Law Summary Virginia General Power of Attorney for Care and Custody of Child

POWER OF ATTORNEYCARE AND CUSTODY OF A CHILD OR CHILDREN

A power of attorney over a child is a document signed and notarized by a parent giving a nonparent authority to make decisions for a minor child. The power of attorney is typically used by a parent who is unavailable for a period of time and wants to grant authority to another person over their child.

The power of attorney can be used to authorize the person to obtain medical treatment for a child, to sign up a child for an activity, or for other significant decisions. The parent may also limit the purpose of the power of attorney to something very specific.

The parent granting the power of attorney can withdraw revoke the power at any time, even before the expiration date of the power of attorney. It is best that the withdrawal be in writing. The parent withdrawing the power must be sure to fill out a revocation form and deliver it to the person granted the power of attorney. The withdrawal is effective immediately upon delivery.

This form allows you to document your wishes that you do not want your organs or tissues donated after your death.

All fifty states have passed some version of the Uniform Anatomical Gift Act, generally providing that you may make a gift of your organs and tissues. Additionally, family members may generally donate your organs and tissues after your death if there is no indication you did not want to be an organ donor. The latest version of the Uniform Anatomical Gift Act provides that you can document a refusal to donate organs. Even states that do not expressly address refusal to donate documents provide that your wishes NOT to be an organ donor are to be honored at your death.

If you do not want to be an organ donor for any reason, it is recommended that you document your refusal to donate regardless of whether your state specifically provides for such a document. A documented refusal may assist others in making a donation decision that is consistent with your wishes. If you have specific questions about refusing to be an organ donor it is recommended that you contact a lawyer.

.

Use this form to state your intent to donate organs and tissues. You may also instruct that your donation be used for such purposes as transplantation, education, or research.

Organ donations are often referred to as anatomical gifts. All fifty states have passed some version of the Uniform Anatomical Gift Act, generally providing that you may make a gift of your organs and tissues during your lifetime with the gift to take effect on your death. Additionally, family members may generally donate your organs and tissues after your death if there is no indication you were opposed to such a donation. It is therefore important for you to document your wishes concerning organ donation.

This document allows you to state your wishes regarding mental health care, should you become unable to do so yourself. You can also designate someone to make mental health care decisions for you in the future.

If you wish, you can also use this document to designate another person your Agent to make mental health care decisions for you.

This document is based on recently passed laws in Pennsylvania which has specifically defined a subset of powers of attorney that address mental health. As such, it is only officially recognized in Pennsylvania. In other states, it may still be used as a way to make sure your wishes are documented and will give you a better chance that your wishes are followed in the event that you are determined incapable.

This document allows you to revoke a Mental Health Care Directive.

It is possible to revoke a declaration and power of attorney by executing a new declaration and power of attorney or by using the Mental Health Care Declaration and Power of Attorney Revocation document.

Many states specify that a document of this type may be revoked at any time and in any manner. However, the best method is to provide a written, signed and dated revocation to the Agent if any and the appropriate mental health care providers.

Note In many states, the revocation document may be considered ineffective until your Agent and/or physician/psychiatrist have been notified of the revocation.

This letter can be used to report a hospital or other medical facility for suspected fraud in billing or inappropriate treatment methods.
If you suspect that your doctor, hospital or other health care provider is performing unnecessary or inappropriate services or is billing Medicare for services you did not receive, you should report such fraud or abuse immediately to the Medicare carrier or intermediary who handles your claims.

If the Medicare carrier or intermediary does NOT adequately respond to your letter reporting Medicare fraud or abuse, you may send this letter to HHS Tips, P.O. Box 23489, Washington, D.C. 20026.
If you prefer to make your complaint by telephone, the tollfree Hotline number is 18004478477. This number is staffed from 800 a.m. until 530 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, Monday through Friday.

You should ONLY write or phone the Hotline if you have NOT received a satisfactory response from the Medicare carrier or intermediary.

This letter is used to allow a Medicare recipient to advise the Peer Review Organization PRO about the quality of care received during a hospital stay or to request a review of a written Notice of Noncoverage that Medicare will no longer pay for hospital care.

Peer Review Organizations PRO's are groups of practicing doctors and other healthcare professionals who review the reasonableness, medical necessity, appropriateness, and quality of hospital care given to Medicare patients. PRO's primarily review complaints from beneficiaries and their representatives regarding Medicare Part A benefits. PRO's have the authority to deny payments if care is not medically necessary or not delivered in an appropriate setting.

PRO's process complaints in one of two ways 1 concurrently while the patient is still in the medical facility receiving services; or 2 retrospectively after the patient has been discharged from the facility and is no longer receiving services. Whether the review is concurrent or retrospective, the timing of a PRO's review begins when a complaint is received in writing from a beneficiary or their representative and when the PRO has adequate information to begin the review e.g. received medical records.

The PRO's must then acknowledge receipt of the complaint. This can be done either in writing or orally. For concurrent review, the PRO's must acknowledge receipt of the complaint within one full working day from receipt. The PRO's have five calendar days to acknowledge receipt for retrospective review.

Whether or not the reviewing PRO identifies any quality concerns during retrospective review, the PRO's completed review or notice must be sent to the medical provider within 15 calendar days after receipt of the medical records. Whether or not the reviewing PRO identifies any quality concerns during concurrent review, the PRO's completed review or notice must be completed and sent to the medical provider within one full working day after receipt of the medical records.

When a patient is admitted to a Medicare participating hospital, the patient receives a publication entitled AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM MEDICARE. It explains the patient's rights as a hospital patient and provides the name, address, and phone number of the PRO for that patient's state. Carefully read the description of the time frames in which you must take action depending upon various circumstances. Failure to make your appeal within the specified time frames may impact the portion of your hospital stay for which you will be responsible for paying.

This letter is used to request Medicare review its decision to deny a Part B Medicare Claim.

Medicare consists of two parts. Part B Supplemental Medical Insurance covers physician's services, certain outpatient hospital services including emergency room visits, ambulances, diagnostic tests, laboratory services, certain preventive care services such as mammography and pap smear screening, outpatient therapy services, durable medical equipment and supplies, and home health care services not covered by Part A.

Medicare Part B pays 80 of approved charges for most covered services. The beneficiary is responsible for paying a 100 deductible each calendar year as well as the remaining 20 of the Medicare approved charges. The beneficiary may have to pay additional charges if the doctor providing the care does not agree to Medicare's approved charges.

Medicare Part B is a voluntary program and is partially financed through monthly premiums, deductions, and coinsurance payments. The balance is funded by the federal government.

This document provides a letter to request that Medicare review its decision on a Part B claim. Doctors, suppliers, and other providers of Part B services submit claims directly to Medicare. The provider will charge you for any part of the Part B deductible that you have not met and any coinsurance payments that you owe.

A written notice, such as a Notice of Noncoverage, from your doctor is not an official Medicare determination that Medicare will not consider a particular service reasonable or necessary and will not pay for it.

Ask your doctor to submit a claim for payment to the Medicare carrier to obtain an official Medicare decision.

If you disagree with a decision on the amount Medicare will pay on a claim or whether services you received are covered by Medicare, you have the right to appeal the decision. The first step in the appeal process is to ask for a review of the decision. Many times the initial determination fails to sufficiently explain the reasons for the denial. By asking for a reconsideration or review, the basis for denial will be clarified.

Your appeal can be processed much more quickly if you include a copy of the notices that you received about your claim. If you do not attach a copy of the Explanation of Medicare Benefits form to your appeal letter, you will need to describe the services, provide the name of the service provider, and indicate the date the services were provided.

This review must be requested by the patient in writing WITHIN SIX MONTHS after the date of the initial decision. This period can be extended upon a showing of good cause. You must request the review in writing and file it at an office of the carrier, the Social Security Administration, or the Health Care Financing Administration HCFA office. The address and phone number of the organization to contact regarding your appeal is contained on the notice informing you of the decision made on your request for payment.

You will receive a written response of the review explaining the reasons for the decision and advising you of your right to a hearing and how to request it. If you disagree with the review determination, AND if the amount in question is at least 100 but less then 500, then you have SIX MONTHS after the date of the review determination to request a hearing before the carrier's hearing officer. This period can be extended upon a showing of good cause. If you are considering requesting a hearing, you should contact your local social security office or your personal attorney regarding your appeal as soon as possible. Additional appeals are available and it is important that you carefully observe the time limit for requesting each appeal step.

You may also be able to request a review by telephone. Contact your local social security office for more information.

This letter is used to request that Medicare reconsider its initial decision on a Part A claim.

Medicare consists of two parts. Part A hospital insurance covers hospital care, limited posthospital skilled nursing facility care, parttime home health services, and hospice care. If you are 65 years old or over, you can receive Medicare Part A insurance without having to pay a premium if you are currently receiving or eligible to receive but have not yet filed for either Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits or if you or your spouse had Medicarecovered employment by the government. If you are under 65, you can receive Medicare Part A insurance without having to pay a premium if you have received either Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits for twentyfour 24 months or if you are a kidney transplant or kidney dialysis patient.

Deductibles and coinsurance amounts must be paid by the Medicare beneficiary.
Medicare measures the amount of covered hospital care and skilled nursing care in benefit periods. A benefit period begins on the first day you receive care and terminates after you have been out of the hospital or skilled nursing facility and have not received care in any other facility for 60 consecutive days. Medicare does not limit the number of benefit periods any one beneficiary can have. Beneficiaries are entitled to a lifetime reserve of 150 days of inpatient services.

Medicare Part A covers 90 days of inpatient hospital care for each benefit period. If you need skilled nursing or rehabilitative services after a hospital stay and meet certain conditions, Medicare Part A helps pay for up to 100 days in a participating skilled nursing facility for each benefit period. For the first 20 days in a participating skilled nursing facility, Medicare pays for all approved charges. You must pay a coinsurance amount for the 21st day through the 100th day.

If you qualify, Medicare pays for all approved costs of covered home health care services. You will have to pay a 20 coinsurance charge for certain medical equipment, such as a wheelchair or a walker.
The terminally ill Medicare beneficiaries who select the hospice care benefit are not required to pay deductibles but are required to pay a limited amount for certain drugs and inpatient respite care.

This document provides a letter to request that Medicare reconsider its decision on a Part A claim. Providers of Part A services submit claims for their services directly to Medicare. The provider will charge you for any part of the Part A deductible that you have not met and any coinsurance payments that you owe.

You will receive a determination explaining the decision that Medicare has made on the claim. If you have received a Notice of Noncoverage, this is not an official determination. Ask your provider to submit your claim so that you can receive a determination from Medicare explaining the noncoverage of the claim.

If you disagree with a decision on the amount Medicare will pay on a claim or whether services you received are covered by Medicare, you have 60 days after receipt of the initial determination, which is presumed to be five days after the date of the initial determination notice, to request a reconsideration. There are procedures to establish good cause for filing a late request for reconsideration. The first step in the appeal process is to ask for a reconsideration of the decision. The initial determination contains the address and phone number of the organization to contact about your appeal.

You will receive a written response of the reconsideration that explains the reasons for the decision. If you disagree with the reconsideration of the decision, AND if the amount in question is 100 or more, then you have 60 days from the date you receive the reconsideration notice to request a hearing with an Administrative Law Judge.

If you are considering such a request, you should contact your local social security office or your personal attorney regarding your appeal as soon as possible. Additional appeals are available and it is important that you carefully observe the time limit for requesting each appeal step.

You may also be able to request a reconsideration by telephone. Contact your local social security office for more information.

This authorization is used by a parent to authorize a child care provider, parent, or other responsible person to obtain medical treatment for a child.

The Medical Treatment Authorization for a Minor document is used by a parent to authorize a child care provider, parent, or other responsible person to obtain medical treatment for a child. For example, if a parent will be separated from a child for a few days or even a few hours, the parent may wish to give the care provider some medical instructions and the authority to obtain at least emergency medical treatment.

In addition to granting the authority to obtain medical treatment, this document also allows you to provide information regarding a physician, a preferred hospital, health insurance, and medications. It is also recommended that you provide contact information for the parents.

This document provides a form for you to authorize the transfer of medical records from one health care provider to another.

Medical records contain highly private and personal information and are considered confidential. Patients generally have the right to their own medical information and the right to control who else has access to their records. Therefore, with certain exceptions, medical information can only be released with the written authorization of the patient or the patient's authorized representative. This document can be used to provide the necessary authorization. Under rare circumstances, a health care provider may restrict the release of medical records to the patient if the release could be harmful to the patient or others.

Most states recognize that the actual medical records are the property of the health care provider who compiles, stores, and maintains the information. Typically, then, only copies of medical records are released and the health care provider maintains the original record. Providers can charge a fee for copying the records but should not deny the release of medical records because the patient has outstanding medical bills.

Many health care providers have very specific procedures regarding the release of medical records because of confidentiality concerns and the special protection afforded certain types of records such as HIV, mental health, and substance abuse information. Although this form specifically addresses certain types of records, providers may require you to use their specific form to authorize the release of records. Therefore, it is possible that a provider will not honor this form.

THIS FORM IS NOT INTENDED TO BE USED FOR THE RELEASE OF MEDICAL RECORDS FOR LITIGATION PURPOSES. Contact your lawyer if such a release is needed.

This document allows you to revoke a Living Will and withdraw any instructions about lifesustaining procedures that you may have given in a Living Will.

A Living Will may generally be revoked by executing a new Living Will or by using the Revocation of Living Will. Many states specify that a Living Will may be revoked at any time and in any manner. However, the best method is to provide a written, signed and dated revocation to the Agent if any and the appropriate health care providers.

Although other documents require a witness or notary, legal principles encourage the recognition of a revocation without the necessity of such formalities.

Note In many states, the revocation document may be considered ineffective until your Agent and/or physician have been notified of the revocation.

This letter can be used to request a referral to a specialist for medical care.

When a patient's family physician cannot provide a medical treatment, the patient may wish to see a specialist. This document allows you to request that your primary care physician i.e. your family physician refer you to a specialist. Your physician may ask that you come in for an appointment before he or she makes the referral. Alternatively, your physician may suggest that you see a specialist without you requesting him or her to do so.

Nearly every insurance company and managed care organization has its own policy regarding referrals to specialists. For example, many health care plans require a patient to obtain a referral from his or her primary care physician before seeing a specialist. Additionally, some specialists will not see a patient without a referral.

However, in some instances, a referral may not be necessary. For example, many companies or managed care organizations allow a woman to visit a gynecologist for an annual exam without a referral. This should be explained in your insurance policy or other benefits information.

This letter is used to submit a claim for health care services to a managed care organization, such as a HMO, or to a health care insurance company.

This letter is used to appeal a denial of a medical claim by a managed care organization such as a HMO or an insurance company or to seek more information about a denial.

When a managed care organization such as a HMO or an insurance company denies part or all of your claim, you should receive an explanation for the denial. This notice should contain the address and phone number of who you can contact with questions. Additionally, your general policy or benefits information should provide information on what to do in the case of a denial.

If you have received a denial letter or Explanation of Benefits letter from your insurance company regarding a claim you previously filed, use this letter to provide additional information and request that your claim be reconsidered.

If your insurance company has denied your claim, you should have been sent an Explanation of Benefits EOB. Read this document carefully to determine the reason for the denial. Your insurer may simply be requesting more information about your claim. If so, gather the necessary information and resubmit your claim.

If the EOB is not simply asking for additional information, then you should contact the insurance company either by phone or in writing regarding the denial of your claim. The address and phone number of the insurance company should be listed on the EOB. Be sure to include your account number and any other important information that might help with the processing of your claim.

If you phone the insurance company, be sure to write down the name of the person you spoke with. This information is important for future communications with the insurer.
After you have learned the reasons for the insurance company's denial of your claim, you should resubmit your claim, attaching additional information to address each of the insurance company's concerns.

If the insurance company continues to deny your claim AND you think that they are wrong, then you can contact your State Insurance Department.

This guide provides information about prehospital donotresuscitate DNR programs. DNR programs authorize emergency responders to withhold certain medical treatment, such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Emergency responders in the community, similar to physicians and nurses in a hospital, generally have a duty to provide emergency treatment such as CPR cardiopulmonary resuscitation when responding to an emergency. However, some individuals do not want to be resuscitated.

Over onehalf of the states have passed legislation or regulations that provide a prehospital DNR program by which a physician's DNR order can be honored outside of the hospital setting. This program provides information on such programs.
