Icbarker, What do you mean papers for medical care? Are you talking about covered insurance papers? Are you talking about a Living Will or Health care Power of Attorney? Are you speaking about giving someone authority to speak with a health insurer? Be glad to help if I can but your question isn't clear to me. |
