Then either your provider has authorization from your 19 year old or your provider does not respect your
19 year old’s right to privacy. [/quote]

HIPAA does not apply to making appointments. I make them for. Y elderly parents and kids all the time. At no point are medical records discussed. We also pay someone who occasionally makes appointments on my dad’s behalf. You’re talking out your a$$[/quote]

Healthcare provider here – this is accurate. Anyone can make an appointment, HIPAA refers to medical records. The fact that some practices have decided they won’t allow adults to schedule for other adults is a practice policy not regulatory. [/quote]

Allowing someone other than a patient to make an appointment is an admission that the patient is actually a patient if the practice. Due to the stigma of receiving mental health treatment, many or maybe most providers will only allow an adult patient to make the appointment unless there is an authorization on file. [/quote]
