Child medical record access for parents and legal guardians

1. Make sure you’re registered for and signed in to your own online Kaiser Permanente account. If your child is a Kaiser Permanente member but you aren’t, contact Member Services for assistance at 1-888-901-4636 (TTY 711).
   
   
2.  Fill out and submit the request parental access form.
   

Parents also may make this request at the office of their child's medical provider.

For children 12 and under, you’ll have full access to your child’s medical records — the same amount of online access as you have for your own records.

For teens ages 13 to 17, parents and legal guardians can:

• Send secure message to their teen's primary care provider

• Refill medications that their teen's provider has made visible online

• View their teen's immunization records, except for the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine

•  View their teen’s upcoming visits
  

•  View the following health information about their teen: allergies, health reminders, and past surgical procedures, as well as most visit notes, after-visit summaries, medications, and lab test results

The only exceptions to the above are for health care information related to care that Washington state allows teens to access on their own: reproductive and sexual health care and mental health care, including substance use care. This includes some immunizations. For example, the HPV vaccine does not appear in a teen's online record once they turn 13. If your child received this vaccine before their 13th birthday, you would have seen HPV listed under immunizations until their 13th birthday.

• Send secure messages to the teen’s care team (EXCEPT providers from departments that primarily provide reproductive or sexual health care and mental health care such, as The Adolescent Center, Mental Health and Wellness, and Obstetrics/Gynecology)

• Securely check-in for appointments online

• Schedule and cancel appointments at kp.org

• Access any letters sent after June 14, 2022

If you already have online access for a child under age 13, you'll continue to have access to secure email, medication refills, and immunization records when your child turns 13, along with many other features and information. No further action is required.

If you are a new member, you can request online access to your teen’s account.

When a person turns 18, they may register for their own online account (if they do not already have one), with all the features and services available to adult members. If they had an account prior to turning 18, their account will automatically gain all the features and services available to members 18 and older.

At age 18, privacy laws make all information confidential between an individual and their health care providers. A parent or legal guardian can't access health information for their dependents who are 18 and older, except in very limited circumstances.
