Introduction

Is your child sick, or you grandmother bedridden and she is on medication and you are required else here urgently and you will be not able to continue providing your loved one with medication. Don’t worry you could easily ask your friend, sister or someone close to you to continue with the medical treatment. But to make it official it would be better if you write down, so this is what we would call a medical authorization letter.

This letter is useful in a scenario where by as an adult you can’t continue providing that medical treatment to your child or your ailing mother, so you would need to delegate the responsibility of medical care to the sick person, this is important so as to ensure that they continue receiving the needed medical care when you are away.

Getting the right tips to write a medical authorization letter

After you have the right person in mind to take care of your medical responsibilities while you are away you are ready to write that letter, using the following tips

  • Simple and keep it short – The letter should not be long, with a lot of unnecessary information so make it short and simple straight to the delegated responsibility being given to them.
  • Identification – Make sure to include the necessary identification of all the people involved and also the person being authorized to take up of your responsibilities while you are away.
  • Tone – Need to write it in a formal and official tone since you are delegating responsibilities. But also need to be a friendly tone, since you are writing to someone to take care of your loved one.
  • Necessary information – If necessary you may include information such as insurance information and also the doctors’ contact information. Also should have an emergency contact in case something happens. If there is any medicine to be taken, ensure to state it and also give the dosage of the medicine.

With all this in mind, it makes it easier for you to write this letter when you are authorizing that person to take up your duties.
