When to use this form
Use this form when a minor is in your care without a parent, when an adult patient wants to name a decision-maker, or when a clinic needs written consent before treatment. It fits school trips, summer camps, sports leagues, caregiving arrangements, and pre-op visits. Clear authorization speeds triage, reduces calls for verbal consent, and helps you document scope and limits. For planned procedures that require insurer approval, pair it with the Prior authorization form. During intake, you can complement it with the Patient admission and consent form to capture broader consents and notices. The result: faster care with fewer delays and fewer disputes.
Must Ask Medical Treatment Authorization Questions
- Whose care does this authorization cover (full legal name and date of birth)?
This uniquely identifies the patient and prevents chart mix-ups. Matching identity details improves record accuracy and billing.
- Which treatments and procedures are you authorizing?
Defining the scope clarifies what providers may do, from diagnostics to emergency interventions. It also sets limits so staff do not exceed consent.
- Who can make decisions on the patient's behalf (name, relationship, and contact)?
Naming an agent or guardian speeds care when the patient is unavailable. Contact details let staff reach the right person fast.
- Are there any restrictions, allergies, or standing instructions we must follow?
Safety notes, such as medication allergies or religious limits, guide appropriate care. Capturing this now reduces risk and delays.
- What is the effective date range, and how can you revoke this authorization?
Clear start and end dates avoid stale or open-ended consent. If a patient later declines care, document that with an Against medical advice form.
