Contiguous or non-contiguous buildings, properties, parcels, leases, structures, installations, pipes, or pipelines under the. ownership or operation of the same person may be considered separate. facilities. Only this definition governs whether a facility is subject to this. part.
Any person who is eighteen years of age or older, or is the parent of a child or has married, may give effective consent for medical, dental, health and hospital services for himself or herself, and the consent of no other person shall be necessary.
Statutory law has created more exceptions to this requirement, namely in cases where a child is emancipated, married, pregnant, or a parent. In addition, several states have enacted minor treatment statutes, which typically provide that from 14 to 17 years old, a minor may consent to ordinary medical treatment.
