Nu Image Medical’s Consent to Participate in Telemedicine Health Services

Last revised June 31st, 2021

Purpose

The purpose of this form is to provide you with information about telemedicine and to obtain your informed consent to participate in Nu Image Medical, Inc.’s telemedicine health service as part of your medical care.

Nature of Telemedicine

Telemedicine involves the use of electronic communications to enable a health care provider and a patient at different locations to share medical information for the purpose of evaluation, diagnosis, consultation, or treatment of the patient. The delivery of healthcare via telemedicine allows the patient and provider to establish a relationship, like they would during a traditional face-to-face appointment. For example, your telemedicine encounter may include interaction through and with the use of the internet, recorded audio communications, physical examinations, medical imaging, medical tests, and diagnoses, as well as related technologies known as “store-and- forward.”

Benefits

The benefits of telemedicine include improved access to medical services and care, including the expertise of specialists and consultants that may not otherwise be available to you. Telemedicine also permits increased efficiency in evaluations, diagnoses, consultations, and treatment.

Potential Risks

The potential risks associated with the use of telemedicine are rare but include delays in medical evaluation and treatment due to equipment failures or information transmission deficiencies (such as poor image resolution); breach of privacy of protected health information due to security breaches or failures; and adverse drug interactions, allergic reactions, complications, or other errors due to patient’s failure to provide complete medical information or records.

Indemnification

YOU AGREE TO INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS NU IMAGE MEDICAL INC., ITS EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, DIRECTORS, MEMBERS, MANAGERS, SHAREHOLDERS, OFFICERS, REPRESENTATIVES, ASSIGNS, PARENTS, PREDECESSORS, AND SUCCESSORS FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LOSS, DAMAGE, EXPENSE, LIABILITY, CLAIM, OR DEMAND WHATSOEVER, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO ANY FAILURE OF TECHNOLOGY OR EQUIPMENT IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROVISION OF TELEMEDICINE WHETHER OR NOT ANY SUCH LOSS, DAMAGE, EXPENSE, LIABILITY, CLAIM, OR DEMAND ARISES FROM OR RELATES TO NU IMAGE MEDICAL INC.’S NEGLIGENCE.

Alternatives

Alternative methods of care may be available to you, such as in-person services. Your provider will explain any such options to you, and you may choose an alternative at any time.

Follow-up Care; Emergency Situations

In some situations, telemedicine is not an appropriate method of care. If there is an urgent situation, if you have an adverse reaction, if a technical failure prevents you from communicating with your telemedicine provider, or if you believe telemedicine will not provide sufficient safety and quality, you should contact Nu Image Medical Inc. ( https://nuimagemedical.com/contact ). Otherwise, you must seek care at an emergency room facility or other provider equipped to deliver urgent or emergent care. If the situation is an emergency, call 911.

Your Privacy Rights

Nu Image Medical Inc. uses network and software security protocols to protect the confidentiality of your patient health information, including for example your medical record, EMR, imaging, and personal financial data. These protocols are designed to safeguard the data and to ensure its integrity against corruption. Personal information that identifies you or contains protected health information will not be disclosed to any third party without your consent, except as authorized by law for the purposes of consultation, treatment, payment/billing, and certain administrative purposes, or as otherwise set forth in Nu Image Medical Inc.’s Privacy Polices located at https://nuimagemedical.com/privacy-policy and https://nuimagemedical.com/notice-of-privacy-practices.

You may withhold or withdraw your consent to the telemedicine health service at any time before or during the consult without affecting the right to future care or treatment. You may also withdraw consent to extra personnel participating in telemedicine health services. You may also revoke your consent to allow Nu Image Medical Inc. to store and use the video images and audio recordings. The request to revoke consent must be in writing and received by Nu Image Medical Inc. If you revoke your consent, the video images and audio recordings will be destroyed and no longer used by Nu Image Medical Inc. Any uses of the video made with your permission prior to Nu Image Medical Inc.’s receipt of your revocation cannot be changed or undone. To revoke your consent to Nu Image Medical Inc.’s storage and use of video images and audio recordings of your telemedicine health service, please send a written statement to Nu Image Medical Inc. ( https://nuimagemedical.com/contact ) and state that you are revoking your consent for Nu Image Medical Inc. to store and use video images and audio recordings of your telemedicine health service.
