Can you even imagine…?
Your son or daughter goes off to college, gets into a very serious car accident and is sent to the ER.
And when you call, frantically, to find out if he or she's okay...
Nurse: “How old is your son/daughter?”
You: “He/She just turned 18, he's/she's in college…”
Nurse: “You do not have the right to speak to the doctor about your son's/daughter's conditions.”

If you don't have the right legal documentation, and the child is unable to give authorization
themselves, then you're not privy to your adult child's information. Don't wait and find this out the hard way.
Avoid this scary situation by having your 18-year-old fill these out:
🔺 HIPAA authorization
🔺 Medical power of attorney
🔺 Durable power of attorney
