Debunking Top Three Myths

MYTH #1 Parents can continue making medical decisions for their kids (18+) since…

It’s their kid, and they have been making medical decisions for them all for their entire life
the kid is on THEIR medical insurance policy, or
the parent is the one paying the bill!

FACT: Once a person turns 18 years of age, in the eyes of the law, they are considered to be an adult.

18+ Right to Vote
18+ Right to enter into Contracts
18+ Right to make their own medical decisions

MYTH #2 Parents can get Medical Information about their Young Adult child because there are the parents/on insurance/paying the bill

FACT: Once a person turns over 18 years of age, medical privacy laws severely limit when people can access medical records. Being a parent, paying for the insurance, or paying the bill does not grant access…

MYTH #3 Parents can make financial decisions for the young adult because they are the parents.

FACT: Once a person turns over 18 years of age, access to financial records and the ability to contract are severely limited. You need to be named Agent in a Power of Attorney (or go to Court to be appointed a Conservator) in order to…

Access to Bank Accounts
Ability to Change Childs Financial Aid Package
Ability to Figure out Tuition Problems
Ability to Initiate or Defend Against Lawsuits

Four Documents to Protect Your College Kids

Medical Power of Attorney

So, How Can You Make a Medical Decision For Your Young Adult Child?

If no documentation is in place, then parents will need to go to Court and be appointed as Guardian of the young adult.
-This takes time, Costs $$, is Frustrating, especially if this is an emergency situation
BUT- if the Child setup a Medical Power of Attorney in advance, then whoever they designate as their Agent (parents, close relative, close friend) can legally make medical decisions without Court approval

Financial Power of Attorney

So, How Do You Access Your Child’s Financial Records?

A child can grant Financial Power of Attorney before leaving for College,
BUT if incapacitated, then Parents will need to go to Court and be appointed as a Conservator

Living Will

This document allows your child to specify in advance their end-of-life decisions. For example, if there is a chance of recovery, they can say whether they do or do not want artificial means to keep them alive. They can also specify if they want pain medication to be provided to keep them comfortable, even if it might decrease their life span.

HIPAA-Release

Getting access to medical records for a Young Adult – 3 ways

A conscious adult who has capacity can provide HIPAA authorization at the hospital- but that assumes that the adult was both conscious and had capacity…
If unconscious or does not have legal capacity, then Parents will need to go to Court to petition to be appointed as a Guardian of the Young Adult.
The Young Adult can sign a HIPAA Release prior to leaving for College that authorizes whoever they want to get access to their medical records in the event of an emergency.
