An Assessment for Consent to Treat a Minor in Colorado is a legal document that is used to obtain permission for a minor, who is under the age of 18, to receive medical care without the presence of their parent or legal guardian. This document is typically completed by a parent or legal guardian, and is necessary for a healthcare provider to treat a minor. There are two types of Assessment for Consent to Treat a Minor in Colorado: General Consent and Specific Consent. General Consent is the most commonly used type of consent form, allowing a healthcare provider to treat the minor for any illness, injury, or conditions. This form must be signed by a parent or legal guardian, and should include the name of the healthcare provider, the name of the minor, and the parent or guardian’s signature. Specific Consent is required for any treatments that are more invasive, such as surgery or psychiatric care. This form is more detailed, and must include the name of the healthcare provider, the name of the minor, the parent or guardian’s signature, as well as a detailed description of the procedure or treatment.
