Alabama Advance Directive Form

I worked at the Call Center for the Affordable Care act on first and second enrollment.Honestly most of my job was fine, I signed up the better part of 18'000+ people in the two years. Only once did I get a call from a person that could not afford health care that actually got fined. (That was mostly because he seemed to have massively over extended his money)But it was very difficult getting calls from people in states that did not expand Medicaid. Because I had to tell them they would not get health care, and could not get help paying for health care. (Because they should have been covered under Medicaid) And many where convinced they would be fined for not having medical care. (They would not, you are exempt it the cheapest care will cost more then 8% of your income)My worst call. (I will cut out and collapse some of it, it was a 90+ min Call)Me: "Welcome to the health care market place, my Name is William Moore how can I help you today."Caller: "Ya that N*GG*R Said I had to get insurance and I got this number to call."-At this point I should make a note, I am a man with a not so light Kentucky Accent, this called was a man with a not so light Alabama Accent, and sounded to be a older man-Me: -Long pause- "Sir are you referring to the President?"Caller: "Ya! That N*GG*R."Me: -Long Pause- "Sir I would love to help you with your health care, but I'm going to have to ask you to please stop using that kind of language."Caller: -Stars crying openly over the phone- "I'm sorry, I just don't know what to do. I don't have any money, I live by my self. I can't afford Insurance and I can't pay a fine, I don't want to go to jail."Me: -I had to spend the next 15 minutes calming him down by telling him that I was going to help him, and I was not going to hang up or even go home before I helped him."Me: "Sir I'm very sorry but your state has not expanded medicaid so you won't be covered. But you don't make any money to your income is $0. Eight percent of Zero is Zero. So you are exempt, you don't have to pay a fine."Caller: "They're gonna throw me in jail!"Me: "NO Sir, no one is going to throw you in Jail."Caller: "But they said they were gong to!"Me: -Frustrated pause- "Who? Who Said that?"Caller: "The News."Me: -Flabbergasted sound- "WHAT news?" -Pause- "Don't Answer that sir, I don't need to know or care. Let me read you the law sir."Me: -I spent the next 15 minutes reading the exemption part of the law word for word for the man, and finally convinced him that he was fine. Then directed him to a local library, which I called and asked to help him fill out a exemption form... which he did not have to do, but I wanted him to have the piece of paper to make him feel better. I Then directed him to a local hospital program so he could have yearly checkups-Caller: -The whole call ended with him thanking me, and apologizing again, saying that he didn't hate the president and he didn't mean to call him those things, But he was just so frightened and mad.-There you go.

What is the best way to fill out an advance health care directive for a peaceful death ) ie stop fluids, stop food etc)?In New Zealand these are called living wills. Although living wills have no legal status they will be an indication of the person’s wishes.Two suggestions: that apply in NZliving will - get your lawyer to draft a living will. Tell your family, your doctor and any other medical people; andtattoo - some older people are having - DNR ie do not resuscitate tattooed on their chest.Best wishes

In the US, you only have to be competent to make out Advanced directives.. Competent is a legal term indicating that you are capable of making your own decisions. You can certainly be healthy to do so, and all people should consider doing so.Advanced directives are interesting because they only gain legal force when you are not competent. Whenever you regain your ability to make decisions, they have no more power any more, unless you again lose your ability to make decisions.Advanced directives can take on different forms. Most states have so called “living wills”. These are a special kind of advanced directive spelling out specific preferences, usually about specific life prolonging interventions, under very specific circumstances. These were some the first advanced medical directives to gain legal standing and popular attention. A lot of people still use Living Will and Advanced Directives, as interchangeable terms. However, Living Wills are only one type of advanced directives, and are very limited in scope.Another common form of advanced directive is the Durable Medical Power of Attorney. These are much broader and useful documents. I have seldom seen Living Wills be useful in practice, but Durable Medical Powers of Attorney can make things easier for the patient, the doctors, and the family alike.What the Durable Medical Power of Attorney does is designate a person or persons to make medical decisions for you if you are unable to do so yourself. The document might include some specific instructions, or may not. The reason that they are so useful is two fold. The big thing is that they clear up to everyone who is in charge. In medicine, the patient is always in charge as long as he is capable of making and communicating decisions. When he can’t do that, who calls the shots? Well, some states spell that out in law, but that might not reflect the real dynamics of a family, and people will disagree, or not want the burden. This not only can make things hard for the doctors, who need permission or guidance to do their jobs, but can cause all sorts of family troubles, with children and siblings and others all having an opinion on what is best, and a lot of worries about making hard and terrible decisions. With the document, all that is cleared up ahead of time.But the biggest reason that Durable Medical Powers of Attorney are so helpful to all concern is that people talk about them. The patient chooses their own power of attorney according to preference. But before you list Aunt Ida as your Medical Power of Attorney, you will ask her. Then you will find out if Ida really wants that responsibility. And you will also need to talk to Ida about the kind of things you want or do not want. She will probably know you, and your values. Real life medical decisions are complicated and impossible to list completely in advance. But Ida will have a decent idea of what you do or don’t want, and will be able to represent your interests to the doctor. And all the other family members will know that she is who you wanted to make those decisions. It lifts so many burdens.It isn’t always easy to make medical decisions for another person, especially a person you love and care about. They can be life and death. People struggle with these sorts of ideas and might have strong opinions of their own. However, I always make it clear to those designated with Medical Power of Attorney that their job is not to figure out what is right in their own eyes. Their job is to tell me and other health care providers what the patient would want if he was able to talk to us. Their job is to keep the patient and his or her wishes front and center, as it should be.Like I said at the beginning, you can be healthy and make advanced directives. You never know what the next day will bring, so there isn’t a bad time. I think the Durable Medical Power of Attorney is a particularly good document for a young, healthy individual. It just designates someone you want to make decisions for you when you can’t, and it is only in effect when, and for as long as, you are unable to make your own decisions. As long as you keep up with your designee and still want them to be your power of attorney, you can “update” your wishes as often as you and your designee talk about such things. This is the way that people generally want to take care of their lives. The document just helps protect that desire in law from the hardship and heart ache of serious illness.

NOOOOOOO. You are talking to a military romance scammer. I received an email from the US Army that directly answers your question that is pasted below please keep reading.I believe you are the victim of a military Romance Scam whereas the person you are talking to is a foreign national posing as an American Soldier claiming to be stationed overseas on a peacekeeping mission. That's the key to the scam they always claim to be on a peacekeeping mission.Part of their scam is saying that they have no access to their money that their mission is highly dangerous.If your boyfriend girlfriend/future husband/wife is asking you to do the following or has exhibited this behavior, it is a most likely a scam:Moves to private messaging site immediately after meeting you on Facebook or SnapChat or Instagram or some dating or social media site. Often times they delete the site you met them on right after they asked you to move to a more private messaging siteProfesses love to you very quickly & seems to quote poems and song lyrics along with using their own sort of broken language, as they profess their love and devotion quickly. They also showed concern for your health and love for your family.Promises marriage as soon as he/she gets to state for leave that they asked you to pay for.They Requests money (wire transfers) and Amazon, iTune ,Verizon, etc gift cards, for medicine, religious practices, and leaves to come home, internet access, complete job assignments, help sick friend, get him out of trouble, or anything that sounds fishy.The military does provide all the soldier needs including food medical Care and transportation for leave.

I can't say whether you would be contractually obligated. It's a very good idea to complete the survey and send it in as the carrier may put claims processing on hold for you until it receives your updated information. This means your providers won't get paid and when they don't get paid it's you they will be looking for.The insurance company sends these questionnaires because when someone has more than one form of insurance the different carriers take on roles — primary, secondary, tertiary, etc. The primary carrier pays first according to the terms of the policy. The secondary company will pay second, but they will only consider what's left after the primary pays.For example, let's say your ER visit was $2000. Your deductible is $1000 with the primary carrier and the primary insurance pays $1000.Your deductible with the secondary insurance is only $500. The secondary carrier is now looking at a bill for $1000. They pay $500.In the end, you paid $500, primary paid $1000, and secondary paid $500.If you only gave the provider information on your secondary insurance, they would be billed that while $2000 (as the ER wouldn't know about your other coverage). The secondary carrier, knowing they're second, will insist it's sent to the primary carrier for payment first.If they don't know there's a primary carrier, this becomes a very different financial situation for them — instead of $500, they pay $1500! That's your full bill less the $500 you pay out of pocket.Not knowing about the primary carrier just cost the secondary insurance an additional $1000.It's for this reason that they keep sending you questionnaires, and for this reason that they could hold off on processing your claims if you don't respond. In the end their goal is to save as much money as possible by making sure that they don't pay anything for which they aren't liable.

I was selected for a summer internship 2016.I tried to be very open while filling the preference form: I choose many products as my favorite products and I said I'm open about the team I want to join.I even was very open in the  location and start date to get host matching interviews (I negotiated the start date in the interview until both me and my host were happy.) You could ask your recruiter to review your form (there are very cool and could help you a lot since they have a bigger experience).Do a search on the potential team.Before the interviews,  try to find smart question that you are going to ask for the potential host (do a search on the team  to find nice and deep questions to impress your host). Prepare well your resume.You are very likely not going to get algorithm/data structure questions like in the first round. It's going to be just some friendly chat if you are lucky. If your potential team is working on something like machine learning, expect that  they are going to ask you questions about machine learning, courses related to machine learning you have and relevant experience (projects, internship). Of course you have to study that before the interview. Take as long time as you need if you feel rusty. It takes some time to get ready for the host matching (it's less than the technical interview)  but it's worth it of course.

There are two main types of advance directive \u2014 the \u201cLiving Will\u201d and the \u201cDurable Power of Attorney for HEvalth Care.\u201d

Creating advance directives need to be in writing. Each state has different forms and requirements for creating legal documents. Depending on where you live, a form may need to be signed by a witness or signed. You can ask a lawyer to help you with the process, but it is generally not necessary.

If a patient cannot make decisions and has created no advance directive, hEvalth care providers traditionally have turned to family members for treatment decisions. A close family member is allowed to exercise \u201csubstituted judgment\u201d on behalf of the patient.

If a patient cannot make decisions and has created no advance directive, hEvalth care providers traditionally have turned to family members for treatment decisions. ... He or she (or they) can make virtually any hEvalth care decision that you could make yourself if you were competent.

Get the living will and medical power of attorney forms for your state, or use a universal form that has been approved by many states. ... Choose a hEvalth care agent. ... Fill out the forms, and have them witnessed as your state requires.
