restrict parents under certain circumstances according to regs I found
IOWA:
A parent does not always have the right to get and amend a minor child’s medical record. For example, if a health care provider reasonably believes that a parent is abusing or neglecting a child, the provider does not have to give the parent access to the child’s medical record.
HIPPA:
There are certain circumstances in which a child’s parent is not his personal representative, and release of information to the parent in this situation would constitute According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, a doctor should not consider a parent the personal representative when:
A parent agrees that the minor and health care provider may have a confidential relationship.
Parental consent for care is not required under law.
A court provides direction for care or appoints an individual to care for the minor.
Additionally, as with all personal representatives, a doctor can use his discretion in determining whether passing on information to a parent would be beneficial to the patient. If the health care provider suspects the guardian neglects the child or subjects him to abuse, for example, the physician may refuse to continue treating the parent as a personal representative.
