IEP-MA Program Billing Consent form additional consent option and workflow

There is now a clear option to not give consent after the existing consent prompt, so that the user can explicitly decline sharing child information and billing Medical Assistance.

Please, at this time, do not restart the signature process if you can help it. There is currently a platform ticket fixing a signature issue, so at this time:

  • Explicit Decline Option: Added a clear option to explicitly decline consent following the consent prompt, allowing users to indicate they do not consent to sharing child information or billing Medical Assistance.

  • Digital Signature & Restart Behavior:

    • Without restart: Captures the response from the first signer.

    • Restart the sign:

      • After restarting, if the parent had already signed, the first parent signer response will be retained and will not be cleared if they later change their response.

  • DocuSign Integration: Consent responses captured via DocuSign do not flow data to the student profile.

  • Revision Documents: The parent's MA Program Billing consent response clears when a Revision document is created, allowing parents to reprovide consent (via digital signature or paper copy).

  • Paper Copy Signing:

    • Displays a single consent checkbox on paper copies.

    • Consent checkboxes are optional, if no checkbox is selected, finalizing the document leaves the MA consent field blank on the student profile.
