]]> Comment on School Daze! by Anne http://www.dailypreparedness.com/2009/08/school-daze/#comment-4628 Anne Mon, 31 Aug 2009 03:32:44 +0000 http://www.dailypreparedness.com/?p=240#comment-4628 Thank you, Tami for pointing out this important item I missed! You are absolutely correct that parents (even ones paying the tuition bill) will have NO legal right to obtain information about their legal-aged child's school or medical records. Even if your child is ill, the physician is constrained by law. He/she cannot discuss your child's case or history without (except for possibly life & death situations) your child's consent. Before dropping Junior off, have him/her execute a medical power of attorney which gives you permission to speak to caregivers. You can easily find a 'fill in the blank' form online by searching for medical power of attorney. Ideally, the form will be notarized and include express permission in compliance with HIPPA laws allowing you to speak to any medical professional caring for your child. A similar form should be completed with regards to academic records, etc. Thanks again, Tami! Thank you, Tami for pointing out this important item I missed!

Also the parents do not have the right to be notified about any medical issues and do not have the right to be involved in any medical decisions. This can all be addressed legally, with medical power of attorney and other legal documents, but it's something that all parents need to be aware of and discuss with their almost-grown children.
