Medical Forms You Can Sign with SigPDF
Healthcare generates more paperwork than almost any other field. Before every appointment, procedure, or hospital visit, patients are asked to sign a stack of forms. SigPDF handles all of them:
- Patient intake and registration forms
- Informed consent forms for procedures and treatments
- HIPAA authorization and privacy notice acknowledgments
- Medical records release and request forms
- Insurance claim and pre-authorization forms
- Vaccination consent and record forms
- Prescription authorization forms
- Mental health intake and assessment forms
- Advance directives and healthcare power of attorney
- Telehealth consent and service agreements
Why Privacy Matters for Medical Forms
Medical forms contain some of the most sensitive personal information you will ever put on paper — diagnoses, treatment histories, medications, allergies, mental health records, Social Security numbers, and insurance details. In the United States, HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) exists specifically because this information requires the highest level of protection.
When you use a cloud-based signing platform for medical forms, all of this protected health information (PHI) is uploaded to third-party servers. Even if the platform is HIPAA-compliant, your data still travels across the internet and is stored on someone else's infrastructure.
SigPDF eliminates this risk entirely. Your medical form PDF is processed 100% in your web browser. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is stored remotely, and nothing is accessible to any third party. When you close the browser tab, the only copy of your signed form exists on your own device.
Important note: SigPDF is a PDF signing tool, not a certified HIPAA-compliant platform. It does not provide audit trails, access controls, or business associate agreements (BAAs). However, because files never leave your device, the signing step itself does not create a PHI transmission or storage event on external servers. Consult your compliance officer for your specific requirements.
For Patients
As a patient, you are asked to sign medical forms constantly — before appointments, before procedures, when changing insurance, when requesting records, and during hospital admissions. More and more, these forms arrive as PDF email attachments that you need to sign and return. SigPDF lets you open the form, sign it, and email the signed copy back — all without a printer, scanner, or third-party account.
This is especially useful for:
- Telehealth appointments where all paperwork is digital
- Pre-appointment forms sent by email before your visit
- Signing forms from home for elderly or mobility-limited patients
- Mental health intake forms with highly sensitive content
- Pediatric forms that parents sign on behalf of children
For Healthcare Providers
Doctors, nurses, therapists, and other providers sign medical documents throughout the day — treatment plans, referral letters, prescriptions, and administrative paperwork. SigPDF lets you add your signature to any PDF medical form in seconds. Open the document on your computer, tablet, or phone, sign, and download. No software installation, no per-document fees.
