New York Laws
Title 1 - General Provisions
2504 - Enabling Certain Persons to Consent for Certain Medical, Dental, Health and Hospital Services.

(a) the patient or the patient's authorized representative gives prior
oral or written informed consent specific to the pelvic examination;
(b) the performance of a pelvic examination is within the scope of
care for the surgical procedure or diagnostic examination scheduled to
be performed on the patient and to which the patient has already given
oral or written consent; or
(c) the patient is unconscious and the pelvic examination is medically
necessary for diagnostic or treatment purposes, and the patient is in

immediate need of medical attention and an attempt to secure consent
would result in a delay of treatment which would increase the risk to
the patient's life or health.
Nothing in this subdivision diminishes any other requirement to obtain
informed consent for a pelvic examination or any other procedure.
