At Lifeguard Pediatrics we understand that issues related to divorce are very difficult for the entire family. However, we will not be party to custodial, separation or financial disputes relating to individuals with regard to minor children to whom services are provided. All copays, co-insurance and deductibles will be collected at the time of service from the individual accompanying the child at the visit. Both parents have access to the minor child’s medical records unless we are provided a copy of a court order that mandates otherwise.“We maintain that divorce, separation and custody agreements should not take precedence over the provision of medical care for a child; such matters should remain between the parents.”
