Telehealth Consultation - Patient Consent, Disclaimer and Release (The following only apply for patient outside of New Zealand).
I hereby attest that I have requested and authorized Szenan Phua (The Practitioner) to arrange an online consultation for me with him. Via this consultation The Practitioner will assess my condition and offer advice on use of self acupressure to treat my condition at home and/or prescribe herbs. I will be responsible for finding a place to fill the herbal prescription. The Practitioner will base this assessment solely on the information provided by me to him via a patient form and the consultation itself.
I understand and agree that:
· The Practitioner’s telehealth consultation is solely based on the information provided by me and, in the absence of a physical evaluation, The Practitioner may not be aware of certain facts that may limit or affect his assessment or diagnosis of my condition and recommended treatment.
· The telehealth consultation is very different from a regular face-to-face examination and that The Practitioner is limited by the information provided by me. Accordingly, the diagnosis I will receive is limited and provisional.
· A telehealth consultation is not intended to replace a full face-to-face evaluation.
· I will not have direct contact with The Practitioner unless I decide to travel to Hamilton, New Zealand for an evaluation afterwards.
· The Practitioner is only rendering a telehealth consultation and does not assume any responsibility for my continued medical care or treatment.
· I am responsible for all the expenses related to my telehealth consultation request including, but not limited to, consultation fees, phone charges if necessary.
· My medical information will be handled with strict confidentiality, privacy and security; however, I understand there are risks associated with any electronic transfer process from one location to another.
· I solely assume the risk of the limitations set forth herein, and I further understand that no warranty or guarantee has been made to me concerning any particular result related to my condition or diagnosis.
