Consent policy

Children’s Minnesota will need written consent to provide information or care in some instances, such as:

  • When parents have children 18 years or older: Children’s Minnesota will need written consent from your child in order to communicate with you about your child’s medical needs.
  • When parents leave children with other caregivers: If parents will be out of town, the clinic will need written consent from the parents stating who is taking care of their children and who they give permission to manage health care treatment of their children during the parents’ absence.
