| Regarding release of your health records
If you are 18 years old or older, or an emancipated minor
(defined under Michigan law as being married, emancipated through
a court order, or on active duty in the armed forces prior to age
18), your health records will be released only with your written
consent.
If you are less than 18 years old, UHS is obligated by law to release
health records (except related to sexually transmitted diseases,
contraception and pregnancy testing) to your parents if they request
them.
See Health Information Management Services to request
a copy of your health records.
Please note that charges for services may appear:
- On your parent's insurance billings. If UHS bills your parent's
insurance for services you receive, the insurance company may
notify your parent of the billings. For your confidentiality,
sensitive services such as testing for sexually transmitted diseases
or pregnancy are not billed to student's insurance companies while
you are currently enrolled.
- On your UM student account if you choose to have any UHS services
billed to this account. However, the UHS charge will indicate
only that you were seen at UHS, not the purpose of the visit.
