[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BEFORE THEY LEAVE be sure to have your child sign a HIPPA/FERPA release forms, medical power of attorney, and durable power of attorney in the event of hospitalization. If they are over 18, many states will not give you medical info if your child is over 18. Forms vary by state and are free to download.

"Three forms—HIPAA authorization, medical power of attorney, and durable power of attorney—will help facilitate the involvement of a parent or other trusted adult in a medical emergency.

If a student attends college out of state, fill out the forms relevant to the home state and school state to avoid any challenges. If the school has its own form, sign that one too, Warsh says. “When the doctor or medical institution sees it, you want them to be familiar with it and recognize it,” she says."

Keep scanned copies of the executed documents on your phone.

Where do I get the HIPAA form? I called the university health services with my request, was then transferred to the area hospital, and still have no form or information on how to get one. It would be fun to be doing this doing an emergency.[/quote]
