No because… Examinations are, at times, good and necessary ways of testing a student’s ability to commit information to memory, to work under pressure and to find out what they know. Regular examinations result in students working toward exams and exams only. They do not work in order to learn.

Risk. The guidelines consider risk to the patient in determining the level of medical decision making – risk of significant complications, morbidity and mortality – and they recognize three gauges of this risk: the presenting problems, any diagnostic procedures you choose and any management options you choose.

Current Procedural Terminology (CPT-4®) identifies four types of complexity in medical decision making: high, moderate, low and straightforward.

High Complexity Medical Decision-Making truly is complex. Either the patient is quite ill or the physician must review a significant amount of primary data. This level of MDM is required for a level 3 hospital progress note (99233) or a level 5 office visit with an established patient (99215).

The levels of E/M services recognize four types of medical decision making (straight-forward, low complexity, moderate complexity, and high complexity).

EVALUATION AND MANAGEMENT

Defining the legal age of majority at 18 years is an attempt to create conditions in which most patients can actuate the traditional notion of informed consent. This does not imply, however, that no one younger than 18 years can participate in their own health care decision making.

People aged 16 or over are entitled to consent to their own treatment. This can only be overruled in exceptional circumstances. Like adults, young people (aged 16 or 17) are presumed to have sufficient capacity to decide on their own medical treatment, unless there’s significant evidence to suggest otherwise.

Almost every state enables teen minors to make medical decisions regarding reproductive health, drug and alcohol dependence issues, and mental health support without need for parental permission.

States have traditionally recognized the right of parents to make health care decisions on their children’s behalf, on the presumption that before reaching the age of majority (18 in all but four states), young people lack the experience and judgment to make fully informed decisions.

“A minor who is 12 years of age or older may consent to medical care and counseling relating to the diagnosis and treatment of a drug or alcohol related problem.” (Cal. Family Code §6929(b)). There are different confidentiality rules under federal and state law.

Physicians who treat minors have an ethical duty to promote the developing autonomy of minor patients by involving children in making decisions about their health care to a degree commensurate with the child’s abilities.

When Children Become Adults under HIPAA At 18 they have a right to health privacy on all matters, not only sensitive matters related to behavioral or sexual health, even if they’re economically dependent on a parent. HIPAA permits providers to speak with family and friends under certain circumstances.
