If we agree to your request, we may still share this information in the event that you need emergency treatment.

  • Biographical and demographic information, such as  your age and gender, to the extent related to your physical or mental health status, diagnosis, or treatment. 
  • Individual health conditions, treatment plans, and diagnoses, such as the results of your depression screening questionnaire, progress notes, and copy of your emotional support animal (ESA) letter.

  2. Pettable Services and Platformsome text
    1. Pettable Services and the Platform. Pettable has developed a network of licensed mental health professionals and facilitates your access to a provider in this network to determine whether you qualify for an Emotional Support Animal (“ESA”) letter or a Psychiatric Service Dog (“PSD”) letter and, if so, to provide you with one of these letters. The licensed mental health professionals in the Pettable Network (each a “Network Provider”) provide telehealth services, which may include assessment, diagnosis, therapy, follow-up and/or education, teletherapy, consultation, treatment, transfer of personal and health information, emails, telephone conversations and education using interactive audio, video and data communications, as applicable (“Telehealth Services”). Pettable also offers to you the ability to access certain on demand veterinary services through the Pettable Platform or by calling into the veterinary assistance helpline (the “Veterinary Helpline”) at 833-849-9559  for your ESA or PSD (“Veterinary Services”). After contacting the Veterinary Helpline you will receive assistance and advice from a veterinary nurse or veterinarian (“Veterinary Provider”). If the Veterinary Provider determines that video support or additional documentation such as pictures of your PSD or ESA, such portion of the Veterinary Services will be provided either through the Pettable Platform or your Veterinary Provider may provide you with an individual link to access the video conference or to upload images or videos requested by the Veterinary Provider. After collecting intake information from you, Pettable will facilitate your access to one of our Network Providers and provide administrative services to assist with and manage this relationship (“Administrative Services”). Administrative Services, Telehealth Services, and Veterinary Services are collectively referred to as the “Pettable Services”. 
    2. Veterinary Services. Veterinary Services may be made available to you at an additional cost and cannot be purchased as a standalone service without the purchase of Telehealth Services and Administrative Services. Payment for the Veterinary Services shall be made in accordance with Section 8 of this Agreement. You may purchase the additional Veterinary Services at any time through our website or during your initial registration process.  You acknowledge that (a) Veterinary Services will be provided remotely, and (b) that the Veterinary Provider may be located outside of the United States and does not provide medical, behavioral health, or health advice or diagnoses.

When applicable, Pettable will use and disclose PHI only in accordance with any such business associate agreements and HIPAA.  We may de-identify your Personal Information so that it no longer reasonably identifies you.

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET OUT IN SECTION 12.2 (Pettable Representations and Warranties), THE PETTABLE SERVICES, PETTABLE PLATFORM, AND ALL PETTABLE PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, AND PETTABLE HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ORAL OR WRITTEN, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, QUIET ENJOYMENT, ACCURACY, INTEGRATION, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND ALL WARRANTIES ARISING FROM ANY COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, OR USAGE OF TRADE.  THE FOREGOING DOES NOT AFFECT WARRANTIES THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.
  13. Additional Disclaimers. some text

Any medical advice or treatment you receive in connection with the Pettable Services is provided by our Network Providers. Always seek professional medical advice regarding a medical or mental health condition or treatment.  
    2. No Therapist – Patient Relationship. All information provided by Pettable is intended to be for general informational purposes only, and is in no way intended to create a therapist – patient relationship as defined by state and federal law.  While Pettable facilitates your selection of, communications with and other interactions with Network Providers, Pettable does not provide professional services and the therapist-patient relationship is between you and the therapy provider you select. Pettable shall not be liable for any professional advice obtained from a Network Provider or for any other information obtained on the Pettable Platform. Pettable receive a fee from Network Providers for use of the Platform and technology and various other services. However, this does not imply endorsement of a particular Network Provider.  Pettable shall not be liable for negligent credentialing or the negligence of any Network Provider.  Pettable does not endorse any specific tests, providers, therapies, products or procedures that are recommended by Network Providers. You acknowledge that your reliance on any healthcare providers or information provided by the Network Providers is solely at your own risk and you assume full responsibility for all risk associated herewith.  The content of the site and the services, including without limitation, text, copy, audio, video, photographs, illustrations, graphics and other visuals, is for informational purposes only and does not constitute professional medical or behavioral health advice, diagnosis, treatment or recommendations of any kind. You should always seek the advice of your qualified heath care professionals with any questions or concerns you may have regarding your individual needs and any medical or behavioral health conditions.  We do not guarantee that any person’s use of the Pettable Platform is the appropriate course of treatment for any individual’s particular health care problem. 
    3. Not an Emergency-Monitoring Service or Crisis Service. Pettable is not an emergency-response, emergency-monitoring service, or crisis service. Any person who is aware of an emergency situation should immediately contact an appropriate emergency response or dial “911”.  Any person who is feeling suicidal or in need of immediate assistance due to emotional crisis should reach out for help to a crisis help line. A list of crisis help lines and service providers can be found in your phone book, or contact the National Suicide Hotline 800-273-TALK (800-273-8255).  If you are in crisis, contact the above organizations or another resource of your choice.  If you need help finding mental health services and support in your community contact an appropriate organization, such as for example: National Mental Health Association Information Center: nmha.org. 
    4. No Assurances of Acceptance. Except as expressly provided in Section 15 (Refund), Pettable does not guarantee that a landlord, airline, or other third party will follow the requirements set by state and/or federal laws and regulations that govern ESAs and PSDs, or will accept your ESA/PSD Letter.  Even though a person may have an ESA/PSD Letter from a Network Provider, this in no way guarantees that the person will qualify as “disabled” under federal or state law, or receive any particular accommodation by any airline, hotel, restaurant owner, or any other company or individual. An ESA is not a “service dog” as defined by law and may not necessarily be accorded the same level of accommodation.  
    5. PSD Training Course and Pettable Academy Courses.  Pettable offers the PSD Training Course as a tool to educate you about PSDs and to assist you in training your PSD and offers additional self-guided dog training through Pettable Academy Courses; however, Pettable is not responsible for training any Animal Companion as a PSD or for otherwise training or assisting you with training any dog.  If you purchase the Pettable Academy Courses, you acknowledge, agree, and understand that the Pettable Academy Courses are self-guided and that the success of those Pettable Academy Courses is contingent on your own effort to complete the Pettable Academy Courses and to follow and adhere to the instructions and information provided therein (including any personalized training recommendations that may result from live support sessions).  The PSD Course Completion Certificate issued upon your completion of the PSD Training Course does not certify or guarantee that your Animal Companion qualifies as a PSD; rather, it solely certifies your completion of the PSD Training Course offered by Pettable.  Similarly, the Pettable Academy Completion Certificate issued upon your completion of the Pettable Academy Courses do not certify or guarantee anything about your dog other than the fact that you and your dog completed such Pettable Academy Courses.  Pettable is not responsible for any damages caused by your Animal Companion in public or private spaces or for the behavior of your Animal Companion before or after you complete the PSD Training Course or Pettable Academy Courses and receive a PSD Course Completion Certificate or Pettable Academy Completion Certificate.  The PSD Course Completion Certificate and Pettable Academy Completion Certificate do not provide protection against liability for misconduct by your Animal Companion.
    6. Animal Companion. Without limiting Section 12.3 (Disclaimer of Warranties), Pettable is not responsible for the training, temperament, or qualification of any Animal Companion as a service animal.  Pettable is not responsible for any damages caused by the Animal Companion in public or private spaces. An ESA/PSD letter does not provide protection against liability for misconduct by the Animal Companion. 
    7. Legal Disclaimer.  Pettable is not a lawyer or a law firm and does not provide any legal advice. The Pettable Platform neither offers nor constitutes legal advice or counsel. The Pettable Platform may contain content (such as the PSD Training Course and Pettable Academy Courses) that references federal, state and local rules regarding assistance animals and/or telehealth. Pettable does not make any representations or warranties as to the accuracy or applicability of this content. Laws, regulations, guidelines and other rules regarding ESAs, PSDs, assistance animals and telehealth are constantly evolving and subject to interpretation, and Pettable makes no representations or guarantees as to whether any information on the Pettable Platform is current, complete, accurate or relevant or that the Telehealth Services comply with applicable local, state and/or federal laws. Content on the Pettable Platform is not regularly updated. You should not rely on any content on the Pettable Platform for any advice, guidance or information of a legal nature. To answer legal questions, you should always seek help from a licensed professional or directly reference the latest federal, state or local rules applicable to your circumstance. Pettable makes no representation that any ESA/PSD Letter provided by a Network Provider or Telehealth Services comply with applicable local, state or federal laws.  
  14. Indemnification. You shall defend and indemnify us against any third party claim, action, suit, or proceeding resulting from your use of the Pettable Services in a manner not expressly authorized by this Agreement.

I understand that Pettable will provide administrative services to facilitate connecting me with a licensed mental health professional (“the LMHP”) via our online platform to provide behavioral healthcare, including assessment, diagnosis, therapy, follow-up and/or education teletherapy includes consultation, treatment, transfer of  personal and health information, emails, telephone conversations and education using interactive audio,  video and data communications (“Telehealth”). Telehealth involves the use of electronic communications.  I hereby consent to engage in Telehealth services with my LMHP.  I understand that my LMHP is an independent contractor and is not employed by Pettable.  My LMHP may require me to execute an additional informed consent prior to engaging in Telehealth.

I understand that the expected benefits of Telehealth are improved access to behavioral health care enabling me to  remain at a remote site while the LMHP is at a distant site, more efficient evaluation and management and obtaining the expertise of a distant LMHP who is licensed in the state where I reside. 

I understand that I have a right to confidentiality with Telehealth under the same laws that protect the confidentiality of my personal and health information for in-person behavioral health services. Any information disclosed by me during the course of my remote Telehealth, therefore, is generally confidential to the extent provided by law. 

As with any medical care, there are potential risks associated with the use of Telehealth. These risks  include, but may not be limited to: (a) in rare cases, information transmitted may not be sufficient (e.g. poor resolution of images) to allow for appropriate professional decision making by the LMHP; (b) delays in evaluation and treatment could occur due to deficiencies or failures of the equipment; and (c) the possibility of disruption, distortion or unauthorized access during transmission of personal information due to internet/electronic/technical failures beyond the control of Pettable and my LMHP. 

By signing this form, I understand the following: 

  1. I understand that Telehealth is the use of electronic communication technologies by a health and/or therapeutic provider to deliver services to an individual when he/she is located at a different site than the provider; and hereby consent to the LMHP to provide mental and social services to me via Telehealth. 
  2. I understand that I may be required to have certain system requirements to access electronic Telehealth services via the method chosen. I understand that I am solely responsible for any cost to obtain  any additional/necessary system requirements, accessories, or software to use tele-behavioral health  services. 
  3. I understand that I have the right to withhold or withdraw my consent to the use of Telehealth by  the LMHP at any time, without affecting my right to future care or treatment. 
  4. I understand that a variety of alternative methods of health care may be available to me, and that I  may choose one or more of these at any time. 
  5. I represent and warrant that all required information I provided to Pettable and the LMHP is truthful and accurate, and that I will maintain the accuracy of such information.
  6. I understand that there are, by law, exceptions to confidentiality by a LMHP including, but not limited to, reporting child, elder and dependent adult abuse; expressed threats of violence toward an ascertainable victim; my own mental or emotional state informing a clear danger to myself or others; where I make my mental or emotional state an issue in a legal proceeding; where otherwise required by law.
  7. I understand that I am solely responsible for the privacy and confidentiality in my surrounding environment while engaged in telehealth and will exercise appropriate privacy measures. 
  8. I agree that if it becomes clear to the LMHP, in his or her sole professional opinion, that the  Telehealth modality is unable to provide all pertinent clinical information during the Telehealth encounter,  the LMHP will advise me prior to the conclusion of the live Telehealth encounter and will advise me  regarding the need for me to obtain an additional in-person evaluation reasonably able to meet my needs  and may make a referral to a LMHP in my area.
  9. I understand that I have a duty to inform my LMHP of electronic interactions regarding my care  that I may have with other healthcare providers. 
  10. I understand that Telehealth services may not be as complete as face-to-face services. 
  11. I understand that there are potential risks and benefits associated with any form of treatment, and  despite my efforts and the efforts of my LMHP, my condition may not improve, and in some cases may  even get worse. 
  12. I have been given an opportunity to select a LMHP prior to the consult, including a review of the consulting provider’s credentials.
  13. I understand there is a risk of technical failures during the Telehealth encounter beyond the control of Pettable or my LMHP. I agree to hold harmless Pettable and my LHMP for delays in evaluation or for information lost due to such technical failures.
  14. I understand that if I am experiencing a medical emergency or a crisis, that should dial 9-1-1 or contact the National Suicide Hotline 800-273-TALK (800-273-8255), as appropriate, immediately and that Pettable is not able to connect me directly to any local emergency services or crisis hotline.
  15. I understand that Pettable does not guarantee that your LMHP will issue an Emotional Support Animal letter or that a landlord, airline , or other third party will accept your ESA Letter.  
  16. I understand that my healthcare information may be shared with other individuals for scheduling and billing purposes.

I have read and understand the information provided above regarding teletherapy and all of my questions  have been answered to my satisfaction. By clicking the “I AGREE” button and typing my name at the  bottom of this page, I am authorizing the LMHP to whom Pettable facilitates a connection to assess my mental health via Telehealth and  confirming my agreement and understanding of the statements above. I hereby give my informed consent  and authorization for my LHMP to use Telehealth in my healthcare. 

I agree that a copy of this form may be treated as a signed original.
