Are your power of attorney documents up to date?  The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act requires the principal to provide a release which allows the agent that they have nominated to take care of them to receive their medical records.  This HIPAA law went into effect very recently so make sure to check your documents for this release.  All of our documents are updated to reflect this new change so make sure you’re protected and come see us soon!
