[quote=Anonymous]BTDT poster here. Mental health is different. Providers won’t even acknowledge that someone is a patient without authorization in writing from the patient. I have had to get a signed authorization from my son to do everything - handle billing, request medication refills, make appointments, etc. And even with that, if I try to do something by email or text and my son isn’t on the thread, my son will be added by the provider. Confidentiality is highly respected by my son’s providers. It has been annoying and difficult at times. Like when he went missing and hospitals wouldn’t tell me if he was there. But given the stigma of mental health issues, I really respect and appreciate that level of service for my son. [/quote]
