Tummy Vision Ultrasound Studio Waiver of Liability
Tummy Vision Ultrasound Studio understands the importance of proper prenatal medical care for both the expectant mother and the fetus. Therefore, in order to provide our patients with an appropriate, meaningful ultrasound screening, Tummy Vision Ultrasound requires that you:{i) certify that you are under the care of a physician or other health care provider, and that you are not obtaining this ultrasound as a replacement for, or in lieu of standard prenatal medical care.
As a further condition to receiving ultrasound services from Tummy Vision Ultrasound Studio, you hereby acknowledge, understand and agree to the following statements:
- This ultrasound: is an elective procedure that I have voluntarily requested, and is not intended to take the place of a diagnostic ultrasound or any other test or treatment that has been or may be recommended by your healthcare provider.
- The technician who performs this ultrasound, while qualified to provide such ultrasound services is not a doctor, nurse or healthcare provider; and cannot interpret, diagnose medical conditions from, or otherwise offer medical conclusions regarding the images produced. Any measurements given are estimates only and not intended for medical use or diagnosis.
- As used by Tummy Vision Ultrasound Studio, this ultrasound is intended to provide enhanced images for the purpose of viewing fetal movement in utero. The technician will make no attempt to guarantee a medically inclusive ultrasound or fetal well-being.
- You understand that you are responsible for contacting your own healthcare provider if you have any questions concerning this ultrasound or any other aspect of your pregnancy. Since we are elective, we do not share our images with healthcare providers.
- Although we try to get the best images possible please understand there are a number of factors outside of control which can reduce image quality. Some of these factors are: hydration level of mom (and amount of fluid in the amniotic sac), postion and mobility of baby and if something is blocking baby's face or gender such as a a hand or cord. It is for this reason we offer rescans or the option to purchase a rescan for $35.
- For 3D/4D Plus or Premium packages, pregnancy confirmation or gender, if our technician deems it necessary to schedule another appointment, ONE rescan appointment at no cost can be scheduled and must be agreed to by Tummy Vision and requested before you leave our studio. Gender rescans will normally be booked a week out. We do not offer free redo appointments for 3D/4D Basic packages.
- Rescan appointments will be scheduled on a Monday through Friday and at the availability of Tummy Vision and their staff. The Rescan appointment must be completed within two weeks of the orginal appointment or the orginal appointment price will be charged.
- If you are a no-show, cancel or reschedule your appointment to a later time within 4 businesshours of your appointment you will be charged a $35 cancellation fee. This includes "Rescan" appointments.
