Parent Locked Out Of 12-Year-Old’s Health Records By Casper’s Banner Health

Casper’s Banner Health has revoked at least one parent’s access to her child’s medical records online now that the child is 12 years old, according to a tip sent this week to Cowboy State Daily.

“Access to your child’s account has been revoked,” reads a screen shot of Banner Health’s message to the parent. “The reason for this is because the child is now between the ages of 12 and 17. Based on state law, a minor child may consent to certain treatments without parental consent.”

Records of those treatments are protected, Banner Health’s note continues, “and may not be released to a parent without the minor patient’s consent.”

Because the hospital can’t separate those protected records out, it denied the parent proxy access to her child’s patient account.

The parent still can request the child’s medical records by going to a Banner Health hospital or clinic and completing a request for certain records, the note says.

It adds: “We can limit access to records of treatment that may not be provided without the minor’s consent.”

Drop the little pervert off at the county social services. Surrender them for adoption.

The parents need to wake up, I warned my doctor many years ago that if he ever treated my MINOR daughter for ANY REASON without me being notified and approving it, I would hunt him down like the dog he is and kill him. We NEVER had any problems, and he is still my doctor, I know where he lives and he knows it.

“Banner Health should be losing lots of policies.”

State law mandates Banner’s actions.

So parents can’t know their kids’ medical issues and treatments. But providers are being paid. How? Does that mean that the Healthcare Industrial Complex and/or government has the right to withdraw funds from the parent’s bank accounts at any time? Sounds dangerous.
