What Rights Do Parents and Guardians Have Regarding PHI?
Parents and legal guardians have several rights concerning their child's PHI. These include the right to:
Access their child's health records. Request corrections to any inaccuracies in the records. Receive an account of disclosures of their child's PHI. Request restrictions on certain uses and disclosures of PHI.
It is important for parents to be aware of these rights and to communicate with their child's healthcare providers to ensure their child's PHI is handled appropriately.
