TX HHS Form 4205. Consent by Foster Parents or Medical Consenters for Health Passport

The TX HHS Form 4205, "Consent by Foster Parents or Medical Consenters for Health Passport", is a crucial document that enables foster parents or medical consenters to authorize the release of their child's health-related information into the Texas Early Childhood Intervention (ECI) Program's electronic health information system, known as the Health Passport. This form helps solve the problem of ensuring that children in foster care have access to their health records while receiving ECI services.

This consent form requires the parent or medical consenter to provide their name and relationship to the child, as well as confirm that they have received training on accessing and using the Health Passport system. The form also outlines the types of information that will be released, including the services page of the child's Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP), which contains health and medical information.

The TX HHS Form 4205 should be used by foster parents or medical consenters who want to authorize the release of their child's health-related information into the Health Passport system. This form is particularly important for children in foster care who are entitled to receive ECI services, as it ensures that their healthcare providers and medical consenters have access to their health records while they are receiving these services.
