Because of HIPPA laws I cannot get any information from the doctor. Will I have acess to information being POA?

My experience is if the POA covers medical, you will have access.

If your partner is cognitive enough to give permission. If partner is cognitive it may be a good time to discuss POAs, financial and Medical. You r partners and partner yours. It will help to have them later on.

Grady, it would be up to your partner [as per your profile] to notify the doctors to place you on the HIPAA [Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act] form, so that you can get medical information.
