As a minor, can I go to the doctor by myself, without a parent?!


Question: As a minor, can I go to the doctor by myself, without a parent!?
Basically I'm 16 and my mother won't take me to the doctor!.!.!.!., I don't need to explain that further, the bottom line is she won't help me, she won't take me!.

I asked her about it, and she threw some medical card or something at me (Blue Shield Of Ca) and said "go yourself"!. I was like "what the hell is this, I have no idea what to even DO!."
And she was like "you'll figure it out, bye!."

Ughhh!.!.!.!.!.!.!.

So,
Can I go by myself!?
What will they actually do without a parent!? Blood tests!? Any sort of prescriptions!? Urine tests!? Diagnoses!? X-rays!? Or just general check-ups!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
LOL your mom lost it because your growing up to fast!.

Yes just call your dr and make an appointment!. The dr schedules all your tests and they cannot tell your mom about any of the tests!.

You still have to pay your co pay for the visit if there is one!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If it your family doctor you don't have to worry as your mother has all ready given them permission to treat you!. If it is a new doctor most states require a parent or guardian's signature!. If it is your regular doctor you should be able to have any test the doctor feel you need!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

no you need your parents!. unless it't an emergency!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
