Leader Health LLC is committed to providing high-quality healthcare services through telehealth, which includes Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), Sexual Health Therapy, and Fat Loss Therapy. Telehealth allows patients to receive medical care remotely through electronic communication platforms, ensuring continuity of care without the need for in-person visits.

The purpose of this Consent form (Consent) is to provide you with detailed information about telehealth and to obtain your informed consent to the use of telehealth in the delivery of healthcare services by physicians, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners ("Providers") using the online platforms owned and operated by Leader Health LLC (the Company).

By clicking the I agree checkbox, submitting your information to Leader Health LLC, using any other acceptance protocol presented through the service, or otherwise affirmatively accepting this Consent, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the terms outlined in this Consent. If you do not agree to this Consent, you should not create an account or use the telehealth services provided by Leader Health LLC. Furthermore, by agreeing, you grant authority to any party who clicks on the I agree button or otherwise indicates acceptance of this Consent on your behalf.

Telehealth involves the use of electronic communications to facilitate healthcare services between you and your Providers who may be in different locations. This may include:

• Accessing patient medical records.
• Sharing medical images.
• Real-time two-way audio and video communication.
• Transmission of data from medical devices and sound/video files.

The electronic systems used by Leader Health LLC incorporate network and software security protocols to protect the confidentiality of patient identification and medical data, ensuring that the data remains secure and unaltered.

The potential benefits of utilizing telehealth through Leader Health LLC include:

• Enhanced access to medical care and treatment for the conditions addressed by your Providers.
• Convenience in scheduling and receiving care at times that suit you, without the need for travel.
• The ability to consult with your Providers from the comfort of your own home, reducing the necessity for in-office visits.
• Access to the expertise of distant specialists who may not be locally available.

As with any medical procedure, telehealth carries certain risks, which may include, but are not limited to:

• The quality, accuracy, or effectiveness of the healthcare services provided could be limited due to technology issues. These issues may include bugs or errors in the technology, which could affect functionality, produce incorrect results, render parts of the service unavailable or inoperable, or cause data to be corrupted or lost.
• Technology failures may impair your Providers' ability to correctly diagnose or treat your condition.
• The inability of your Providers to conduct certain in-person tests or assessments may prevent a full diagnosis or the identification of a need for emergency care.
• Your Providers may determine that telehealth is not suitable for your condition, requiring you to seek alternative healthcare services.
• Delays in medical evaluation and treatment could occur due to unavailability of your Providers or failures in the technology or equipment used.
• In rare instances, the electronic systems or security protocols used could fail, leading to a breach of your medical or personal information.
• Regulatory limitations in certain jurisdictions may restrict your Providers' ability to prescribe certain medications or offer specific treatments.
• In rare cases, a lack of access to your full medical history may result in adverse drug interactions, allergic reactions, or other medical errors.

If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 immediately. Telehealth is not suitable for emergency situations. For non-emergency follow-up care, you may communicate with your Providers through the secure messaging service in the Patient Portal. If technical issues prevent you from contacting your Providers through the Portal, you can reach us at (256) 473- 2464.
