What is a Healthcare Surrogate?

A healthcare surrogate, also known as a healthcare proxy, is a legal document that designates someone to make medical decisions for you if you cannot do so yourself. This person, referred to as your surrogate, will have the authority to consult with healthcare providers, access medical records, and make decisions about your treatment, including end-of-life care, surgeries, or other critical procedures.

Your designated healthcare surrogate will be responsible for:

  • Making medical decisions based on your preferences and values.
  • Consulting with doctors, nurses, and other healthcare providers about your condition and treatment options.
  • Accessing and reviewing your medical records to make informed choices.
  • Ensuring that your wishes are followed for end-of-life care, including life-sustaining treatments or palliative care.

Why You Should Consider Having a Healthcare Surrogate

Ensure Your Wishes Are Respected

By appointing a surrogate, you can communicate your preferences for medical care and ensure they are followed even if you are unable to voice them yourself.

Ease the Burden on Loved Ones

Designating a surrogate prevents confusion and conflict among family members by clearly assigning decision-making authority.

Plan for the Unexpected

Medical emergencies can happen at any time. A healthcare surrogate ensures that someone you trust can act quickly and make informed decisions on your behalf.

BCN was a God send. Although I’m married, my husband did not file. We had to go through the means test which was stressful but Ms. Carol handled it efficiently and with kindness. I never was made to feel bad for filing for bankruptcy. I was again nervous when it came time for my meeting of the creditors but again, Ms. Carol was so incredibly supportive. I should also mention that BCN is a well seasoned law firm and should you find yourself in need of their services, you will not regret your decision.

We were recently in an accident and needed an attorney. A good friend referred us to Travis Stulz and the BCN team. Travis and his Paralegal Sandy Patercsak were absolutely amazing. We felt they were very responsive and genuinely cared about us and how we were doing after the accident. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs a great attorney who really cares about their clients.

We have now used BCN Law Firm on two separate occasions and each time we dealt with Carol Crowe and neither time did she disappoint. Always friendly, professional, knowledgeable and most importantly available everytime we reached out. Also a special thanks to Isabel Freeman who was also very helpful. If you need any type of legal advice or assistance, I would not hesitate to reach out to BCN law firm.

I cannot say enough good things about Travis and his team and the way they handled my case. From the very beginning, they went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of and understood everything that was happening. They were professional, compassionate, responsive, and genuinely cared about getting the best possible outcome for me. I never felt like just another case or a number. They took the time to listen to my concerns, answer all of my questions, and keep me informed throughout the entire process. What really stood out to me was how hard they worked on my behalf. They went the extra mile when they didn’t have to, fought for what was right, and made a stressful situation much easier to deal with. I always felt like I had someone in my corner. If you are looking for an accident attorney who truly cares about their clients and is willing to go above and beyond, I highly recommend Travis. I am extremely grateful for everything they did for me and would absolutely trust them again.
