#Should you get your pediatric medical records full
The URMC website says, "A M圜hart message is then sent to your child asking him or her to approve proxy access" for parents or guardians. It says "The child can choose to provide Full Access." Rochester Regional Health does not allow medical accounts for children 12 to 17. URMC does. I just don't understand where the 12 came from." So all of a sudden I can't my 12-year-old's information? I can get it from my doctor's office, they have their own portal. On the URMC website, it says parents of teenagers can get "Limited Proxy Access" which means information about "allergies, immunizations and letters." Everything else requires their child's "permission" and "must be requested in-person at your child's doctor's office."īrean: "I bet it comes as a shock to the average parent that when their child turns 12 they're shut out from some of the information."īarnas-Simmons: "Oh absolutely! I have a 15-year-old and I've never dealt with this.
Privacy laws go back to the early 2000s. In a 2018 report by the New York Civil Liberties Union, it says a health care provider "needs the written authorization of a minor patient before disclosing information to a parent.
"But 12-year-olds up to 15, 16, 17, 18-year-olds - they need their parents to be able to have access to their information."
Maybe other 12-year-olds are more mature," she said. In New York, the law says online medical records for children 12 to 17 are protected, even from their parents. "And she said - 'Oh, I think that's the issue,'" Barnas-Simmons said.
