Quick Facts — Service Agreement Lawyers

What is Telehealth Services Agreement Drafting?

A telehealth services agreement is a contract that specifies terms and conditions for delivering healthcare remotely. Some activities that might be included in this agreement include virtual healthcare consultations.

If you need to draft a telehealth services agreement, you might wonder how to navigate the process.

Read on for clarity about the information to include in a telehealth services agreement, how to draft it, and when to hire a qualified lawyer for help with the telehealth services agreement drafting process.

What are Key Terms to Include in a Telehealth Services Agreement?

Your telehealth services agreement should include the following essential terms:

  • Services scope. The specific medical and healthcare services that will be offered must be included.
  • Technical specifications. This includes information about the devices or software required to use the telehealth services.
  • Confidentiality. Since video or phone consultations will be included, there must be provisions for how to keep information private.
  • Payments. This explains how fees are paid.
  • Informed consent. The patients must understand all the benefits and risks of remote healthcare.
  • Service Level Agreement (SLA). There must be quality control for system maintenance and uptime to encourage patient confidence in the services.
  • Term. The agreement should include the effective start date when the agreement begins and how long it will last.
  • Termination. This specifies how parties can end the agreement.

What are Tips for Telehealth Services Agreement Drafting?

Writing a telehealth services agreement requires details and clarity to prevent privacy violations and other legal disputes. Here’s what to consider during the contract-drafting process.

Provide Healthcare Obligations

The agreement must include information about the healthcare company’s responsibilities, such as that they have control over all services provided to the patient and all treatments that will be offered, as long as they are aligned with relevant laws.

Safeguard Privacy

The agreement should explain how personal health information is going to be gathered, stored, and used during its term. Privacy and confidentiality provisions must be compliant with all relevant laws. Be specific about what activities require privacy rules, such as how consultations and sharing information is handled.

Mention Technology Requirements

Since telehealth services will be conducted online, there are tech requirements that must be met. This can include the patient using specific devices and software to use the services. It should be stated that it’s the patient’s responsibility to have stable technology that works.

Detail Payment Terms

The telehealth services agreement must include payment terms that are clearly defined and specific. They should include consultation fees, payment deadlines, and how cancellations can be refunded. By being comprehensive with payment terms, the agreement will prevent ambiguity that can lead to disputes.

Include the Jurisdiction

Consider where the healthcare provider is licensed to practice and relevant laws that rule the agreement. This will ensure your terms are clear and legally sound to protect you against legal disputes.

Explain Details for Patients

The patients using the services must be informed of how the services will work, their benefits and limitations, and any potential risks. This will protect the company against claims and disputes, while ensuring transparency between parties.

Should You Hire a Lawyer for a Telehealth Services Agreement?

Although you can draft a telehealth services agreement, you should consider working with a qualified lawyer so that the contract is clear, fair, and legally sound.

A lawyer can help you in various ways, such as by:

  • Using their legal knowledge to keep the agreement compliant with all relevant healthcare laws.
  • Clearly defining the services scope, along with any limitations.
  • Addressing licensing requirements. A lawyer will check that all terms reflect the healthcare provider’s licensing duties and consider what happens if they’re practicing across jurisdictions.
  • Protecting patient privacy, such as by including data security and confidentiality provisions.
  • Allocating responsibilities correctly so that all rights and obligations are properly defined. This lowers the risk of vague expectations and misunderstandings.
  • Setting payment terms that are fair and comprehensive, such as by considering what happens with missed payments.
  • Resolving disputes between parties with strong clauses for how conflict must be handled.
  • Customizing the agreement terms according to the type of telehealth practice. They will strive to reflect the healthcare provider’s services and business model.
  • Reviewing a telehealth services agreement that you’ve already drafted, giving you peace of mind that it’s clear, reasonable, and protects your interests.

Where to Find a Lawyer for Telehealth Services Agreement Drafting

It’s not always easy to find the right lawyer for your legal requirements. This is why using an online legal platform can assist you. It gives you quick access to a range of qualified lawyers in your area who are experienced in contract drafting and review.

Principal Attorney
Free Consultation
Chicago, Illinois
16 Yrs Experience
Licensed in IL
DePaul University College of Law

My name is Ryenne Shaw and I help business owners build businesses that operate as assets instead of liabilities, increase in value over time and build wealth. My areas of expertise include corporate formation and business structure, contract law, employment/labor law, business risk and compliance and intellectual property. I also serve as outside general counsel to several businesses across various industries nationally. I spent most of my early legal career assisting C.E.O.s, General Counsel, and in-house legal counsel of both large and smaller corporations in minimizing liability, protecting business assets and maximizing profits. While working with many of these entities, I realized that smaller entities are often underserved. I saw that smaller business owners weren’t receiving the same level of legal support larger corporations relied upon to grow and sustain. I knew this was a major contributor to the ceiling that most small businesses hit before they’ve even scratched the surface of their potential. And I knew at that moment that all of this lack of knowledge and support was creating a huge wealth gap. After over ten years of legal experience, I started my law firm to provide the legal support small to mid-sized business owners and entrepreneurs need to grow and protect their brands, businesses, and assets. I have a passion for helping small to mid-sized businesses and startups grow into wealth-building assets by leveraging the same legal strategies large corporations have used for years to create real wealth. I enjoy connecting with my clients, learning about their visions and identifying ways to protect and maximize the reach, value and impact of their businesses. I am a strong legal writer with extensive litigation experience, including both federal and state (and administratively), which brings another element to every contract I prepare and the overall counsel and value I provide. Some of my recent projects include: - Negotiating & Drafting Commercial Lease Agreements - Drafting Trademark Licensing Agreements - Drafting Ambassador and Influencer Agreements - Drafting Collaboration Agreements - Drafting Service Agreements for service-providers, coaches and consultants - Drafting Master Service Agreements and SOWs - Drafting Terms of Service and Privacy Policies - Preparing policies and procedures for businesses in highly regulated industries - Drafting Employee Handbooks, Standard Operations and Procedures (SOPs) manuals, employment agreements - Creating Employer-employee infrastructure to ensure business compliance with employment and labor laws - Drafting Independent Contractor Agreements and Non-Disclosure/Non-Competition/Non-Solicitation Agreements - Conducting Federal Trademark Searches and filing trademark applications - Preparing Trademark Opinion Letters after conducting appropriate legal research - Drafting Letters of Opinion for Small Business Loans - Drafting and Responding to Cease and Desist Letters I service clients throughout the United States across a broad range of industries.

I represent a diverse mix in a vast array of specialties, including litigation, contracts, compliance, business and financial strategies, and emerging industries. Credit for this foundation of strength goes to those who taught me. Skilled professors and professionals fostered my powerful educational and professional background. Prior to law school, I earned dual Bachelor’s degrees in Business Administration & Accounting from Peru State College. I received a Master of Business Administration degree from Chadron State College. My ambitions did not stop there. While working full time as a Senior Accountant for the University of Missouri, Columbia, I achieved the lifelong goal of becoming a licensed Certified Public Accountant (CPA). Mizzo provided excellent opportunities and amazing experiences. Managing over $50M in government and private research funding was a gift. As a high ranking professional in the Department of Research, I was given priceless insight into the greatest scientific, journalistic, medical, and legal minds in the world. My passion for successful growth did not, and has not stopped. I graduated summa cum laude (top 3%) with a Doctorate in Law, emphasizing in urban, land use and environmental/toxic tort law from the University of Missouri, Kansas City. This success lead to invaluable experiences of serving as Hon. Brian C. Wimes' judicial clerk for the U.S. District Court for the W. D. of Missouri, as a staff editor/writer for UMKC Law Review, and as a litigation and transactional attorney with Lathrop GPM (fka Lathrop & Gage). My professional and personal network is expansive, with established relationships throughout the U.S. and overseas. Although I engage in legal practice all over the country, I maintain law licenses in Missouri, Kansas, and Nebraska. Federally, I hold licenses in the W.D. and E.D. of Missouri and the District of Nebraska. To offer extra value, efficiency, and options, I maintain a CPA license and am obtaining a real-estate brokerage license.

"I contacted Parachini Law after I had sent multiple unanswered information requests a third party. Mark not only send out a record request to the address specified, but also sent out additional requests at other possible business addresses to ensure the request was received. As a result, I finally received the information I was looking for. The firm was very professional to work with."
