In Maryland, parents are responsible for their children's support, care, nurture, welfare, and education. The Supreme Court of Maryland (formerly the Court of Appeals) has held that medical care is one of these parental responsibilities. You are not presumed to be able to consent to your own medical treatment. This article discusses situations where you can consent to medical treatment and situations in which your parents must be notified prior to treatment being administered. The article also covers some other common age-related questions.
When can a minor consent for medical care?
Maryland law allows you to consent to your own medical or dental care if:
- you are married, the parent of a child, or living separate and apart from your parents and self-supporting, or
- the consent is for specific types of treatments or advice.
- You may consent to treatment or advice for substance abuse, sexually transmitted infections, contraception (not including sterilization), and pregnancy.
If your parents are unavailable, you can consent to medical treatment in an emergency. If a doctor believes that delaying treatment to obtain parental consent would adversely affect your life or health, you can consent to treatment.
When you can consent to treatment, you can also choose the doctor who will provide the treatment. For a non-emergency situation, the parents should sign a legal document called a Health Care Authorization, designating who has the right to make decisions regarding the minor child's health care.

Can a relative providing informal kinship care provide consent for medical care?
A relative providing you with living arrangements, care, and custody due to serious family hardship may consent to your medical care. This is known as "informal kinship care." Serious family hardship means your parent/guardian has died, has a serious illness, suffers from drug addiction, is incarcerated, has abandoned you, or has been assigned to active military duty.
For a relative providing kinship care to give consent to medical treatment, the following criteria must be met:
- a court has not appointed a guardian for you or awarded custody of you to someone else, and
- the relative must verify that "informal kinship care" exists between you and the relative.
Verifying the informal kinship care relationship involves filing an affidavit with the Department of Human Services, Social Services Administration. The affidavit is titled “Consent for Healthcare Affidavit.” To receive this form, contact your local health department or your local Department of Social Services.

Can I get an abortion without notifying my parents?
If you are a minor and you are not married, a doctor may not perform an abortion without first notifying your parents. However, the doctor may perform an abortion without informing your parents under the following circumstances:
- If you do not live with your parents and,
- the doctor's reasonable attempts to notify your parents have failed.
A doctor can also perform an abortion if, in their professional judgment:
- notifying your parents/guardian might lead to physical or emotional abuse;
- you are mature and capable of giving informed consent; or
- notifying your parents/guardian would not be in your best interest.
Ultimately, it is within the discretion of the doctor whether to perform the abortion without your parent's knowledge or consent.

Your consent to treatment is conditional on the healthcare provider’s determination that you are mature and capable of providing informed consent. While the health care provider does not have to, they can inform your parents about your treatment.
While you can consent to mental health treatment without your parent's consent, if your parents have given consent to consultation, diagnosis, or treatment, you cannot refuse. Additionally, if you are under 16, your ability to consent does not include consent to the use of prescription medications to treat a mental or emotional disorder. Your parent's consent would be needed for any prescription medications.
