Effective Date: October 2025

InHouse Medical LLC provides telehealth services to patients located in Connecticut and Massachusetts in accordance with applicable state and federal laws governing the practice of telemedicine.

Our telehealth services are designed to offer convenient, secure, and effective medical care for patients who prefer or require remote visits. By scheduling or participating in a telehealth appointment with InHouse Medical, patients acknowledge and agree to the following:

1. Nature of Telehealth Services

Telehealth involves the use of electronic communications and technology to enable healthcare providers at different locations to share medical information for the purpose of improving patient care. Telehealth may include real-time video conferencing, secure messaging, audio communication, and digital transmission of medical data such as images, lab results, or prescriptions.

2. Patient Eligibility and Location

Telehealth services are available only to patients who are physically located in the states where InHouse Medical providers are licensed to practice. At this time, telehealth visits are offered to patients located in Connecticut and Massachusetts.

Patients must confirm their physical location at the time of each telehealth visit, as state regulations require providers to hold a valid license in the state where the patient is located during the appointment.

3. Risks and Benefits of Telehealth

Potential Benefits:

Increased access to healthcare, including convenient scheduling and reduced travel time.

Continuity of care for established patients through remote follow-ups.

The ability to manage ongoing conditions and preventive health needs efficiently.

Potential Risks:

Technical failures (poor internet connection, platform malfunction) could delay or interrupt care.

Limitations in performing physical examinations may impact diagnostic accuracy.

Security breaches, though unlikely, could occur despite encryption and privacy safeguards.

InHouse Medical utilizes HIPAA-compliant telehealth platforms and encrypted connections to protect patient privacy and minimize these risks.

4. Patient Rights

Patients using telehealth services have the same rights as those receiving in-person care. This includes:

The right to refuse or discontinue telehealth at any time without affecting future care or access to services.

The right to confidentiality of medical information as protected under HIPAA.

The right to know the identity and credentials of the healthcare provider.

The right to request an in-person visit when medically appropriate.

5. Privacy and Security

All telehealth communications are conducted through secure, encrypted platforms that meet or exceed federal privacy and security requirements under HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act).

No telehealth sessions will be recorded, stored, or shared without the patient’s prior written consent, except as required by law.

6. Consent to Treatment

By initiating a telehealth appointment, the patient acknowledges understanding the information above and voluntarily consents to receive healthcare services via telehealth from an authorized provider of InHouse Medical LLC.

If a patient does not consent to telehealth, alternative in-person appointments are available at our physical office location in Waterbury, Connecticut.
