Privacy Policy

MEDICAL AND LEGAL DISCLAIMER

• Not for emergencies. Yara Health provides telehealth and concierge nursing services and is not equipped to handle medical emergencies. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room immediately.

• No guarantee of results. Individual results from any treatment, medication, or program offered through Yara Health, including but not limited to weight loss treatment, sexual wellness treatment, or urgent care services, will vary. Yara Health makes no guarantee, express or implied, regarding the outcome of any treatment.

• Licensure and service area. Yara Health's services are provided by Ruth Augustin, NP, a board-certified Nurse Practitioner licensed in [list states]. Telehealth visits can only be provided to patients who are physically located in a state where the provider is currently licensed at the time of the visit. Location may be verified at the time of your appointment.

• Provider-patient relationship. Use of this website, submission of a contact form, or viewing of educational content on this site does not by itself create a provider-patient relationship. A provider-patient relationship begins only once you have completed intake and been accepted as a patient of Yara Health.

• Age requirement. Services offered through Yara Health are intended for patients 18 years of age or older, unless otherwise specified for a particular service.

• Not a substitute for in-person care. Telehealth has limitations. Some conditions cannot be safely diagnosed or treated remotely, and your provider may determine that an in-person visit, lab work, or referral to a specialist is necessary. Telehealth is not appropriate for every condition or every patient.

• Educational content. Blog posts, social media content, and any general health information published by Yara Health are for informational purposes only and are not intended as personalized medical advice. Always consult with your provider before making changes to your health regimen or medications.

• Medication disclaimers. Prescriptions, including but not limited to GLP-1 medications, hormone therapy, and other treatments offered through Yara Health, are issued only after a clinical evaluation and only when medically appropriate. Yara Health does not guarantee that any specific medication will be prescribed. 

• Third-party links. This website may contain links to third-party websites. Yara Health is not responsible for the content, accuracy, or privacy practices of any linked third-party site.

• Yara Health operates on a self-pay basis and does not bill insurance directly. Patients are responsible for payment in full at the time of service. A receipt (superbill) may be provided upon request for patients who wish to seek reimbursement from their own insurance carrier, but Yara Health does not guarantee reimbursement and makes no representations about whether services will be covered by any insurance plan.
