Navigating Complex Privacy Rights of Minors: Legal Do's & Don'ts

Price: $199 + applicable taxes

Summary

Patients have the right to confidentiality of their health record; however, when the patient is a minor, the rules become more complex with the rights of parents to control medical care. Add in divorce, emancipation, and emergency situations to name a few, and the confusion increases. Our compliance expert, Chris Apgar, will provide guidance on the privacy of medical data and the care givers' role and responsibilities in accordance with state and federal law. In this highly informative, 75-minute webinar, you will discover:
  • Laws governing the minor's right to consent for medical care
  • Minors' right to privacy versus parental right to control
