The law states that they are able to do so without the consent of their parent or guardian. Being APC makes every effort to coordinate, collaborate, and communicate with parents. In most situations, parents are required to provide Consent. For minors that are able to understand and provide consent for treatment, above the age of 12, they can be seen or treated. If notifying a parent would result in physical or emotional harm, by law we must refrain from communicating with that parent. (“Children”).
