MINN. STAT. § 144.341 – MINOR PATIENTS LIVING APART FROM THEIR PARENTS
A minor patient who is living separate and apart from his or her parents or legal guardian, whether with or without the consent of a parent or guardian, and who is managing his or her own personal financial affairs, may give effective consent to personal medical, dental, mental and other health services. Pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 144.345, the consent of a minor who claims to be able to give such consent, but who may not in fact be able to do so, will be deemed effective if the health care provider relied in good faith on the representations of the minor patient.
