Fertility Preservation Consent Form for Cancer Patients

When facing a cancer diagnosis, time is of the essence—but so is preserving your future family-building options. This Fertility Preservation Consent Form is designed specifically for oncology and fertility clinics helping cancer patients navigate the urgent, complex decision to preserve fertility before beginning treatment.

Why this form matters

Cancer treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery can significantly impact fertility. For many patients, fertility preservation—through egg, sperm, or embryo freezing—offers hope for biological parenthood after recovery. However, the window for preservation is often narrow, requiring quick decisions about medical procedures, financial commitments, insurance coverage, and long-term storage arrangements.

This template streamlines the consent process by capturing all critical information in one professional, compassionate form: treatment authorization, HIPAA compliance, insurance verification, storage fee agreements, and future use permissions. By digitizing this process with Paperform, clinics can eliminate cumbersome paperwork, reduce patient stress, and ensure legally sound documentation—all while maintaining the warmth and empathy patients need during this challenging time.

What makes Paperform ideal for medical consent forms

Healthcare providers across fertility clinics, oncology centers, and hospital systems trust Paperform for patient consent and intake because it combines clinical rigor with patient-friendly design. Unlike generic form builders, Paperform lets you create forms that feel personal and on-brand while meeting the documentation standards your practice requires.

Design forms that put patients first. Use the doc-style editor to blend clear headings, explanatory paragraphs, and consent checkboxes in a natural reading flow. Add supportive language, video explanations from your clinical team, or helpful illustrations to guide patients through complex medical and financial decisions without feeling overwhelmed.

Collect legally sound consent with full audit trails. eSignature fields ensure patients can review and sign consent documents securely, with timestamps and IP logging for compliance. Connect this form to Papersign (papersign.com) to automatically generate comprehensive consent PDFs and route them for additional signatures from partners, guardians, or clinical staff.

Automate workflows with Stepper. Use Stepper (stepper.io) to trigger immediate next steps after form submission: notify your embryology lab, update patient records in your EMR, send insurance verification requests to your billing team, schedule follow-up counseling appointments, and create storage agreements—all automatically, so your clinical team can focus on patient care rather than paperwork.

Protect patient privacy with enterprise-grade security. Paperform is SOC 2 Type II compliant and offers data residency controls, SSO, and role-based permissions to safeguard sensitive health information. While Paperform is not HIPAA compliant, it provides the security infrastructure many healthcare organizations require for pre-clinical intake and consent workflows.
