About the Custodial Parent Release Form

As a federal contractor, United Concordia is bound by contract and law to adhere to the Privacy Act. The Privacy Act of 1974 was established to guard against an invasion of privacy of any record retained on an individual by a government agency. It is important to understand the restrictions the Privacy Act places on the customer service we can provide to you. Some of the restrictions are:

  • Personal information can only be released to the family member to whom the information pertains if the family member is age 18 or older; unless United Concordia receives written authorization.
  • Parents or legal guardians of children under age 18 can receive information on the minor child, provided the relationship to the minor can be established.
  • Prior to requesting information, a legal guardian or custodial parent must establish proof of guardianship, in writing, to United Concordia.

The Custodial Parent Release form(s) will allow United Concordia to issue all correspondence directly to the custodial parent, as well as payment* for services provided to minor children by network or non-network dentists. The Custodial Parent Release form(s) must be completed and signed by the sponsor and custodial parent. In lieu of the signed Custodial Parent Release form(s), a valid court order or proof of guardianship can be accepted. If sending a Court Order or Proof of Guardianship, please be sure to include the sponsor’s social security number and your name and address.

Court orders must contain the following information:

  • The page containing the names of the plaintiff and defendant
  • The page containing the name(s) of the child/children
  • The page containing the custody order (who has custody, joint or sole custody)
  • The page containing the judge’s signature

Proof of Guardianship must contain the following information:

  • The name and address of appointed guardian
  • The name(s) of the child/children that the guardianship applies to
  • If applicable, the dates of duration for the guardianship

*Payment: The recipient of payment is determined by the dentist’s network status and if the services were paid for during the office visit.
