Parent or Legal Guardian Authority
I affirm that I am the parent or legal guardian of the minor child receiving care and that I have legal authority to consent to medical care for this child. If custody of the child is shared, I affirm that I have the authority to consent to this care, and I agree to notify Nabi Health promptly if my authority to consent changes or is contested.
Consent for Treatment of a Minor
I do hereby agree and give my consent to Nabi Health to provide health and medical care and treatment considered necessary and proper to my child/ward, in diagnosing and/or treating the physical and mental condition of my child/ward.
I understand that I have the right to refuse any medical treatment or procedure for my child/ward, and that I may discuss any and all medical treatments or procedures with their healthcare provider.
Consent for Telehealth Services
I understand that Nabi Health delivers care via telehealth, meaning my child/ward's provider uses electronic video and communication technology to provide services while my child/ward and the provider are in different locations. I consent to my child/ward receiving health care services from Nabi Health via telehealth through Healthie, a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform.
I understand that the laws that protect the privacy and confidentiality of my child/ward's medical information also apply to telehealth.
I understand that while telehealth has been found to be effective for a wide range of conditions, there is no guarantee that treatment will be effective for every patient.
I understand that telehealth involves technology risks, including internet interruptions and technical difficulties with hardware, software, or internet connection that may interrupt a session, and that Nabi Health does not guarantee that services will be available or work as expected.
I understand that I am responsible for information security on my own devices, for keeping my account username and password private, and for ensuring that my child/ward joins sessions from a private location where others cannot overhear.
I understand that my child/ward's provider or I may discontinue telehealth services if this type of service delivery is not meeting my child/ward's needs.
Consent for the Use and Disclosure of Health Information
I do hereby authorize Nabi Health to release any information acquired in the course of the minor's examination(s) and treatment(s) to any authorized agent for the purposes of healthcare, treatment, and payment.
Consent to Bill, Assignment of Benefits, and Payment
I allow Nabi Health to file a claim for insurance benefits to pay for the care that my child/ward receives. I authorize Nabi Health payment of benefits directly to Nabi Health, for services provided to my child/ward.
I understand the following:
Nabi Health will send the medical record information of my child/ward to the insurance company in order to file for insurance benefits for the care provided.
I will be responsible for paying any amount for the cost of these services that insurance does not pay.
I will be responsible for paying the full cost of these services if my child/ward does not have eligible insurance.
Risks of Treatment
I understand that there may be some risks to my child/ward including, but not limited to emotional distress related to discussing food, body weight, or health history; the potential for temporary changes in appetite or energy levels as dietary habits shift; and the risk that nutritional recommendations may interact with undiagnosed medical conditions or medications if not fully disclosed.
Emergency
If you or your child/ward have a medical emergency, please call 911, or go to your nearest hospital emergency department. If you or your child/ward experience a mental health crisis or need to speak to someone, please call or text the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988 at any time.
Limits of Confidentiality
I understand that Nabi Health is permitted or required, under specific circumstances, to use or disclose protected health information without my written authorization. These include: suspected child or elder abuse or neglect; a serious threat of physical harm to the patient or others; or in response to a legal court order or subpoena.
