1. Acceptance of Consent
By clicking "I Agree," checking a related box, or using any acceptance method provided through the Service, you acknowledge and accept this Telehealth Consent ("Consent"). If you do not agree, do not create an account or use the Service. Acceptance on your behalf by another party constitutes agency authority.

If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency, call 911 or the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. The Service is not appropriate for urgent or emergency medical situations.
3. Purpose
This Consent provides information about telehealth and authorizes physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and other licensed professionals ("Providers") to deliver care through Ambrosia Meds' digital platform ("Service").
4. What is Telehealth?
Telehealth is the delivery of healthcare services remotely through electronic communication. It may involve:
-
Remote diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up
-
Sharing medical records, images, or personal health data
-
Real-time communication (video, audio, messaging)
-
Device-generated health data
You may choose in-person alternatives at any time. Discuss options with your Provider.
5. Benefits of Telehealth
-
Convenient and efficient access to care
-
Flexible scheduling
-
No in-office visits required
6. Risks of Telehealth
Potential risks include:
-
Technology limitations or malfunctions
-
Inaccurate or delayed diagnosis
-
Limited ability for physical exams or tests
-
Delayed responses from Providers
-
Security breaches or data loss
-
Potential exposure of private data (e.g., via email)
-
Treatment limitations due to licensing, jurisdiction, or incomplete records
7. Emergency & Follow-Up
For emergencies, call 911. Telehealth is not suitable for all situations. Providers may not respond immediately. Use the secure message feature for non-urgent communications.
8. Data Privacy
The Service uses encryption and other safeguards to protect your information. Your data will not be shared without your consent, except:
-
As required by law
-
For treatment, billing, or healthcare operations
-
In cases of mandatory reporting (e.g., abuse or threats)
-
As described in your Provider's Notice of Privacy Practices
Ambrosia Meds cannot guarantee the security of your email or personal communication methods.
9. Where Providers Are Licensed
Providers are licensed in the states where they deliver care, and telehealth is only available to you if you are physically located in a state where a Provider holds a licence at the time of your consultation. Ambrosia Meds currently serves patients in 49 states and is not able to provide services in Mississippi.
If you move, or are travelling outside a supported state, tell your Provider — care may need to pause until you return to a state where they are licensed.
