I also hate that there is never an option to opt out of this service either.

Not universally true— with my healthcare network there is a consent form that allows you to decline the use of AI for online appointments, and for in-person they request verbal consent. I make sure to decline every time.

Just wanted to share so that people can check if opting out is possible (for now at least).

one can only hope it has any meaning. what platform do they use for online ~~applications~~ appointments? zoom? ms teams? google meet?

[-] doinky@lemmy.today 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

My network (my insurance is with an HMO so it’s all centralized with all the physical and mental healthcare providers I have access to) has you click on your appointment in the app or online, and then it opens Zoom.

I have to use Teams for work and the idea of using that for therapy is kind of funny for some reason…

yeah. I wouldn't expect that opt out to be honored. maybe by your provider, but not by zoom.
