- We believe that such matters should not enter into a child’s medical treatment.
- The individual who is requesting medical treatment is responsible for the payment of the medical bills. We are not a party to your divorce agreement, you are. We will collect co-pays and deductibles from the attending parent.
- “Joint Custody” means that each parent has equal access to the child’s medical record. Without a court order, we will not stop either parent from looking at their child’s chart or obtaining their child’s test results.
- We will not call the other parent for consent prior to treatment
- We will discuss with the accompanying parent information pertinent to the child’s history and/or present exam.
- We reserve the right to charge an administrative fee for copying records should the requests become excessive.
- Should the issues that come between parents become disruptive to our organization, we will discharge the patient from further treatment.
