at our facility - we allow proxy access for parents through age 12. when the child turns 13 and until the 18th birthday, the minor child and the parent have to come on site to do some verification steps we have in place and both parties have to agree to portal access, but it is created under the child's information that is shared with the parent, it is no longer proxy access. We also limit the type of information that a parent can see on a portal account for ages 13-17 to certain provider notes and test results. At 18, the now adult will have to create their own account and then will have to determine if they still wish to share any information with their parent(s) - which will require written documentation to be signed and on file with us. Because we cover 4 different states, we also went with the strictest regulations on what is and is not viewable on our portal accounts.

Subject: MINOR CHILD PATIENT PORTAL ACCESS
Our facility is having a discussion regarding patient portal access for minor child records. We understand minor child have access to certain pieces of the record that the parent do not, how are you separating these out for those age 13 to 17, do you allow access, etc.
