Last Updated: March 18, 2026

Slym Wellness Clinic LLC provides certain medical services through telehealth technology, which allows patients to consult with licensed healthcare providers using secure electronic communications.

This Telehealth Informed Consent explains how telehealth services work and the risks and benefits associated with receiving healthcare services remotely.

By scheduling or participating in a telehealth appointment with Slym Wellness Clinic LLC, you acknowledge that you have read, understand, and agree to the terms outlined below.

What Telehealth Is

Telehealth involves the use of electronic communication technologies to enable healthcare providers and patients to interact remotely for the purpose of diagnosis, consultation, treatment, and medical advice.

Telehealth services may include:

  • Video consultations
  • Secure messaging
  • Digital intake forms and medical questionnaires
  • Remote monitoring and follow-up care
  • Electronic prescribing where medically appropriate

These services allow patients to receive care without being physically present in the same location as the provider.

Patient Acknowledgments

By participating in telehealth services, you acknowledge and agree that:

  1. Telehealth allows healthcare providers to evaluate, diagnose, and treat patients remotely using telecommunications technology.
  2. Telehealth services may involve the electronic transmission of medical information, which may include:
    • Medical history
    • Health records
    • Lab results
    • Images or other medical data
  3. While telehealth platforms used by Slym Wellness Clinic are designed to protect patient privacy, no technology can guarantee absolute security.
  4. Telehealth services may not be appropriate for every medical condition.
  5. Your healthcare provider may determine that an in-person visit is necessary in order to properly evaluate or treat your condition.

Potential Benefits of Telehealth

Telehealth services may provide several benefits, including:

  • Increased access to healthcare providers
  • Reduced travel time and transportation barriers
  • More convenient scheduling
  • Improved follow-up and continuity of care
  • Access to specialized care that may not be locally available

Potential Risks of Telehealth

While telehealth services offer many advantages, there are also potential risks, including:

  • Technical difficulties that may interrupt the consultation
  • Limitations in performing certain physical examinations remotely
  • Possible delays in diagnosis if additional in-person evaluation is required
  • Potential security risks associated with electronic communication

If technical issues occur during a consultation, the provider may attempt to reconnect or reschedule the appointment.

Patient Responsibilities

Patients using telehealth services agree to:

  • Provide accurate and complete medical information
  • Participate in telehealth visits from a private and secure location when possible
  • Use a device capable of supporting telehealth communication
  • Notify the provider if they are experiencing a medical emergency
