Telehealth Informed Consent

Telehealth means meeting a licensed physician by video instead of in person. Please read this consent before your evaluation. By booking or joining a visit, you confirm that you understand and agree to it.

How a telehealth evaluation works

• You complete an intake form with your health history and upload any records you have.
• You meet a physician licensed in your state by video. The physician reviews your history and decides whether you have a qualifying condition under your state’s program.
• If you qualify, the physician issues a certification or recommendation as your state requires. You then complete any state registration yourself, unless your state handles it differently.

Possible benefits

Telehealth can save travel time, allow evaluations on the same day you book, and make renewals easier.

Possible risks and limits

• A physician cannot examine you in person, which may limit what they can assess. They may ask for records or recommend an in-person visit.
• Poor connections or technical problems may interrupt a visit.
• Although we use secure systems, no electronic system is completely free of security risk.
• Cannabis can cause side effects and can interact with other medicines. The physician will discuss these with you.

Your rights

• You may decline or stop telehealth care at any time.
• You may access your records, as described in our Notice of Privacy Practices.
• You may ask the physician any question about your evaluation, the risks of cannabis and other options.

Your responsibilities

• Join from a private place, show valid ID and give accurate information, including the state you live in.
• Tell the physician about all medicines you take, any pregnancy, and any history of substance use or mental health conditions.
• Seek in-person or emergency care when needed: call 911, or call or text 988 if you are in crisis.
