LEARN: [text]
A key part of health care navigation means helping your child know how to find and use the right health services when they are needed. This includes understanding where to go for care, how to schedule appointments, how to use insurance, and how to communicate with providers. Helping your child learn these skills can build confidence and support their independence in managing their health.
Health care list
A health care list should include doctors, dentists and mental health providers, medications and pharmacies. It's important for your young adult to keep a copy of this summary, as well as keep easy access to their medical and dental insurance cards.
Privacy and consent
At 18, your young adult's health information and medical records become private. You won't be automatically included in medical conversations, and providers will need your child's permission to share information with you.
