OH HB463

Requires health care providers using electronic health records systems to ensure parents or guardians have access to their minor child's medical records to the fullest extent permitted under HIPAA and Ohio law, without requiring the minor's authorization for records of care received with parental consent.

Mandates providers separate medical records in electronic systems between care the minor received without parental consent and care received with parental consent to facilitate appropriate parental access.

Requires health care providers to annually inform parents or guardians about circumstances under which minors can receive health care without parental consent, including services related to drug abuse, venereal disease, contraception, and mental health treatment under specified Ohio Revised Code sections.

Mandates providers inform parents that medical records for care a minor consented to without parental involvement cannot be disclosed to the parent unless the minor authorizes the disclosure.

Requires providers to offer minors the opportunity at annual well visits to provide written consent allowing parents or guardians access to records related to care the minor may have consented to or may consent to in the future without parental consent.
