It also creates a documented consent and audit trail needed for billing, care coordination, and privacy compliance under HIPAA.
Parents or legal guardians usually complete the form at the first appointment or during registration.
Clinics typically retain the completed form in the infant's medical record and make it available to treating clinicians and authorized billing personnel.
