Consent to Telehealth

This Consent to Telehealth explains how telehealth services work when you use Vallejo 420 MD. Telehealth lets patients communicate with licensed healthcare professionals remotely, using secure electronic communication technologies.

By using telehealth services through Vallejo 420 MD, you acknowledge that you've read and understood this consent and agree to receive healthcare services through telehealth technologies where permitted by California law.

Telehealth Services

Telehealth services use electronic communications to let healthcare providers evaluate, diagnose, and provide medical guidance remotely.

Telehealth consultations may include:

• Live video consultations
• Audio or telephone communication
• Secure electronic messaging
• Digital transmission of medical information and records

Vallejo 420 MD operates a technology platform that helps connect you with independent licensed physicians for medical marijuana evaluations in California. You can find more information about the platform and services in our Terms of Use.

Nature of Telehealth Consultations

Telehealth consultations differ from traditional in person medical visits. Because the consultation happens remotely, healthcare providers rely on the information you share during the visit to evaluate your condition.

Certain medical conditions or circumstances may require an in person exam, and a physician may determine that telehealth isn't appropriate for your situation.

Potential Benefits of Telehealth

Telehealth services may offer several benefits, including:

• Improved access to healthcare services
• Convenience and reduced travel time
• Faster communication with licensed healthcare providers

Potential Risks and Limitations

As with any medical service, telehealth comes with certain limitations, including:

• Technical interruptions or delays during communication
• Limitations in conducting physical examinations remotely
• Possible delays in diagnosis or treatment due to incomplete or inaccurate information

You acknowledge that these limitations may affect the evaluation process.

Not for Emergency Medical Situations

Telehealth services provided through Vallejo 420 MD are not intended for emergency medical or psychiatric situations.

If you're experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department immediately.

Provider Patient Relationship

A provider patient relationship is established only after a licensed physician agrees to evaluate you and begins the medical assessment process through the telehealth consultation.

Submitting information or scheduling an appointment doesn't automatically establish a provider patient relationship.

Accuracy of Information

Healthcare providers rely on the information you provide during registration and consultation. You agree to provide accurate, complete, and truthful information about your health history, symptoms, and medical conditions.

Providing inaccurate or incomplete information may affect the quality and safety of your care.

Communication Through Electronic Systems

Telehealth services may involve communication through electronic systems, including messaging platforms, video conferencing tools, and other digital technologies.

We use reasonable safeguards to protect your information, but electronic communications carry some inherent risk, including technical failures and unauthorized access.

You can find more information about how your personal data is handled in our Privacy Policy.
