Thank you for choosing FlyteHealth as your healthcare provider. We realize you have a choice in selecting healthcare providers and we are honored you have chosen us. Our staff is committed to providing our patients with high-quality and compassionate care. As part of our relationship with you, it is important that you understand your consent to be treated and any financial responsibilities with respect to your health care. Please contact us if you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions.
Before you can schedule your initial visit with a FlyteHealth clinical provider and receive treatment, please download and use the FlyteHealth patient application and submit the one or more of the following pieces of information:
All of this information will be saved within FlyteHealth’s patient application and electronic health records platform as part of your patient record which you can access at any time through a secure internet connection.
During the course of your clinical care, several of these pieces of information will need to be updated annually. FlyteHealth will send you electronic messages via email or through secure mobile text messages to update this information in the FlyteHealth patient application.
IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING A MEDICAL EMERGENCY, DIAL 911 OR PROCEED TO THE NEAREST EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT IMMEDIATELY. FlyteHealth does not provide emergency medical treatment. If you are experiencing a behavioral health crisis, there are additional options to get help, including contacting your local crisis center, calling or texting the 988 Lifeline at 988, or contacting the Crisis Text Line (text “HOME” to 741741).
Your signature below indicates your voluntary and informed consent to the rendering of medical treatment by FlyteHealth’s clinical providers and affiliated staff based upon their professional judgment, and also indicates your agreement with the terms contained herein.
When you initiate a telehealth visit (a “virtual visit”) with a FlyteHealth clinical provider, you hereby consent to participate in such telehealth visit, its recording by FlyteHealth, and you understand you may terminate such virtual visit at any time by leaving the visit. There are various benefits associated with telehealth services, including improved access to medical treatment and clinical care by enabling our patients to remain in their home or office while consulting with a FlyteHealth clinical provider. There are risks, as well though, such as certain privacy risks and some limitations on a provider’s ability to perform a physical examination. A provider may refer you to in-person or a higher level of care, if indicated. FlyteHealth’s goal is to provide you with efficient clinical care evaluation and medical management.
During any visit with FlyteHealth, you attest that the physical location information you provide is accurate and current for the duration of the session. You agree that you will not record, photograph, screen-capture, or otherwise attempt to store any part of any visit with FlyteHealth.
FlyteHealth’s staff is composed of licensed physicians, nurse practitioners, and registered dieticians who are supported by medical assistants, nurses, wellness coaches, and patient care coordination personnel. Where required, FlyteHealth’s clinical providers may be practicing under collaboration, supervision, or delegation agreements, in accordance with applicable state law.
The medical treatment services provided by FlyteHealth may also include medical chart review, medication prescribing, medication refill reminders, health information sharing with other clinical professionals not directly affiliated with FlyteHealth, and non-clinical services, such as appointment scheduling and patient education.
The electronic communication systems FlyteHealth uses will incorporate secure, encrypted network and software security protocols to protect the confidentiality of patient identification and imaging data. FlyteHealth implements measures to safeguard your protected health information to ensure its integrity against intentional or unintentional corruption consistent with our obligations under applicable federal and state laws.
Group Nutrition Visits (if applicable): If you qualify for and choose to participate in a Group Nutrition Visit (“GNV”), you understand that GNVs are led by a facilitator who does not provide medical diagnosis or treatment. You agree to continue to rely on your treating provider for medical advice. You understand GNVs will be conducted via a video call system and is a group meeting, and that therefore, there are inherent privacy and other risks, including that other participants will see you and hear information about you, and that there is a chance other people may overhear the conversation. You acknowledge that other participants will be asked to keep participant identities confidential, but they are under no legal obligation to do so. By participating in a GNV, you agree to hold FlyteHealth, its staff, and the facilitator harmless from liability arising from another participant’s disclosure of your information. You agree to join GNVs from a private, secure space and use headphones or earbuds if others may overhear; and I will not disclose the names, personal details, health information, or any other information about any other participant.
You acknowledge that neither a FlyteHealth clinical provider, nor any of his or her staff have made any guarantee or promise as to the results that you will obtain from our medical treatment.
Possible risks associated with your medical treatment and ongoing care include those risks associated with any medications prescribed, underlying health conditions, or medical or diagnostic procedures. Additional risks include delays in clinical evaluation and immediate treatment due to deficiencies or failures of the medical equipment and technologies FlyteHealth clinical providers use to care for you. In rare events, our clinical providers may determine that your transmitted information is of inadequate quality or reflects an elevated health concern, or that your condition requires in-person examination, thus necessitating a rescheduled telehealth visit with your FlyteHealth clinical provider or a recommended clinical visit with your primary care physician or specialist.
Your FlyteHealth clinical provider’s credentials are made available to you before scheduling a telehealth appointment. If you have any questions about your FlyteHealth provider’s credentials, please direct them to support@flytehealth.com. For those states that require it, you can find an explanation of the levels of regulation applicable to mental health clinicians under the STATE REGULATIONS section of this document.
You understand that your FlyteHealth clinical provider and FlyteHealth staff may contact you based upon the contact information you have provided to FlyteHealth, and you consent to such contact which may be delivered through phone calls/voicemails (mobile and landline phone numbers on file), emails (email address on file), and/or secure mobile text messaging (mobile phone number on file). This consent and permission includes (1) to leave answering machine and voicemail messages for me, and include in such messages any information required by law (including debt collection laws) and/or information regarding amounts owed by me; (2) to send me text messages or emails using any email addresses or cellular device numbers I have provided; (3) to send me paperless billing statements or other information by email or text notification; (4) to use pre-recorded/artificial voice messages, and (5) to use an automatic dialing device in connection with these communications. I represent that I am the owner of the phone number(s) provided and have the authority to grant the permission and consent to contact as provided herein.
These communications may notify you of the availability of your care summaries (after visit summary), or of treatment instructions or recommendations, test results, outstanding balances, or any other communications from your provider. By seeking treatment with FlyteHealth, you are consenting to these means of communication, but you may opt out of receiving any or all of these types of communications by notifying a member of our team in writing.
While receiving care from a FlyteHealth clinical provider, it may be recommended for you to utilize a FlyteHealth issued cellular weight scale and/or blood pressure cuff with a heart rate monitor for our clinical staff to monitor your health progress. These devices automatically sync your health information results data with our FlyteHealth patient application and electronic health record platform, each time you use them. The synced health information results data will be used by our FlyteHealth clinical provider and supporting clinical care team to measure and manage your medical treatment, and these measurement results will be discussed with you during the course of your clinical care.
For patients who have bluetooth devices (e.g., weight scales, heart rate monitors, Apple Health Kit watches/mobile phones/tablets, or Google Fit watches/mobile phones/tablets) that are approved by FlyteHealth to sync health information data with the FlyteHealth patient application, these synced health information results data will be used by our FlyteHealth clinical provider and supporting clinical care team to measure and manage your medical treatment, and these measurement results will be discussed with you during the course of your clinical care.
It is important that only your data is provided to FlyteHealth, and that you do not allow others to use or sync their data with your patient profile at FlyteHealth.
If you need any assistance with connecting cellular or bluetooth devices with the FlyteHealth patient application, please contact support@flytehealth.com.
As a patient of FlyteHealth, you may request a copy of your medical records, or to have FlyteHealth send your personal medical records to another healthcare provider. Any request for your medical records can be submitted to our staff by filling out a Medical Record Release form which can be obtained at mymedicalrecords@flytehealth.com.
Patients are ultimately responsible for all charges for medical treatment services and devices provided by FlyteHealth. You acknowledge you have requested medical treatment services from FlyteHealth, for yourself and/or your dependents, and understand that by making this request for medical treatment you become financially responsible for any and all charges incurred.
Payment is expected at the time of the telehealth visit for all charges owed as well as any prior balance owed by you or your dependent as a patient of FlyteHealth. When FlyteHealth is provided information from your commercial insurance carrier on patient responsibility, we may request payment for that amount before the start of the telehealth visit. For any payment collected prior to medical treatment services being rendered, including telehealth visits, it will be applied toward total charges for your telehealth visits. If there is a difference in the amount provided up-front as part of the patient responsibility, an invoice statement will be sent to you for any balance due to FlyteHealth.
For patients enrolled in a self-funded, Employer Sponsored Plan, your employer (the “Employer Payer”) is ultimately responsible for all charges for services provided by FlyteHealth for medical treatment services provided to you or your dependents.
You and your dependents acknowledge you are eligible and have requested medical treatment services from FlyteHealth on behalf of yourself and/or your dependents, and you understand that by making this request, the Employer Payer has become financially responsible for any and all charges incurred in the course of the medical treatment authorized.
Payment by an Employer Payer will occur based upon your Employer Payer’s agreement terms with FlyteHealth and your Employer Payer shall be responsible for payments to FlyteHealth for all charges owed as well as any prior balance. When and if we are provided information from your Employer Payer who requires direct patient responsibility for payment in addition to what your Employer Payer is contracted to pay FlyteHealth for medical treatment services rendered to you and/or your dependents, we may request payment from you for that amount before the start of the telehealth visit or medical treatment services. For any payment collected prior to a telehealth visit or medical treatment services being rendered, it will be applied toward total charges for your telehealth visits or medical treatment services. If there is a difference in the amount provided up-front as patient responsibility, an invoice statement will be sent to you for any balance due to FlyteHealth in addition to the payments made to FlyteHealth by your Employer Payer.
In consideration of the medical treatment services provided by your FlyteHealth clinical provider, except for Employer Sponsored Plan participants, you agree that you are responsible for all charges for medical treatment services, including devices you receive that are not covered by your commercial health insurance carrier plan. You are responsible for understanding the benefits and limitations of your commercial health insurance carrier plan and are expected to pay the entire amount determined by your commercial health insurance carrier plan to be the patient’s responsibility. FlyteHealth will provide medically necessary clinical care based on a patient's needs, not a patient’s insurance coverage. FlyteHealth is not responsible for knowing your plan’s specific benefit and coverage limitations.
Please be advised, as a courtesy, you will receive an automated email and/or call to the primary phone number listed on file with FlyteHealth to remind you of your telehealth visit appointment date and time.
If you need to reschedule your telehealth visit appointment, please call the FlyteHealth office at 844-359-8363 forty-eight (48) hours in advance to change your telehealth visit appointment in order for you to reschedule your telehealth visit appointment and not be charged a fee.
For commercial health insurance carrier patients, self-pay patients, and in some Employer Payer program patients, failure to notify the office within forty-eight (48) hours may result in a minimum cancellation fee amount of $75 for a physician or nurse practitioner telehealth visit appointment, and $50 for a registered dietitian telehealth visit appointment. Repeated failure to call and cancel your scheduled telehealth visit appointment without the proper forty-eight (48) hour notice may result in your dismissal as a patient.
Except for Employer Sponsored Plan participants, an invoice statement will be sent after your telehealth visit for any outstanding balances that have become your patient financial responsibility. All outstanding balances are due on receipt. If you have an outstanding balance for more than ninety (90) days, you may be referred to an outside collection agency and charged a collection fee in addition to the balance owed to FlyteHealth.
When making a payment for your telehealth visit appointment with one of our FlyteHealth clinical providers, there is an option to store your credit card on file. This information will be held securely and is offered to simplify the payment process. Once FlyteHealth is notified of any additional amount that has been determined to be patient responsibility, we will notify you that your outstanding balance will be charged to your credit card on file. Please call the FlyteHealth office at 844-359-8363 if you have any questions about your outstanding balance.
Under the No Surprise Act, healthcare providers must give patients who do not have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services. You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call the FlyteHealth office at 844-359-8363.
You certify the commercial health insurance plan or Employer Payer plan information provided is accurate, complete, and current and that you have no other insurance coverage. You understand and agree that payment of authorized benefits under Medicare, commercial health insurance plan, and/or any of your insurance carriers will be made to you or on your behalf to FlyteHealth for medical treatment services rendered to yourself and/or your dependents by FlyteHealth. You understand that you are responsible for any monetary amount not covered by your insurance.
You hereby authorize your FlyteHealth clinical provider or any holder of your medical information, or the patient listed below, a release to your health insurance plan information needed to determine benefits or the benefits payable for related medical treatment services provided by FlyteHealth. You permit payment from your insurance or other third-party payor to go to FlyteHealth directly, and you permit FlyteHealth in its sole discretion, to determine, apply for and obtain benefits, and get paid from, any and/or all available payor sources until your account is paid in full.
