A health care provider may not restrict or deny, to a parent or guardian who has authority to make health care decisions on behalf of a minor, access to the minor's: (1) Electronic health information; (2) Medical record; or (3) Patient portal. Any agreement between a health care provider and a parent or guardian that restricts or denies access to the parent or guardian in violation of this section is void and unenforceable. This section does not apply to a minor who has lawfully obtained a health care service without the consent or notification of a parent or guardian, or as provided in 45 C.F.R. § 164.502(g)(5) (January 1, 2025).
