Children should not submit personal information through public website forms without the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian.

Website content does not constitute medical advice, psychiatric advice, diagnosis, treatment, psychotherapy, counseling, medication management, prescribing, or a recommendation regarding any medication, supplement, procedure, clinician, facility, or level of care.

Information may be incomplete, general, outdated, or inapplicable to your individual circumstances. Never disregard or delay professional care because of something you read on this website.

No statement on the website guarantees that a particular diagnosis, medication, test, treatment, accommodation, letter, or service will be appropriate or provided.

This website, public forms, email, text messaging, voicemail, scheduling tools, and routine portal messages are not monitored continuously and must not be used for emergencies or urgent safety concerns.

Do not use these channels for suicidal thoughts, homicidal thoughts, threats, overdose, severe medication reactions, rapidly worsening symptoms, psychosis, withdrawal, abuse emergencies, or other urgent medical or psychiatric concerns.

For immediate danger, call 911. For suicide or crisis support, call or text 988. You may also contact Colorado Crisis Services or go to the nearest emergency department.

Appointment availability shown through a scheduling platform may change and is not guaranteed until scheduling is confirmed.

Welch Psychiatric Group may decline, cancel, reschedule, or redirect an appointment when clinically, legally, operationally, or professionally appropriate.

Submission of an appointment request does not guarantee acceptance as a patient, ongoing treatment, medication prescribing, controlled substance prescribing, completion of forms or letters, or any particular outcome.

Separate financial, cancellation, telehealth, consent, and treatment policies apply to scheduled services.

Telehealth services may be provided only when the patient is physically located in a jurisdiction where the treating clinician is legally authorized to practice and when telehealth is clinically appropriate.

Website statements regarding service areas are informational and do not guarantee that care may legally or clinically be provided in every location or circumstance.

Telehealth care is governed by a separate Telehealth Informed Consent and related practice policies.

Fees, insurance participation, reimbursement information, and scheduling availability may change. Information displayed on the website is provided for convenience and does not guarantee coverage, reimbursement, network status, benefits, authorization, or payment by an insurance plan.

Patients remain responsible for understanding their financial obligations and for payment as described in the applicable Financial and Cancellation Policy.

Website descriptions of forms, letters, accommodations, workplace documents, school documents, disability paperwork, emotional support animal documentation, or other administrative services do not guarantee that any document will be completed.

Documentation may require an established clinical relationship, sufficient evaluation, supporting records, clinical justification, additional appointment time, and payment of an applicable fee.

Welch Psychiatric Group may decline requests that are not clinically appropriate, legally supportable, within scope, or supported by available information.

Nothing on this website guarantees the prescription, continuation, dosage, taper, replacement, early refill, or approval of any medication.

Prescribing decisions are made only after appropriate evaluation and are subject to clinical judgment, patient safety, professional standards, pharmacy requirements, federal and state law, and required monitoring.

Controlled-substance prescribing may require additional agreements, prescription-monitoring review, laboratory or drug testing, medical records, vital signs, in-person evaluation, or referral.

Welch Psychiatric Group strives to provide useful and accurate website information but does not warrant that all content is complete, current, error-free, or suitable for every purpose.

Clinical standards, laws, regulations, insurance participation, service availability, pricing, and practice operations may change without immediate website revision.

We may correct, update, remove, suspend, or replace website content at any time without notice.

Educational materials, articles, checklists, resource lists, and links are offered for general information. Inclusion does not constitute endorsement, guarantee, referral, or representation that a resource is appropriate for a particular person.

Users are responsible for independently evaluating external resources and seeking individualized professional advice.

This website may link to or integrate with third-party scheduling, telehealth, patient portal, payment, mapping, analytics, social media, educational, and communication services.

Welch Psychiatric Group does not control and is not responsible for the availability, content, security, privacy practices, terms, accuracy, functionality, or performance of third-party services.

Your use of third-party services is subject to their own terms and privacy policies.

By providing contact information, you authorize Welch Psychiatric Group to respond through reasonable administrative communication methods, subject to your preferences and applicable law.

Email, SMS, voicemail, and ordinary website forms may not be fully secure. Do not include highly sensitive clinical information unless specifically instructed to use a secure method.

Message delivery, receipt, and response times are not guaranteed. Clinical communication should occur through the secure patient portal when directed.

If the website later includes an automated assistant, chatbot, symptom screener, artificial intelligence feature, or similar tool, its output will be for general informational or administrative purposes only unless expressly stated otherwise.

Automated output may be incomplete or inaccurate and does not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, prescribing, crisis support, or communication with a licensed clinician.

Do not submit emergency or highly sensitive information to an automated tool unless the feature expressly identifies itself as a secure clinical service.

General website data is addressed in the Website Privacy Policy. Protected health information related to patient care is addressed in the HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices.

These Terms do not replace either privacy document.

The website and its text, design, layout, branding, logos, photographs, graphics, illustrations, videos, downloads, service descriptions, and original materials are owned by or licensed to Welch Psychiatric Group and are protected by intellectual property laws.

You may view and print limited portions for personal, noncommercial, informational use, provided you do not remove copyright, trademark, attribution, or proprietary notices.

You may not copy, reproduce, republish, modify, distribute, sell, license, create derivative works from, scrape, frame, mirror, publicly display, commercially exploit, or use website content to train automated systems without prior written permission.

“Welch Psychiatric Group,” related names, logos, designs, and branding may not be used in a manner likely to create confusion, imply endorsement, or misrepresent affiliation.

You represent that information you submit through the website is accurate, lawful, and does not infringe the rights of another person.

Do not submit content you do not have the right to provide. Do not impersonate another person, misrepresent authority, or submit false scheduling, billing, referral, employment, or professional information.

General suggestions or feedback may be used to improve the website or practice without compensation or obligation, provided protected health information and confidential patient information remain governed by applicable law.

You may not use the website to:

• Violate any law, regulation, court order, or third-party right
• Submit false, fraudulent, threatening, abusive, defamatory, discriminatory, obscene, or unlawful content
• Harass, intimidate, impersonate, or threaten staff, clinicians, patients, or other persons

The website and its features are provided on an “as available” basis. Access may be interrupted by maintenance, outages, internet failures, cybersecurity events, platform changes, third-party failures, or circumstances beyond our control.

Welch Psychiatric Group does not guarantee continuous, timely, secure, or error-free access and is not responsible for losses caused by inability to access or use the website.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the website and its content are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied.

Welch Psychiatric Group disclaims implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, noninfringement, accuracy, completeness, security, availability, and freedom from harmful components, to the extent permitted by law.

Welch Psychiatric Group does not guarantee acceptance as a patient, appointment availability, diagnosis, medication recommendations, prescription approval, treatment response, symptom improvement, insurance reimbursement, accommodation, documentation, or any other result.

Healthcare outcomes vary and depend on numerous factors outside the control of the website and practice.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Welch Psychiatric Group, LLC and its owners, clinicians, employees, contractors, agents, affiliates, vendors, and licensors will not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from or related to website access, use, inability to use, reliance on content, third-party services, communication delays, technical failures, data loss, or unauthorized access beyond reasonable safeguards.

Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. These website limitations do not alter professional duties arising from an established provider-patient relationship.

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Welch Psychiatric Group, LLC and its owners, clinicians, employees, contractors, agents, affiliates, vendors, and licensors from claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses arising from your unlawful or unauthorized website use, violation of these Terms, infringement of another person’s rights, or misuse of website features.

Welch Psychiatric Group may suspend, restrict, or terminate access to all or part of the website at any time when reasonably necessary for security, maintenance, legal compliance, operational needs, or suspected misuse.

Termination of website access does not by itself determine or terminate an established clinical relationship, which is governed by separate clinical, legal, ethical, and practice policies.

Welch Psychiatric Group seeks to provide an accessible website experience. If you encounter an accessibility barrier or need information in another format, contact our office and describe the page, feature, or content involved.

Accessibility requests may be submitted to admin@welchpsychiatricgroup.com or by calling 720-619-6082.

Welch Psychiatric Group may revise these Terms, website content, features, services, or links at any time. Updated Terms become effective when posted unless another date is stated.

Continued use of the website after updated Terms are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

These Terms and disputes arising from website use are governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where federal law controls.

To the extent a dispute is not subject to another enforceable agreement and venue may lawfully be specified, exclusive venue will lie in the state or federal courts serving Douglas County, Colorado.

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary or severed, and the remaining provisions will remain in effect.

Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of that provision or any other right. You may not assign rights or obligations under these Terms without written consent. Welch Psychiatric Group may assign these Terms in connection with a lawful business transition, reorganization, or transfer.

These Terms, together with the Website Privacy Policy and any other policies expressly incorporated by reference, constitute the entire agreement regarding general website use.

They do not replace patient-specific informed consents, financial agreements, HIPAA notices, medication agreements, telehealth consents, or clinical policies that apply after care is established.
