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.

james ussery

Very organized, knowledgeable, strives to explain each and every detail. The office staff is very professional and the lady at the Lady Lake office is very polite, and is very competent. The entire staff all present themselves to be professional. I had this firm handle some business 8 years ago and was pleased with their service, I chose them this time based on past work. The lady of the hour has to be Ms. Crowe. Extremely knowledgeable and professional - patient. She knows how to steer you to the conclusion. Overall I would rate the firm at 10+. Would not hesitate to recommend BCN.
