iDecide FAQ

I am under 18 and don't want my parents to know bout my care, can I still see a doctor?

Yes!  You can see a doctor and your privacy will be protected!  In the state of Michigan individuals under 18 can consent to reproductive health care without their parent or guardian’s permission or knowledge.  


There are a couple of exceptions to this.  If a provider feels like there is a threat to your safety or someone else, they are required by law to notify your parent or guardian and possibly the authorities.
