  • In-person Office Visits. If you choose to be seen in our office, we will generally have a same-day appointment available for you. We will always schedule sufficient time to thoroughly discuss your healthcare. 

  • Virtual Care. Your time is valuable, and so you may choose to receive your care virtually via video visit, telephone or text. We consider Virtual Care a vital part of your membership and we are swift to respond to your needs. 

  • Out of Office Visits. Occasionally, it may be most appropriate for you to receive care at your home or office. We will provide out of office visits as our schedule allows, subject to certain limitations.

  • Participation Physical Exam. Often a physical exam is needed for work, school, sports or camps. This is included as part of your membership and we can provide you with standard forms or fill out whatever forms are needed by your organization.

  • Urgent Care. When you do not feel well, we can evaluate you in-person or virtually at home or the location of your choosing.

Once the specialist consultation is complete, we will continue to work with your specialists to coordinate care with our office. While hospitalist services are not a part of your membership, if you are admitted to the hospital, we will work diligently with your hospital practitioners to facilitate the best care available.

INFORMED CONSENT TO TREAT
I hereby give my consent for Ikigai Family Physician to provide comprehensive medical treatment. 
I understand and I am informed that, as with all healthcare treatments, results are not guaranteed and there is no promise of cure. 
I have had the opportunity to discuss with my practitioner the nature and purpose of treatments and procedures. I am aware that all existing methods of diagnosis and treatment pose some level of risk. 
I do not expect the practitioner to be able to anticipate and explain all risks and complications, and I wish to rely on the practitioner to exercise judgment during the course of the treatment which the practitioner feels at the time, based upon the facts then known, is in my best interests.
I will immediately inform the practitioner if I experience any unanticipated or unpleasant effects associated with treatments prescribed/recommended. I understand that if an emergency medical condition arises, I am expected to call 911
 
TELEHEALTH CONSENT
I consent to voluntarily engaging in a telemedicine consultation with the practice. I understand that the video conferencing technology will not be the same as a direct patient/health care practitioner visit. 
Telehealth consultation has potential benefits, including easier access to care, decreasing costs, and allowing visits to be performed from the comfort of my home. It also has potential risks including interruptions, unauthorized access, and technical difficulties. 
I understand that my health care practitioner or I can discontinue the telehealth consult/visit if it is felt that the videoconferencing connections are not adequate for the situation.
If there is another individual present during the telehealth consultation, I will be informed of their presence and I will also disclose if there is another individual with myself. It is agreed that these individuals will maintain confidentiality of the information obtained. I further understand that I will be informed of their presence in the consultation and thus will have the right to request the following: (1) omit specific details of my medical history/physical examination that are personally sensitive to me; (2) ask non-medical personnel to leave the telemedicine examination room: and or (3) terminate the consultation at any time.
I understand that telemedicine has limitations in regard to the physical examination. I understand that the physical exam portion of the care provided through the practice will be limited to inspection via video conferencing and some parts of the exam such as physical tests, examination of certain body parts, and vital signs may be conducted by individuals at my location at the direction of the consulting health care practitioner or not done at all.
Telemedicine services offered through the practice are not an Emergency Service and in the event of an emergency or urgent medical issue, I will use a phone to call 911, go to the emergency department, or go to an urgent care.
To maintain my privacy, I will not share telemedicine login information or video conferencing links with anyone unauthorized to attend the appointment.

TELEPHONE CONSULTATION CONSENT
I understand that the practitioner / the practice may allow telephone consultations - verbal conversation only / no video.  I understand that these consultations have considerable limitations, including but not limited to no physical exam or visual assessment. I understand that my practitioner, during the telephone consultation, may determine that adequate care and treatment will not be possible with the limited assessment via telephone consultation. I agree to follow through with them on any required in-person office visits or video telehealth visits. I consent to receive instructions via phone/telemedicine platform and take full responsibility to follow through with specific instructions as required for my treatment. I have had the opportunity to discuss the limitations with my practitioner.

EMAIL USE CONSENT
The preferred method of communication is via HIPPA-compliant Patient Portal. However, the practitioner / the practice provides patients with the opportunity to communicate by e-mail. Transmitting confidential health information by e-mail, however, has a number of risks: E-mail can be immediately broadcast worldwide and be received by many intended and unintended recipients; recipients can forward e-mail messages to other recipients without the original sender(s) permission or knowledge; users can easily copy information.
It is the policy of the practitioner / practice that all e-mail messages sent or received which concern the diagnosis or treatment of a patient will be a part of the patient’s protected personal health information. The practice cannot guarantee the security and confidentiality of e-mail or internet communication.
Patients may consent to the use of e-mail for confidential medical information after having been informed of the above risks with the following conditions: All e-mails to or from patients concerning diagnosis and/or treatment will be made part of the protected personal health information. As a part of the protected personal health information, other individuals, insurance coordinators and, upon written authorization, other healthcare practitioners and insurers will have access to e-mail messages contained in protected personal health information.
The practitioner / practice will endeavor to read e-mail promptly. However, the practice can provide no assurance that the e-mail will be read immediately. Therefore, e-mail must never be used in a medical emergency.
Because some medical information is so sensitive that unauthorized disclosure can be damaging, e-mail should not be used for communications concerning diagnosis or treatment of any sexually transmittable or communicable diseases such as syphilis, gonorrhea, and the like; behavioral health, mental health; or alcohol and drug abuse.
The practitioner / practice cannot guarantee that electronic communications will be private. The practitioner / practice is not liable for improper disclosure of confidential information not caused by its employee’s gross negligence or wanton misconduct and is not liable for breaches of confidentiality caused by the patient.
I understand that my consent to the use of e-mail may be withdrawn at any time, whether it be by e-mail or written communication to the practitioner / practice. I have read this form carefully and understand the risks and responsibility associated with the use of e-mail. I agree to assume all risks associated with the use of e-mail

TEXT MESSAGING CONSENT
The practitioner / practice may need to use my name, address, phone number, and my clinical records to contact me with appointment reminders/text message, information about treatment alternatives or other health related information that may be of interest to me. If this contact is made by phone and I am not available, a message will be left on my answering machine or with the person answering the phone.
Message and data rates may apply and message frequency may vary. You can contact the practice at any point to request that your mobile number not be used for messaging. You can text HELP for support or more information and STOP to unsubscribe from text messages at any time. If you unsubscribe, you will no longer get appointment reminder messages. Your phone number will not be shared with third parties for marketing or promotional purposes.
By signing this form, I am giving the practice the authorization to contact me with these reminders and information and to leave a message on my answering machine or with individuals at my home or place of employment.
CLINICAL DOCUMENTATION TECHNOLOGY
Ikigai Family Physician uses ambient note-taking technology to enhance clinical documentation and improve the quality of care. This technology securely captures and transcribes portions of the clinical conversation to assist the practitioner in creating accurate medical records. At times practitioner may recommend taking photographs for clinical documentation. These will be loaded into the electronic medical record. Participation is voluntary and you may decline at any time and this will not affect your care or access to services. By signing this agreement you consent to use during clinical visits and understand your rights and how your information is protected. 

HOLD HARMLESS 
Member agrees not to hold Ikigai Family Physician or our practitioner liable for any loss, injury, damages or expenses beyond Ikigai Family Physician’s or practitioner’s control related to technical failure of the Ikigai Family Physician website, email, or other electronic services, including but not limited to: power outages, faulty cellular, cable, or WiFi service, failure due to internet service practitioner caused by power outages, failure to properly address email messages, interception of communications by a 3rd party, or Member’s failure to follow Ikigai Family Physician’s recommendations regarding electronic communications in this agreement.
 

OFFICE APPOINTMENTS
The Ikigai Family Physician office is located at 200 Valle Alto Dr NE, Rio Rancho, NM 87124. The office will be open primarily Monday-Thursday from 8:30am-3:30pm. Visits are by appointment only. Online scheduling is available. If there are no open appointments online, a brief phone call or text can secure a timely appointment. 

RESPONDING TO MEMBER
Phone calls to Ikigai Family Physician will be answered by Dr. Riniker whenever possible. As she is also providing patient care, she may not be able to immediately answer your call, but she will return your call within 24 hours as long as you leave a message, except in case of emergencies or unavoidable circumstances. If it is urgent, send a text message, or call again. Emails from Member will typically receive a response within 48 hours, though often much sooner. If Member does not receive a response to email within 48 hours, the member should make a phone call or use another means of communication.

ALTERNATE PRACTITIONER
Member understands that the practitioner may be unavailable at times due to patient care, personal illness, injury, emergencies, or other obligations. Ikigai Family Physician will make reasonable attempts to provide alternative coverage in the event of the practitioner’s absence. Should the practitioner anticipate that they will be unavailable for more than 3 consecutive business days, Ikigai Family Physician will send out an email to inform patients of this planned absence.  Ikigai Family Physician may use other medical practitioners, nurses, medical assistants and other staff to assist in providing care. All such personnel will be bound by this Membership Agreement.

RELEASE OF INFORMATION
I may restrict the individuals or organizations to which your health care information is released or I may revoke your authorization at any time: however, this revocation must be in writing and mailed to the office address. The practice will not be able to honor my revocation request if they have already released my health information before the request to revoke authorization. In addition, if I was required to give my authorization as a condition of obtaining insurance, the insurance company may have a right to your health information if they decide to contest any of your claims.
Information that the practice may use or disclose based on the authorization I am giving may be subject to re-disclosure by anyone who has access to the reminder or other information and may no longer be protected by the federal privacy rules. I have the right to refuse to give us this authorization. If I do not give authorization, it will not affect the treatment I receive or the methods used to obtain reimbursement for my care.
I may inspect or copy the information that is used to contact me to provide appointment reminders, information about treatment alternatives, or other health information at any time.
This notice is effective on the date of signature. This authorization will expire seven years after the date on which I last receive services from the practice.
I authorize you to use or disclose my health information in the manner described above. I acknowledge that I have received a copy of this authorization.
