Form 2085B Attachment B – Designation of Medical Consenters is a required part of the placement packet.
See 11111 Selecting the Medical Consenter and Backup Medical Consenter.
The following table describes what actions the caseworker takes depending on who they will designate as the medical consenter.
| Who will be the medical consenter? | What must the caseworker do? |
|---|---|
| Caseworker | Complete Form 2085B and list himself or herself as the consenter. |
| Caregiver, and the caseworker has the caregiver’s information before placement | Complete the Designation of Medical Consenter form in IMPACT and generate the Medical Consenter Form(s) from IMPACT. Form for DFPS Regions: Attachment B - Designation of Medical Consenters Form for Community Based Care Regions: |
| Unknown, or the caseworker does not have access to IMPACT and a printer | Bring blank copies of the appropriate form with as much of the child or youth’s information as possible filled out in advance. |
If the caseworker completes the Designation of Medical Consenter form prior to placement and learns that the identified medical consenter is different than who is listed on the form, the caseworker must complete a new Designation of Medical Consenter form and update IMPACT to reflect the correct person. The new form must be completed and provided to the caregiver at the time of placement.
At the time of the placement, the caseworker must verify that the caregiver has completed the required medical consenter training. If the child or youth is being placed with a kinship caregiver who has not completed the training, the caseworker must walk through the online or paper training with the kinship provider before designating them as the child or youth’s medical consenter.
If the caseworker cannot verify that the caregiver completed the training or is otherwise unable to complete the steps required to designate a caregiver as a medical consenter, the caseworker must designate themselves as the consenter. The caseworker must remain the consenter until the required actions are completed and the caregiver is designated as the child or youth’s consenter.
If the child or youth is being placed with a parent, the caseworker does not need to complete the medical consenter form. However, the caseworker must enter the placement and the medical consenter designation into IMPACT.
After completing the medical consenter form, the caseworker uploads it into the Childs Placement Records tab in OneCase.
