Hello
My mother had an attorney make an "ACTIVE" Medical Power Of Attorney, that would allow me to consult with her medical providers, review all her medical records and make suggestions directly to the providers. This is what it states in the power of attorney. She had this done because she has a lot of health issues at 80, and she does not have a great understanding of the Healthcare, wereas I have worked as a hospital amdministrator/coder for over 10 years and have a great understanding of medical practice. The issue that we have run into is that the doctors do not want to honor the document, which was produced by an attorney, notorized and witnessed. Is there something else that would be a better options so that I am able to facilitate the assistance she has requested, and how do I make doctors understand that it is active at my moms request? Also doctors blatently refused to treat her if she continues to use me as an agent in this manner. Please someone provide me with a real solution.
thank you all very much
