She cares about her patients and goes the extra mile so that I don't just feel 'better' but at my best. I appreciate how open she is to holistic measures and appreciate her insightful approach with medication."

"Marge has been amazing since the very first visit. She actually listens and cares about me and what I am going through. Finding the right medication to treat my ADHD has not been easy but Marge didn’t give up. My life has improved so much with her help, I couldn’t recommend Peace Mental Wellness more. I am not sure where I’d be had I not found Marge. Thank you so much!"

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Privacy Rule provides consumers with important privacy rights and protections with respect to their health information, including important controls over how their health information is used and disclosed by health plans and healthcare providers. Ensuring strong privacy protections is critical to maintaining individuals’ trust in their healthcare providers and willingness to obtain needed healthcare services, and these protections are especially important where very sensitive information is concerned, such as mental health information.
At the same time, the Privacy Rule recognizes circumstances arise where health information may need to be shared to ensure the patient receives the best treatment and for other important purposes, such as for the health and safety of the patient or others. The Rule is carefully balanced to allow uses and disclosures of information—including mental health information—for treatment and these other purposes with appropriate protections. In this guidance, we address some of the more frequently asked questions about when it is appropriate under the Privacy Rule for a health care provider to share the protected health information of a patient who is being treated for a mental health condition.
​
What is HIPAA?
Colorado State Law, Colo. Rev. Stat. 27-65-103(2) states, “… a minor who is fifteen years of age or older, whether with or without the consent of a parent or legal guardian, may consent to receive mental health services to be rendered by a facility, by a professional person, or licensed mental health professional including psychiatric services and medications services, pursuant to part 3, 4, 5, 6, or 8 of article 43 of title 12, C.R.S.”
​
“… When a minor consents for their own mental health care, the Health Insurance Portability HIPAA Privacy rule states that a parent or guardian’s right to inspect the related medical records depends on state and other federal law. 45 C.F.R. § 164.502 (g) (3) (ii). If there is nothing in state or other law, including case law, specifying whether a parent may have access to the information, a health care provider may provide or deny access to a parent or guardian as long as that decision is consistent with state or local law, and the decision is made by a licensed health care professional exercising his or her professional judgment.”
What is the Colorado Law for treating minors?
