  • The duration of the referring health professional’s relationship with the client, including the type of evaluation and therapy or counseling to date
  • An explanation that the criteria for hormone therapy have been met, and a brief description of the clinical rationale for supporting the client’s request for hormone therapy
  • A statement about the fact that informed consent has been obtained from the patient
