Who Can Consent to a Minor’s Medical Care?
Under federal healthcare regulations, a minor (anyone under the age of 18) cannot receive medical treatment unless consent is given by:

• A biological parent
• A legal guardian (with court documentation)
• An individual holding a valid medical power of attorney (MPOA)
