7.18.2018 AC 07 (Pediatric Specific) How do practices account for adolescent confidentiality issues; for example, if an adolescent asks that information not be shared with a parent?

Pediatric practices are not penalized for not sharing information with parents if the adolescent requests that information not be shared, but applicants must explain the exclusion of adolescent patients in the associated documentation. The system must include only legitimate requests for information based on state and federal confidentiality requirements
