Telehealth Informed Consent

This Telehealth Informed Consent ("Consent") explains the telehealth services offered by Regener8MD and the medical practice of Anthony L. Capasso, M.D. ("Regener8MD," "we," "our," or "us"), the benefits and risks of telehealth, and your rights and responsibilities. Please read it carefully. You will be asked to sign or electronically accept this Consent during intake, before your first telehealth visit. It remains in effect for all telehealth services you receive from us until you withdraw it in writing.

1. Definitions

"Telehealth" means the delivery of health care services, including assessment, consultation, treatment planning, education, care management, and prescribing where permitted, using secure, real-time two-way audio and video, secure messaging, and the secure transfer of medical information such as lab results, images, and wearable data, between you and a Regener8MD clinician who is not physically with you. "Clinician" means Dr. Capasso or another licensed health care professional working under Regener8MD.

2. Services Covered by This Consent

This Consent applies to telehealth services provided to members of Clinical Membership and Physician Concierge, including physician reviews of your laboratory, epigenetic, mitochondrial, and microbiome results; protocol and treatment planning; nutritional consults; follow-up visits; and secure messaging with your care team. The free Regener8MD app, the Baseline Kit, and the Longevity Kit are wellness and education tools, not medical care, and are governed by our App Terms of Use.

3. How Telehealth Visits Work

4. Expected Benefits

5. Possible Risks and Limitations

As with any medical service, telehealth has risks. These include, but are not limited to:

6. Your Location and Clinician Licensure

Regener8MD serves clients around the world through the Regener8MD app. Physician telehealth visits are provided only where the law allows: by a clinician licensed in the jurisdiction where you are physically located at the time of the visit, or as otherwise permitted by applicable law. You agree to tell us your true physical location at the start of every visit. If a visit cannot lawfully take place by telehealth from your location, we will tell you and help you arrange an in-person visit at our Jacksonville Beach or Jacksonville, Florida office.

7. Prescriptions

Your clinician decides whether a prescription is clinically appropriate and will not prescribe solely because you request it. Peptides, hormones, and other medications are prescribed only when your results and history support them. Federal and Florida law limit prescribing of controlled substances by telehealth; some prescriptions, including testosterone, require an in-person visit. Medications are filled by licensed pharmacies, which may be located outside Florida and may not ship to every location.

8. Emergencies

Telehealth is not for emergencies. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 in the United States, your local emergency number outside the United States, or go to the nearest emergency room. If a clinician believes you need emergency care during a visit, you agree that we may contact emergency services at the location you gave us and your designated emergency contact.

9. If the Connection Is Lost

If a visit is interrupted, your clinician will try to reconnect by video and then call the phone number you gave at the start of the visit. If the visit cannot be completed, we will reschedule it at no additional charge.

10. Privacy, Security, and Recording

11. Your Responsibilities

12. Coordination With Your Other Clinicians

With your permission, we may share your visit summary and protocol with your primary care physician or other treating clinicians. We encourage you to keep a primary care physician for your general medical needs.

13. Fees

Telehealth visits included in Clinical Membership or Physician Concierge carry no additional fee. Other services are billed as described in your membership agreement. Regener8MD is a cash-pay practice and does not bill insurance; memberships are not health insurance.
