Minor Consent Form (Pediatric patients only)

REMINDER: ALL PEDIATRIC PATIENTS UNDER THE AGE OF 18 MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY A PARENT OR AN AUTHORIZED ADULT

If your child needs medical services and you are unavailable, you must give us permission as a parent. It is the law. A child may be treated with parental consent when a physician determines a true emergency exists. This means that the child needs immediate care and that an attempt to obtain parental consent would result in a delay which would increase the risk to the child's life or health.

This form is a legal document with which you may appoint relatives, friends, teachers, clergy, and/or neighbors (anyone who is over 18 years of age) to be responsible for your children. It is especially important to prepare this form for occasions when you know it will be hard to contact you.

I, the parent (legal guardian), of the above-named minor(s), do hereby appoint the following to act on my behalf in authorizing expected and/or unexpected medical, surgical, and/or hospitalization for the above-named minor(s)

We participate in most PPO insurance plans. (We do not accept HMO policies) If you are not insured by a plan we are in network with, payment in full is expected at each visit. If you are insured by a plan we are in network with, but don't have an up-to-date insurance card, payment in full for each visit is required until we can verify your coverage. Knowing your insurance benefits is your responsibility. Please contact your insurance company with any questions you may have regarding your coverage.

Co-payments, deductibles, co-Insurance

All co-payments, deductibles and/or co-insurance must be paid at the time of service. This arrangement is part of your contract with your insurance company. Failure on our part to collect from patients can be considered fraud. Please help us in upholding the law by paying your co-payment, deductible or co-insurance at each visit. We accept cash, check and credit/debit cards as well as HSA cards.
