What Is a Medical Waiver Form?

A medical waiver form is a legal document that doctors, medical practitioners, and healthcare professionals use to obtain permission from patients to provide medical care and release themselves from any legal responsibility in case of an incident. By signing a medical waiver form, the patient gives up their right to sue the medical practitioner or the facility.

What Does the Form Need to Include?

Some of the most common details to include in your waiver form are:

Patient’s contact information (name, email address, home address, phone number, etc.)
Medical state (current and past injuries, medication, etc.)
Description of the medical treatment (plus potential risks)
Terms of agreement (if applicable)
Signature field
Date and time

Who Needs a Medical Waiver Form?

Healthcare providers share medical waivers with individuals who engage in activities that could harm them or accept medical care that carries some risks. The disclaimer helps the patient understand the risks and potential injuries and allows doctors to be released of any legal responsibility.
