FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
If you live out of town, you may email supplements@dramymyers.com and we will fill your order and mail
it to you within 48 hours.
Most physicians are trained to look only in specific places for the answers, using the same familiar labs or
diagnostic tests. Yet, many causes of illness cannot be found in these places. The usual tests do not look
for food allergies, hidden infections, environmental toxins, mold exposures, nutritional deficiencies and
metabolic imbalances. New gene testing can uncover underlying genetic predispositions that can be
modified through diet, lifestyle, supplements or medications.
At Austin UltraHealth, on the other hand, we use innovative testing to help patients prevent illness and
recover from many chronic and difficult-to-treat conditions. Dr. Myers is skilled in evaluating, assessing
and treating chronic problems such as fibromyalgia, fatigue syndromes, autoimmune diseases,
inflammatory disorders, mood and behavior disorders, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), seasonal allergies,
and other chronic, complex conditions. Dr. Myers also focuses on the prevention and treatment of heart
disease, diabetes, dementia, hormonal imbalances and digestive disorders.

INFORMED CONSENT REGARDING E-MAIL OR THE INTERNET USE OF PROTECTED PERSONAL
INFORMATION
Austin UltraHealth provides patients the opportunity to communicate with them by e-mail. Transmitting
confidential health information by e-mail, however, has a number of risks, both general and specific, that
should be considered before using e-mail.
1. Risks:
a. General e-mail risks are the following: e-mail can be immediately broadcast worldwide and
be received by many intended and unintended recipients; recipients can forward e-mail to
other recipients without the original sender(s) permission, or knowledge; users can easily
misaddress an e-mail; e-mail is easier to falsify than handwritten, or signed documents;
backup copies of e-mail may exist even after the sender, or recipient has deleted his/her
history.
b. Specific e-mail risks are the following: e-mail containing information pertaining to
diagnosis and/or treatment must be included in the protected personal health information;
all individuals who have access to the protected personal health information will have
access to the e-mail messages; patients who send, or receive e-mail from their place of
employment risk having their employer read their e-mail.
2. It is the policy of Austin UltraHealth that all e-mail messages sent or received, which concern the
diagnosis, or treatment, of the patient will be a part of that patient’s protected personal health
information and we will treat such e-mail messages, or internet communications, with the same
degree of confidentiality as afforded other portions of the protected personal health information.
Austin UltraHealth will use reasonable means to protect the security and confidentiality of e-mail,
or internet communication. Because of the risks outlined above, we cannot, however, guarantee
the security and confidentiality of e-mail, or internet communications.
3. Patients must consent to the use of e-mail for confidential medical information after having been
informed of the above risks. Consent to the use of e-mail includes agreement with the following
conditions:
a. All e-mail to, or from, patients concerning diagnosis and/or treatment will be made a part
of the protected personal health information. As a part of the protected personal health
information, other individuals, Dr. Amy Myers, Brianne Herman, RD, LD, physicians,
nurses, other healthcare practitioners, insurance coordinators, and upon written
authorization other healthcare providers and insurers will have access to e-mail messages
contained in protected personal health information.
b. Austin UltraHealth practitioners may forward e-mail messages within the practice as
necessary for diagnosis and treatment. We will not, however, forward the e-mail outside
the practice without the consent of the patient as required by law.
c. We at Austin UltraHealth will endeavor to read e-mail promptly, but can provide no
assurance that the recipient of the particular e-mail will read the e-mail message promptly.
Therefore, e-mail must not be used in a medical emergency.
d. It is the responsibility of the sender to determine whether the intended recipient received
the e-mail and when the recipient will respond.
e. Because some medical information is so sensitive that unauthorized disclosure can be very
damaging, e-mail should not be used for communications concerning diagnosis, or
treatment of AIDS/HIV infection; other sexually transmissible, or communicable diseases,
such as syphilis, gonorrhea, herpes, and the like; Behavioral health, Mental health, or
developmental disability; or alcohol and drug abuse.
12
f. Austin UltraHealth cannot guarantee that electronic communications will be private.
However, we will take reasonable steps to protect the confidentiality of the e-mail, or
internet communication. However, Dr. Amy Myers and Brianne Herman RD, LD are not
liable for improper disclosure of confidential information not caused by its employee’s gross
negligence, or wanton misconduct.
g. If consent is given for the use of e-mail, it is the responsibility of the patient to inform
Austin UltraHealth staff of any type of information you do not want to be sent by e-mail.
h. It is the responsibility of the patient to protect their password or other means of access to e-
mail sent, or received, from Austin UltraHealth, to protect confidentiality. Austin
UltraHealth is not liable for breaches of confidentiality caused by the patient.
Any further use of e-mail initiated by the patient that discusses diagnosis, or treatment, constitutes
informed consent to the foregoing.
I understand that my consent to the use of e-mail may be withdrawn at any time by e-mail, or written
communication, to Austin UltraHealth at admin@dramymyers.com
I have read this form carefully and understand the risks and responsibilities associated with the use of e-
mail. I agree to assume all risks associated with the use of e-mail.
