Terms of Service
Agreement to Terms
These Website Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the website operated by Brush Neuropsychology Services, PLLC (“BNS,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), located at brushneuropsych.com and any related webpages, online forms, links, or features controlled by BNS (collectively, the “Site”).
By accessing or using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you should not access or use the Site.
These Terms apply only to use of the Site. They do not replace or modify any clinical consent forms, financial agreements, HIPAA forms, telehealth consents, releases of information, Good Faith Estimate documents, or other agreements that may apply if you become a client of BNS.
Healthcare Website Disclaimer
The information on this Site is provided for general informational and educational purposes only. It is not medical advice, psychological advice, neuropsychological advice, therapy, diagnosis, treatment, crisis intervention, or a substitute for consultation with a qualified healthcare professional.
Use of this Site does not create a clinician-patient relationship, psychologist-client relationship, therapist-client relationship, or professional relationship with BNS or any BNS clinician. A clinician-patient relationship is formed only after BNS agrees to provide services and all required intake, consent, financial, and clinical documentation has been completed.
Nothing on this Site should be relied upon as a diagnosis, treatment recommendation, forensic opinion, educational determination, disability determination, legal conclusion, or emergency guidance.
No Emergency or Crisis Services Through the Website
The Site is not intended for emergencies, urgent clinical needs, or crisis communication.
Do not use the Site, contact forms, email, voicemail, text messaging, or online scheduling requests for emergencies. If you are experiencing a medical, psychiatric, or safety emergency, call 911, go to the nearest emergency room, or contact an appropriate crisis resource.
BNS does not guarantee that messages submitted through the Site will be reviewed immediately.
Scope of Services
BNS provides neuropsychological evaluation, therapy, consultation, and related professional services as appropriate and within the scope of applicable law, licensure, training, and professional standards.
Information on the Site describing services, conditions, evaluations, therapy, testing, recommendations, or treatment approaches is general in nature. Actual services depend on clinical judgment, appropriateness of fit, informed consent, availability, applicable law, and the needs of the client.
BNS reserves the right to decline, discontinue, or refer out any inquiry or requested service when clinically, ethically, legally, or administratively appropriate.
Geographic and Licensure Limitations
BNS is located in Michigan and provides services consistent with applicable licensure laws and professional regulations. Availability of services may depend on the client’s physical location at the time services are provided, the clinician’s licensure status, applicable telehealth laws, and whether services are clinically appropriate.
Information on the Site should not be interpreted as an offer to provide services in any jurisdiction where BNS or its clinicians are not authorized to practice.
Website Contact Forms and Communications
The Site may allow you to submit contact forms, appointment requests, or general inquiries. These tools are intended for basic administrative communication only.
Please do not submit detailed clinical information, medical records, psychological history, school records, legal documents, crisis information, or other highly sensitive information through general website forms unless specifically instructed to do so through a secure method.
Submitting information through the Site does not guarantee that BNS will accept you as a client, provide services, schedule an appointment, or respond within any particular timeframe.
Email, website forms, text messaging, and other electronic communications may not be fully secure and may carry some risk of unauthorized access. By using non-secure communication methods, you acknowledge and accept these risks. Information collected through the Site is also addressed in our Website Privacy Policy and, when applicable, our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices.
HIPAA and Privacy
BNS maintains separate privacy policies and clinical privacy notices. Information submitted through the Site may be governed by our Website Privacy Policy. Information created, received, maintained, or transmitted by BNS in connection with clinical services may be protected health information under HIPAA and governed by our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices.
HHS has issued guidance explaining that HIPAA-regulated entities must be careful when using online tracking technologies that may collect or disclose individually identifiable health information. BNS seeks to configure website technologies and online tools in a manner consistent with applicable privacy and security obligations..
Michigan also recognizes privacy protections for mental and behavioral health information, and state resources note that consent may be required for certain disclosures of mental health records beyond treatment, payment, and care coordination.
