A parent can get the medical records of an adult child if the adult child gives express permission.
If you child is a minor and you are a custodial parent, you should have complete access. If your child is an adult, none.
Generally, the person who has legal custody or legal guardianship of the child has right to the child's medical records. A parent who does not have legal custody is not entitled to the child's medical records. Generally, they would need a court order to obtain them.Generally, the person who has legal custody or legal guardianship of the child has right to the child's medical records.

If the child was a minor and in the parent's custody at time of death, yes -- the parent is the de facto Personal Representative of the child. The exception to this is if a court has sealed these records, which would typically only happen in a criminal or Grand Jury investigation. If the child was an adult at the time of demise, the parent can petition the court to order release of the records, but there is no guarantee the court will do so, as patient privacy is intended to survive the patient.
in some cases
If the child is over age 18, then the parent is not responsible for the child's medical bills. The child is legally responsible for anything that the insurance policy did not pay.
The obvious answer would be NO, why would you have to carry insurance on a child that is now considered an adult.
Yes, of course. The custodial parent is entitled to anyrecord concerning the child. Many non-custodial parents provide insurance coverage. That does not bar the parent with custody from the child's medical records. That wouldn't make sense and would be counter productive to the best interest of the child.Yes, of course.

Is this a trick question? If the child is legally an adult (and therefore 'emancipated') then there is no "custodial" parent.
No, the child can not. The other parent could before the child was an adult. The money goes to the parent to use for the child and not directly to the child.
Legally, no. Hospital personnel may slip up but they have no right to access their child's medical records.Legally, no.

It is possible. Signing the admission papers may obligate the child. Read the papers and see if the undersigned is responsible for any charges not covered by insurance. You may wish to consult an attorney.
