Birth Control Pills in High School show up in Medical Records?

Question

Are Birth Control Pills shown in our medical bills/reports? Even though they say everything is kept secret. Talking about high school. =] In California USA. So lets say i order my medical record, will it show the birth control pills on there? Asking on the behalf of my girlfriend...

Answer 1

no way.

Answer 2

They would have to be, yes.  Birth Control pills are a hormonal drug, if they were not disclosed in medical records there could be potentially fatal contraindications that the doctors would be oblivious to.  Not to mention if she ever had a stroke or blood clots related to the pills, and doctors didn't know she was taking them, they would be unable to treat her appropriately.  Medical records in and of themselves are confidential however, and if your girlfriend is over 16 she can specifically request that her parents not have access to that portion of her records.

Answer 3

She is going to have to tell every doctor she goes to shes on the pill b/c it may cause reactions to some medicines, so they will right it down on her chart.  If your scared her parents may find out go to a clinic......planned parent hood if you have them in cali, also use protection for the first 30 days at least.

Answer 4

Well, I sincerely hope so - it's extremely dangerous if they don't. What if she was rushed to hospital unconscious and nobody else knew she was taking them?
