Speaking of Washington State. Found this on another site and if you have children in Washington State, your parental rights are curtailed starting tomorrow:

Beginning April 5, 2021, parents will no longer have access to Protected Health Information (PHI) belonging to children 13 and older, in accordance with Washington state privacy laws. The result is that upon turning 13, your child will have sole access to test results and to chart notes produced in the practice or during a hospital stay. Your current access to your child’s patients portal will be disabled on April 5; your 13-year-old may reestablish their portal account using their own email address.

***

Two days later I got a follow up email that started this way:

Dear Friends and Neighbors,

This week, we shared a brief message with our patient community regarding a change in parental access to the health record of patients 13 years and older. We apologize for not providing you a more robust and thoughtful communication. ..

***

It was a longer email explaining again the new law plus a link to a FAQ page and an email to someone within the hospital conglomerate to answer further questions.

Obviously, some parents were as shocked as I was and the hospital must have been flooded with calls. Further on in the email it explained that parents can petition to gain access to their kids records but there are MANY many hoops to jump through to get that approval.

At 13, you are not an adult and your parents are still responsible for your well being. How is this okay?

I don’t have kids but my gut reaction was that it’s wrong and there’s something sinister afoot.
