Signatures where you can’t see the document- how are they binding?
This is one of my biggest pet peeves at medical facilities. You go and the person at check in just says, I need you to sign for consent to treat, and you’re expected to sign on a little screen that has zero reference to what you’re signing. I’m always a pain in the butt and ask for the form to be printed, they then ask me to sign on screen and I tell them I will only sign the paper document. One time I canceled the appointment at the time as the consent to treat said that I would pay even if the claim was denied due to practice error.
How is this legal / why haven’t there been a bunch of class action suits against MyChart and other groups that use this technology?
