This Telehealth Informed Consent describes the nature, benefits, and limitations of receiving healthcare services through telehealth with Aries Mens Health, a brand operated by Ariez Biocorp LLC. Please read carefully. By continuing to use our services, and by acknowledging this consent during intake, you confirm that you understand and agree to the following.
1. What telehealth means
Telehealth is the use of electronic communications — including video, phone, secure messaging, and file transfer — to deliver clinical services at a distance. With Aries Mens Health, your licensed clinician may evaluate you, review your laboratory results, provide clinical recommendations, issue prescriptions where appropriate, and conduct follow-up visits entirely remotely.
2. Expected benefits
- Increased access to specialized men's health and hormone-optimization services.
- Convenience — no travel required for most visits.
- Coordinated review of laboratory data by our licensed clinical team.
- Faster follow-up and easier protocol adjustments.
3. Possible risks and limitations
- No in-person physical exam. Certain findings that are detectable only with a hands-on physical exam may not be identified through telehealth.
- Technology failures. Internet or device issues may delay or disrupt a visit.
- Privacy limits. While we use HIPAA-aware systems and reasonable security safeguards, electronic communication carries inherent risks of unauthorized disclosure. We minimize these risks through encryption, access controls, and workforce training.
- Limited scope. Telehealth is not appropriate for emergencies. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.
- Clinical discretion. Your clinician may determine that an in-person visit with another provider is needed. In that case, your clinician will advise you.
4. Alternatives to telehealth
You have the right to seek in-person care with another provider at any time. You are not required to continue using telehealth services with Aries Mens Health and may withdraw consent at any time.
5. No guarantee of outcomes
Clinical recommendations reflect professional judgment at a point in time based on the information available. Individual results vary. No particular outcome is guaranteed.
6. Prescriptions
Prescriptions, if any, are issued by a licensed clinician based on your clinical evaluation and dispensed only by licensed US pharmacies. Your clinician may decline to prescribe any therapy if, in their professional judgment, it is not clinically appropriate. Controlled substances (where applicable) are prescribed only when consistent with federal and state law, including the Ryan Haight Act and any applicable telehealth controlled-substance regulations in effect at the time.
7. Privacy and recording
Your telehealth visits are handled in accordance with applicable privacy laws, including HIPAA where applicable, and with the terms of our Privacy Policy and Notice of Privacy Practices. Visits are not recorded without your knowledge. If recording is proposed for clinical or educational reasons, we will obtain your explicit consent in advance.
8. Patient responsibilities
- Be in a private, quiet location for telehealth visits.
- Confirm your location at the start of each visit (your clinician must know what state you are in).
- Provide accurate and complete information.
- Follow protocols your clinician provides and report side effects or concerns promptly.
- Seek in-person emergency care when needed.
9. Your rights
- You have the right to withhold or withdraw this consent at any time without affecting your right to future care.
- You have the right to request an in-person referral.
- You have the right to access your medical records as described in our Notice of Privacy Practices.
- You have the right to ask questions at any time and receive answers you understand.
10. Acknowledgment
By continuing to use Aries Mens Health telehealth services, and by checking the telehealth consent box in your patient portal at intake, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this consent and voluntarily agree to receive care via telehealth.
