A member asked:
When in life do doctors have to keep information confidential?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No limits: Doctors have to keep all medical information confidential and there are stringent rules regarding this (under laws called hippa). However be aware that there are no limits to medical information sharing between governments and insurance companies. The age of the patient is not at issue.
