Someone must give consent, or permission, for the teenager to receive health care at the clinic. Consent may come from the patient or the parent/guardian, depending on the patient’s age.

Patients with financial need may qualify for a special program to help pay for services related to reproductive health care.
 
General health care for patients under the age of 18, including sports physicals and illness treatment, requires consent of a parent or guardian. The parent or guardian needs to be present at the first visit; a note is required for subsequent visits.
