This policy has been created to ensure that all children have emergency action plans and school health plans that are accurate and up to date. Charges for form completion may apply, which are not necessarily covered by insurance. There is a 2 week turn-around time for all school forms not completed in the context of an office visit. For patients who do not require an appointment at the time of form completion, forms will be made available on the portal unless a self-addressed stamped envelope has been provided. The scanned copies of the forms will be available on our patient portal, should you require additional copies. Did you receive the completed forms from our office? Our office will scan the completed school forms and give you the originals before you leave the office.Our office will not accept blank forms for completion.

Filling these items out during your appointment takes time away from discussing the care of the patient, so please complete them in advance. For medication authorization forms, a separate form may be required for each medication.
