Completing and issuing Form 2085B Designation of Medical Consenter is also an essential part of receiving timely medical care. This form serves as documentation of who the department has designated to consent for medical treatment of the child.

For caregivers who are Medical Consenters, having the properly completed Form 2085B is especially important.

• STAR Health providers use it to verify that the person is indeed the Medical Consenter for the child.
• It also verifies that the child is in DFPS conservatorship.
• It assures medical providers and others that coverage in the STAR Health program begins at removal.
• When completed in IMPACT 2.0, the information for the 2085B alerts the STAR Health program when the Medical Consenter has changed.
