What is a Consent for Medical Treatment of a Minor?

A Consent for Medical Treatment of a Minor document allows a designated individual to make any necessary healthcare decisions for your child in your absence. These forms can ensure that your child can receive prompt medical attention when someone else is looking after your child. Common situations include when the parents are travelling or when the child is routinely in the care of another, such as a babysitter, nanny, daycare providers, teachers, step-parents, grandparents, or sports coaches. 

A Consent for Medical Treatment of a Minor document allows you to specify the the scope of permission to treat your child, from allowing for the use of basic first aid or emergency medical treatment only, to approving the use of general anesthesia. This document also enables you to provide information about your child's physician, preferred hospital, insurance, and prescription medications. Due to the broad possibility of medical needs, it is important to choose someone you trust to make these decisions.

When to use a Consent for Medical Treatment of a Minor:

  • You want to give limited consent to someone else to obtain medical treatment for your child.
  • You have a regular, trusted daycare provider who you want to be able to request medical attention for your child if it becomes necessary while the child is in their care.
  • Your child will be in the temporary care of someone else such as other family members, school teachers or coaches, church groups or travel agency.
