Must a hospital or health care provider report the rape or rape crisis treatment of a minor to the minor's parents?

No. When treatment is confidential, a provider may not release any related medical information-including the circumstances that lead to the treatment-to any third party, including the minor's parents, without the minor's consent, unless otherwise required by law (See Questions 6 & 8). Further, even when a minor does not have capacity to consent, New York law requires that minors over the age of 12 be notified of any requests that parents or guardians make to review the minor's medical records; if the minor objects to disclosure, the provider may deny the request.
