Medication Management

This agreement between the patient, Dr Saya and Defy Medical establishes guidelines and conditions required for the use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and general primary care involving DEA controlled or scheduled medications. Dr. Saya and the patient agrees that these guidelines and conditions are an essential factor in maintaining a successful patient/practitioner relationship. Adverse side effects and/or physical/psychological dependence may develop after repeated use of these medications and therefore, are prescribed with caution.

The patient accepts and agrees to the following conditions:

I understand that the medication(s) I have purchased are prescribed for me based on diagnosis derived from my submitted medical history, lab work, and physical exam. They are to be based exclusively for treatment of these diagnoses.
I will immediately report any adverse side effects related to the use of my medication to Defy Medical and discontinue use until advised to resume usage.
I will safeguard my medications from loss or theft.
I will not share, sell or trade my medication for money, goods or services.
I agree that I will use my medication at the prescribed rate and dosage and will keep the medications in its respected labeled container.
I will not attempt to obtain scheduled HRT medications illegally or from any other health care practitioner without disclosing my current medication usage. I understand that it is against the law to do so.

Clinical Procedures

The number of patients we see is limited by appointment only. Missed appointments cause additional expense and inconvenience other patients. In-Office and Tele-med appointments that are cancelled less than 24 hours in advance may be subject to pay the full cost of the consult fee. Patients who do not show up to their appointment (In-office or Tele-med) without prior notification will be subject to pay the full cost of the consult fee. All fees must be paid in full before the patient’s next appointment.

Most health insurance companies typically do not provide coverage for medically monitored weight-loss and Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy. Therefore, we do not take any form of payment from third party companies and all services must be paid for at the time the services are rendered by cash, check or credit card.

I understand that if I choose to file a claim with a third-party insurance, Defy Medical will provide receipts of transaction but should not be expected to take further action.
If my treatment includes prescription medications (hormones, appetite suppressants) I will carefully follow instructions given and notify the Practitioner of any change in my medical history (esp. for heart or blood pressure problems) and not resell the medication nor will I share it with any friend or family member, EVER. I will not visit other Practitioners for the purpose of obtaining additional or duplicate medication of the same type.
I understand any treatments rendered through Defy Medical are solely for the purpose of hormone balancing/restoration, body-fat reduction, and preventative medicine. We are not capable of serving as your primary care facility. If I become ill, I should contact my personal Practitioner or visit an urgent care facility. If I become ill, I will discontinue any diet or weight loss medication from this clinic until it is determined safe to resume.
I will consult my primary care Practitioner and/or endocrinologist to encourage and facilitate Practitioner communication regarding my treatments.
I understand I will not be refunded for any lab orders or appointments once the service is provided, even if I do not qualify for any treatment.
I understand I will not receive a refund for any medications or supplies once they are dispensed from the pharmacy. Once medications leave the pharmacy, they cannot be returned.
I understand I will only receive a prescription when medically necessary and that I do not automatically qualify for Testosterone Therapy upon my initial assessment. Obtaining a prescription is always at the discretion of the Practitioner and is determined based on medical assessment and a diagnosis.
I understand that all medication refill requests must first be reviewed and approved by the Practitioner. The patient MUST be in compliance with the practitioner’s treatment plan; including blood work, physical exams and consultations, in order to receive refills. A follow up appointment may be required prior to approving medication refills.
I understand that restoring and balancing hormones accurately requires follow up blood work and monitoring. These follow ups may require additional cost for the patient. If I fail to complete requested follow-ups, I understand that my Practitioner at his/her discretion, will discontinue my therapy until requested follow-up is completed.
I have been advised and do understand all the risks and possible complications of BHRT, as well as noncompliance with the Practitioner’s recommended dosage. I further agree to administer all medications as directed by the Practitioner.
I agree to immediately report to the Practitioner any adverse reactions or problems, of whatever nature, whether said matters relate to BHRT treatment or not.
I understand that if I am an out of state patient, I will provide current and updated Physical exams annually or as otherwise requested, to continue treatment.
I understand that NO PRESCRIPTION WILL BE PROVIDED UNLESS A CLINICAL NEED EXISTS BASED ON REQUIRED LAB WORK, PRACTITIONER CONSULTATION, PHYSICAL EXAMINATION AND/OR CURRENT MEDICAL HISTORY. PLEASE NOTE, AGREEING TO LAB WORK AND PHYSICAL EXAM DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY EQUATE TO CLINICAL NECESSITY AND A PRESCRIPTION.
I request and consent to the administration of BHRT and /or nutritional supplements by the Practitioners of Defy Medical for the purpose of restoring optimal levels, even where lab test results are within reference ranges for age and/or in circumstances where other medical organizations do not recommend the same.
MEN ONLY: I do not hold any medical practitioner of Defy Medical responsible for performing prostate cancer screening, PSA tests and/or rectal exams. I will consult with my primary care Practitioner or urologist about them and provide all appropriate medical records and/or facilitate inter-Practitioner communication regarding such evaluations. I understand a decision about treatment may depend on this information.

Refunds are only permitted prior to submission of specimens for testing. Lab orders are not eligible for a credit or refund solely because of the results.

Within ninety (90) days of purchase, a refund can be issued using the original payment method.

Required Hormone (HRT) Follow Up Evaluations

One of the purposes behind drawing blood for analysis is to provide our physician a means to compare how you are responding to therapy with your hormone blood levels and other important health indicators. This information allows our medical providers to make appropriate adjustments to your regimen that not only improve how you are feeling but minimize any side effects and risks with treatment. The laboratory analysis of your blood will also provide a comparison with initial blood work and provide data that will aid in the development of your treatment plan.

HRT Follow-up Blood Work

We strive to go beyond the minimum recommendations for monitoring every type of hormone replacement. All important tests needed to monitor men and women being prescribed hormones are completed at least twice per year and as needed based upon the individual’s response to treatment.

Pharmacy & Prescription Hormone Medication

Defy Medical prescribes a variety of medications as appropriate for the patient. Our prescription management is included in the overall cost of care. We prescribe medications from pharmacies that meet high standards, follow USP and Good Manufacturing Practices, and utilize FDA-approved active ingredients.

Defy Medical does not send prescriptions for controlled substances across state lines (i.e. fax or call in prescriptions for testosterone to retail pharmacies in other states). Controlled substances require additional steps to be taken by the doctor when prescribing to patients located in a different state. All forms of Testosterone are a controlled substance in every US state.

Patient Compliance

Patients have a responsibility to adhere to requirements and protocols to receive the most effective care. Defy Medical reserves the right to withhold Services to patients who do not or will not meet compliance requirements. The patient compliance requirements in these Terms may be changed, extended, or waived by the Medical Director under circumstances such as the COVID19 pandemic as a whole or on a case by case basis at their discretion.

You agree to provide a valid, signed physical examination form for Defy Medical to include in your patient account at least once every 12 months or as documented by a Defy Medical provider in your treatment plan.

You agree to consult with a Defy Medical provider at least once every 6 months, or as documented by a Defy Medical provider in your treatment plan.

You agree to have any necessary or required lab testing performed as required by Defy Medical at least once every 6 months or as documented by a Defy Medical provider in your treatment plan.

You agree to refill and take any medications prescribed at the prescribed doses and frequencies as documented by a Defy Medical provider in your treatment plan.

You acknowledge that copies of emails sent from you or emails sent to you may be archived as a part of your patient account or medical record.
