Physicians licensed in Illinois may provide birth control services without parental consent to a minor who is married, a parent, pregnant, to whom failure to provide such would create a serious health hazard, or who is referred for such by a physician, clergyman or planned parenthood agency.

A minor 12 years of age or older who may have come into contact with any venereal disease, or may be determined to be an addict, an alcoholic or an intoxicated person, as defined in the Alcoholism and Other Drug Abuse and Dependence Act, or who may have a family member who abuses drugs or alcohol, may give consent to medical care or counseling related to the diagnosis or treatment of the disease. The consent of the parent, parents, or legal guardian is not necessary in this specific case. However, according to Illinois law, when treating the minor's disease, or drug or alcohol abuse, you should, upon the minor's consent, make reasonable efforts to involve the family of the minor in his or her treatment, if you believe that the involvement of the family will not be detrimental to the progress and care of the minor.

Other special cases in which consent of the parent of a minor is not required to treat the minor include, but are not limited to, rendering emergency treatment or first aid, cases in which the minor is the victim of an aggravated criminal sexual assault, criminal sexual assault, aggravated criminal sexual abuse or criminal sexual abuse. Special conditions apply to all of these situations.
