  • Consent: Medical

  • CONSENT TO INFORMATION BEING SHARED:

    • I understand and agree that the practice issues invoices, statements and prescriptions that include diagnostic and/or procedural information such as procedural tariff codes and/or ICD10 codes, which indicates my diagnosis, according to legal requirements prescribed by Medical Schemes provided for in the Medical Schemes Act No. 131 of 1998. I understand that this means that if I submit invoices to my medical aid they will have access to the diagnostic and/or procedural information on the invoice. I understand that should I decide not to disclose my diagnosis to my Medical Aid, I should refrain from submitting such invoices, statements and prescriptions to my Medical Aid for claims purposes. I acknowledge that I am welcome to discuss my diagnoses and diagnosis code (ICD10 Code) with my doctor.

    • I understand and agree that if I am not the main member on my Medical Aid policy, submitting invoices and statements from the practice as mentioned above, it is possible that diagnostic and/or procedural information such as procedural tariff codes and/or ICD10 codes, which indicates my diagnosis, can be disclosed to the main member on my Medical Aid policy.

    • I understand and agree that diagnostic and procedural information (as well as any related photographs) related to my treatment may be utilised for practice statistical, research and/or teaching purposes. All such information will be dissociated from my personal patient information. Informed consent will be obtained by the practice if any of my information is required for clinical trials or research projects.

    • By providing my medical aid detail, I agree and authorise the practice to provide any information concerning my treatment at this practice, including but not limited to current conditions/comorbidities to my medical scheme, their managed healthcare organisation and/or their respective agents dealing with my treatment. Should any of the aforementioned parties also be my employer, then I understand that the information may also be available to my employer.

    CONSENT TO ALTERNATIVE, UNREGISTERED or COMPOUNDED TREATMENT:

    • I understand and agree that my doctor might prescribe a treatment for me that might be seen as alternative.  It might also not be registered for use in males or female in South Africa.  It might be so-called “off-label” medication, meaning that it is not used for the purpose that it was registered for.  The treatment might also be compounded by a compounding pharmacy according to a specific recipe prescribed by my doctor.  I am welcome to ask my doctor whether the suggested treatment is seen as conventional or alternative.  Conventional medication is always preferred, unless the patient only wants natural, herbal or bio-identical treatment or if there is no conventional/registered option available for the specific condition. I am welcome to ask questions about my prescribed treatment until I am satisfied that I have enough knowledge to make an informed decision about it.  My doctor will offer all available treatment plans for my condition and might make suggestions, but it is my right to accept or refuse any treatments. The employees of Dr Elna Rudolph and Associates Inc commit to not being offended if I ask questions and request more information.                 

    • I understand and agree that I should take medication exactly as it is prescribed by my doctor.  If I decide not to take certain treatments due to side-effects or for any other reason, I run the risk of serious complications, varying in severity, but can include cancer and death.  If I have difficulty taking my medication as prescribed, it is recommended that I rather contact my doctor.

    CONSENT TO TELEHEALTH (Where applicable):

    I acknowledge that some of the employees of Dr Elna Rudolph and Associates Inc are available for face to face consultations.  If, however, I decide to consult them via a telephonic or online appointment, I consent to the following:

    - I understand that this platform will be used to render healthcare services to me, and that the usual consent processes will be followed (i.e. I will be informed of my health status, as well as the benefits, risks and implications of the care). I understand that I can opt out of receiving care at any stage, but acknowledge that it may not be in my best interest and I therefore release the Practitioner from legal liable for such an opt-out.

    - There is no subscription required for using the electronic platform (Whereby.com or Healthspace.co.za), but I understand that I will carry my own costs of any infrastructure and/or running costs associated with such service being rendered e.g. the data used, the telephone and/or computer, etc.

    - The employee of Dr Elna Rudolph and Associates Inc may encourage me to present myself for a follow-up face-to-face consultation with themselves or at a healthcare facility close to me if he/she is in doubt that the telehealth consultation is in my best interest, provided that it would be safe for me, the Practitioner and others, to do so.

    - That I will be billed for a consultation at the rate set out in this document and updated every year on the 1st of March.

    - That my medical scheme may, or may not cover the costs of this care. I undertake to cover  the full amount.

    - To record-keeping of the session via an electronic medical record system.  (Please note: The Employees of Dr Dr Elna Rudolph and Associateds Inc cannot consult you online/telephonically if you do not consent to the use of the Healthspace electronic medical record system.) 

    - That the service may have limitations relating to technology, such as data- and internet failures (e.g. dropped calls or bad reception).

    - That, although the Practitioner will adhere to the existing rules relating to confidentiality:

    a. I understand that I must take the necessary precautions at home to ensure my confidentiality during telehealth service provision;

    b. I understand that, should I want a family member, caregiver, parent or other person to attend the session with me (in person or through a remote internet connection), I will provide my written consent to such attendance prior to the consultation. I understand that without this, should such a person be in attendance, the engagement may be cancelled or rescheduled;

Appointments that are missed and was not cancelled more than 24 hours in advance, will be charged at the full appointment fee.

    • Invoices: Your invoice might not be generated by the receptionist and might also not be generated immediately after your appointment - she will however receive your payment and supply you with a receipt at that time. You can expect to receive your invoice within one week of your consultation via email, but there might be exceptions to this due to circumstances beyond our control. Please contact us directly at accounts@MySexualHealth.co.za if you would like to get your invoice urgently. Keep in mind that you have up to four months to submit your invoice to your medical aid.

    Medical Aid:

    • Dr Elna Rudolph and Associates Inc does not submit invoices/statements for claims to medical aids on your behalf.  You will be responsible for lodging a claim with your medical aid, and the responsibility for such a claim does not lie with Dr. Elna Rudolph and Associates Inc. You will be invoiced directly and you can then claim back a portion of the fee from your medical aid according to your specific and available cover.

    • It is your responsibility to submit the invoice together with the proof of payment to your medical aid for them to reimburse you. Should your medical aid reimburse Dr Elna Rudolph and Associates Inc after you have settled your account with us, or there is a credit on your account for any reason whatsoever, that amount will stay in credit on your account. Should you require a refund for amounts credited to Dr Elna Rudolph and Associates Inc in excess of your outstanding balance with us, or your Medical Aid requested a refund from us, an administration fee of R50 will be charged to recover banking and administration fees. The onus remains on the patient to inform us of any payments that may have erroneously been paid into our account.

  • Appointment Arrangements:

  • • Please scan and email your medical aid card and ID to us at reception@mysexualhealth.co.za before your visit if you did not upload it onto your registration form. It is your responsibility to ensure we have your correct information and an up-to-date copy of your medical aid card and ID at all times. It is therefore your responsibility to update your personal information as soon as there is a change, and if you fail to provide us with the correct updated information Dr Elna Rudolph and Associates Inc will be indemnified against any damages should a breach of privacy occur

    • You must confirm your appointment with us at least 24 hours or more before the time via email at reception@mysexualhealth.co.za. If you do not confirm your appointment, it may be cancelled in order to accommodate a patient on our waiting list.  If you don't confirm, we will assume that you are still coming and you will be charged for that appointment.

    • You will receive an email from us stating the exact date, time and venue of your consultation, requesting you to confirm your appointment. If you did not received it, please insist on one. If there are any discrepancies between the email you received and what you were told at the time you made your appointment, please email reception@mysexualhealth.co.za or phone +27 61 302 5730 to clear up the discrepancies.  There is nothing more frustrating for you and for us than for you to show up at the wrong time or place!

    • Please let us know if you had any blood tests done recently, and obtain a copy of your results from the lab where the tests were done or from the doctor that first ordered the tests. Please make sure that you email these results to us before your appointment at reception@mysexualhealth.co.za. Please follow up with us the next day to make sure we received your results and uploaded them onto your profile to ensure the best use of your time during your appointment, especially if your tests were done at a lab other than Lancet. If you cannot email them, please bring them with you to your appointment.

    • We strongly advise that you have blood tests done before you see your doctor.  Please refer to the form “Blood Tests Required” to determine what the right tests will be for you.  Please note that if tests are ordered during your consultation, a separate Telephonic or Face-to-Face consultation must be scheduled to discuss the test results, which will be charged at the standard rates.  In some cases, where results are completely normal and no further actions are required, no follow-up consultation will be necessary.  Please note that we do not operate on the "no-news-is-good-news" principle.  We always inform patients of their test results.  If you do receive feedback from us within one week of sending in a sample, please contact the office to follow-up your results.  We will always inform you about normal results via email and schedule follow-up appointments to discuss abnormal results.

    • Should you be instructed to go for blood tests after your first appointment, and you decide not to use Lancet Laboratories, please phone our rooms after 3 days, or before your appointment (whichever is applicable) to check if we received your results and uploaded them onto your profile.

    • Arrive at least 10minutes before your appointment please if you have a face-to-face consultation. If you suspect that you might have an infection, please ask the receptionist for a disposable cup to provide a urine sample. 

    • We do respect your time and it is not our intention to keep you waiting, but it is sometimes unfortunately unavoidable.
