Consent Letters
Consent letters allow your practice to request confirmation or acknowledgement of your terms from patients.
Administrators manage consent letters for your practice, and staff may send these documents to patients for signing.
They may be configured as follows:
- Required — the patient must sign this consent letter
- Optional — the patient may sign this consent letter if applicable
Patients can view both signed and unsigned consent letters in the patient portal.
