What it is
A medical authorization form lets a provider release your protected health information, or lets someone you name make medical decisions for you. Common forms include HIPAA release authorizations, healthcare surrogate designations, and consent-to-treat forms for minors.
Who needs it
Caregivers managing a relative's care, parents authorizing treatment for a child, patients designating a healthcare surrogate, or anyone a provider has asked to submit a notarized release.
Why it needs a notary
Hospitals, insurers, and providers often require a notarized signature before they'll release records or honor a surrogate designation. Notarization confirms the form was signed by the right person, voluntarily — an important safeguard for sensitive health decisions.

Frequently asked questions
- Is my health information kept private?
- Yes. Rush Notary is built on a SOC 2 and HIPAA-conscious platform. Your document is encrypted, the video session is secure, and the notary only verifies your identity and witnesses your signature — they don't retain your medical details.
- Can I notarize a healthcare surrogate or living will online?
- Yes. In states that authorize Remote Online Notarization, including Florida, it covers healthcare surrogate designations and similar advance directives. Some advance directives also require witnesses, which our notaries can arrange during the session.
- Can a parent notarize a medical consent for a child?
- Absolutely. Parents and guardians frequently notarize consent-to-treat and medical authorization forms so a caregiver, school, or relative can authorize treatment while they're unavailable.
