Disclosures

UW TelePain case consultations do not create or otherwise establish a provider-patient relationship between any UW Medicine Health Care Professional and any patient whose case is being presented in these settings. A provider-patient relationship between a UW Medicine Health Care Professional and a patient whose case was presented at either setting may later be established if the patient is referred and seen in the context of a regular appointment with the UW Medicine Health Care Professional. That relationship would continue as to further care a patient might receive directly from that UW Medicine Health Professional; however, subsequent case presentations regarding that patient would not be part of a UW Medicine Health Care professional-patient relationship.
