD-PARTY LABORATORY PRODUCTS AND SERVICES To facilitate certain Healthcare Services Providers may require that you complete diagnostic test(s). These diagnostic tests are provided by third-party laboratories, and neither Advanta Rx, Colchis Medical Group, nor your Provider(s) can guarantee the accuracy or reliability of these tests.

I agree that if my provider makes that determination, I would like to receive Healthcare Services in this manner.
8. I understand that there is no guarantee that I will be given a prescription and that the decision of whether a prescription is appropriate will be made in the professional judgment of my Provider.

11. I understand the Advanta Rx Platform makes available a specific set of services and I may need to seek other resources for my other health needs. There is no guarantee that I will be approved for treatment by a Provider. My Provider reserves the right to deny care for any reason if, in the professional judgment of my Provider, the provision of the services, including when provided via telehealth is not medically or ethically appropriate.

12. I understand that by using the Advanta Rx Platform I am not always speaking or messaging with my Provider in real-time, and there may be a delay before my messages or information is reviewed.
