Can an adult, other than the parents/legal guardian of a child, bring the child in for his/her medical visit?
The parent or legal guardian must be present at the first visit to authorize treatment. However, at subsequent visits an adult who is not a parent or legal guardian can bring the child in for a medical visit IF and ONLY IF they have a note signed by the parent/legal guardian authorizing them to bring the child for medical treatment. GEFCC will verify that the signature on the note belongs to a parent/legal guardian before the child can be seen by a provider.
