Supplemental Terms and Conditions for Parents or Legal Guardians of Children under the Age of 13
Parental Access
Parents or guardians of minor children may request access to a minor child's account. Under State and Federal law, there are certain types of medical information that the parent or guardian of a minor patient, age 13 or older, may not view without the consent of the minor. Because of these requirements when a minor patient reaches age 13 parental access is automatically terminated.
Parental access will only be granted to parties with parental rights over the medical record account holder (child). If the parent's legal relationship with the child changes, the parent must inform TVC immediately by calling 360-882-2778. TVC reserves the right to revoke parental access at any time for any reason.
Parental Termination of Access
TVC may, at its sole discretion, deny or revoke access for any reason including cases where parent/parent or parent/child disputes cannot be resolved. TVC may also revoke a parent's access if the child notifies TVC of verifiable emancipated status.
World Wide Access LimitedDue to the constantly changing cyber security landscape MyChart@TVC may not be available from some countries outside the United States.
