Medical expenses for minors under confidentiality

Questioner

if a minor lives in an institution under confidentiality and there are medical bills that need to be paid, who is responsible for handling these costs: the appointed family guardian or the institution? parents are legally responsible but because of this confidentiality are not allowed to know where the minor is staying.

Lawyer

Normally, the parents are responsible and the child falls under the health insurance of the parents. However, now that the parents are not allowed to know where the child lives, and there is a family guardian, this family guardian should be contacted. They should then provide a solution to proceed with payment of the bill.
