    • In the event of a personal emergency, accident, or illness, the State of California will require the signature of a guardian before medical care can be obtained.
    • If you are under the age of 18, you should provide a signed authorization form granting CCA the ability to consent to medical treatment in urgent situations when your parents/guardians cannot be reached.

One Medical (healthcare provider)

    • One Medical‘s policy is that minors may be able to consent to their care without a parent or guardian present depending on the nature of their concern.

    • If both the minor and the parent agree to it, parents/guardians may fill out a consent form to remain on file in the minor's account.
