When to use this form
Use this form when your child may need medical care and you cannot be there. It covers school days, field trips, sports camps, church retreats, babysitters, or stays with grandparents. You authorize a trusted adult to talk with doctors, consent to treatment, and access needed records. For routine sharing of records, you can attach a HIPAA Authorization form. If the caregiver will also make everyday decisions, pair it with a Caregiver consent form. When a child takes medication at school or camp, include dosing instructions and a Prescription authorization form. The result: faster care in an emergency, fewer calls back to you, and clear guidance for clinics, urgent care, or the ER.
Must Ask Pediatrics Medical Release Questions
- Who is authorized to consent to treatment, and what is their relationship to the child?
Full names, relationship, phone, and a backup contact help staff verify authority fast. Clear identity prevents delays or refusal of care.
- What care do you authorize, and what limits apply?
List what is allowed, such as exams, imaging, stitches, anesthesia, or hospitalization. Naming limits or exclusions sets expectations and protects your wishes.
- What are the child's allergies, conditions, and current medications with dosing?
Clinicians use this to avoid reactions and interactions. Include over-the-counter meds and devices like inhalers or EpiPens.
- What are the child's pediatrician contact details and insurance information?
With doctor info, policy numbers, and group IDs, providers can coordinate care and billing quickly. If a procedure needs insurer approval, note it and attach a Prior authorization form.
- May providers share and obtain the child's medical information for this consent, and when does it expire?
Privacy laws require explicit permission to exchange records, so state the purpose and the parties. An expiration date and how to revoke consent keep the authorization precise and compliant.
