Demographic and consent to treat
In our demographic packet we include a document for the parent to sign that gives other individuals the consent to treat their child.
In this yearly update, is it required to have the parent fill out another consent to treat document? Or will the document automatically apply year after year until it’s revoked in writing?
SAMHSA: Patient consent now required for substance abuse records
Appropriate sharing of records for patients with substance abuse disorders should be easier under a second final rule issued January 3 by HHS and its Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). But in some cases, the new rule adds considerations that might mitigate the advantage.
Age of consent for medical care
We had a patient who was 16 years old and came with her grandmother.
The patient signed all the documents such as hipaa and financial responsibility, etc.
Her grandmother signed none of those things.
I did not find out until I billed her insurance and it resulted in a deductible.
Can I still bill her?
We’re in New York and I believe the age of consent is 18 and up.
