The patient is the primary signer when legally competent. If the patient cannot sign, an authorized healthcare proxy or legally appointed guardian may sign and must present appropriate authorization documentation.
Clinic or practice administrators complete administrative fields and verify insurance details but should obtain the patient's signature for consent and provider selection to ensure legal validity.
