The Medical Treatment Authorization for a Minor document is used by a parent to authorize a child care provider, parent, or other responsible person to obtain medical treatment for a child. For example, if a parent will be separated from a child for a few days or even a few hours, the parent may wish to give the care provider some medical instructions and the authority to obtain at least emergency medical treatment. In addition to granting the authority to obtain medical treatment, this document also allows you to provide information regarding a physician, a preferred hospital, health insurance, and medications. It is also recommended that you provide contact information for the parent(s). |
