Criteria for emancipated minor ( from dr.reds review)
The following are the categories of minors authorized to consent to medical care
emancipated minors (sometimes defined as those who are married, who are pregnant, who are parents, who have served in armed forces, are living apart and financially independent from their parents) :
married minors;
minors in the armed forces;
mature minors;
minors living apart from their parents ( if older than 13 yrs) ;
high school graduates;
pregnant minors
minor parents.
The idea behind this is that because these minors are no longer under effective parental supervision, parental consent is not a sensible precondition to accessing care.
SERVICES WHICH DO NOT NEED PARENTAL CONSENT :
There are some health services for which any minor can give consent. The various services for which minors are authorized to give consent in one or more states in the USA are: • emergency care; • prenatal care; • contraceptive services; • abortion; • diagnosis or treatment of venereal or sexually transmitted diseases; • diagnosis or treatment of reportable, infectious, contagious or communicable diseases; • HIV/AIDS testing or treatment; • counseling or treatment for drug- or alcohol-related problems; • collection of medical evidence or treatment for sexual assault; and • in- or outpatient mental health services.
NOTE : If a patient who is a minor requests termination of pregnancy, advice on contraception, or treatment of sexually transmitted diseases without a parent's knowledge or permission, the physician may wish to attempt to persuade the patient of the benefits of having parents involved, but should be aware that a conflict may exist between the legal duty to maintain confidentiality and the obligation toward parents or guardians Information should not be disclosed to others without the patient's permission . In such cases, the physician should be guided by the minor's best interest in light of the physician's conscience and responsibilities under the law. |
