Doctor Patient Confidentiality for Minors (17yrs Old)

Okay. So if you are on the Depo Provera and you need to get the prescription renewed you need to take a pregnancy test, incase you got pregnant while you were on the birth control. Well if you are pregnant and 17 years old (in Georgia) would they tell your parents or make you tell your parents.

Answer #1

Although - that being said. I’m pretty sure your parents are going to figure it out when you gain a bunch of weight and have a human being in your stomach.

Answer #2

No, they can not tell your parents anything. You are the patient and they can not legally give out information about you - even to your parents.

Answer #3

Nope…they’re not supposed to say anything unless you want them to. The confidentiality thing is for someone whose 17 and someone whose 50.
