A question about : How to Give Doctor Permission to Talk to OH on my Behalf?

I've tried Googling but feeling a bit confused.
I need to give my doctor permission to discuss any of my medical issues/medication but I'm not sure how to go about it. I assume I just write a letter and drop it in but could anyone tell me how to word it?

Many thanks title=Smile

Best answers:

  • Write a letter of authorization to hand over to the receptionist, ask them to scan it into your notes, add the paper copy to your Lloyd George notes and flag it on their system.
  • Just write what you've written to us. Sign and date it and leave a contact phone number just in case they want to verify. Maybe put your date of birth on it also.
    If its your husband it shouldn't be a problem.
    Its a good starting point anyhow and they will take it from there.
    I hope all is well
  • I totally agree .... it's also wasted man hours, paper ink etc, they said electronic notes would make patient records easier to access when in fact it just doubles the work.
  • I am seriously thinking of paying for private healthcare monthly when I'm older.
    42 at the moment and can't afford it but I do worry about when I'm older.
    It would cost me a fortune though as like my ciggies
    I smoke amber leaf and it costs me next to nothing as my dad gets it from all his pensioner mates that go abroad
    And I like my wine three times a week
    Who's going to insure me?
    I do have an electronic ciggie now just have to take it out the packet and use it!
    I wonder how much it would cost for bupa or whoever? I will be healthy by fifty and sign up i think

    I am 53 and my company pay around Ј1400 per year for my Healthcare cover ( I pay tax on this figure) and as it's a company scheme they disregard previous medical history. On a personal Private health quote don't expect them to disregard heath history it could be very expensive if you have had bad health in the past.
