Enrollee's Rights to Advance Directives Clause Samples
The Enrollee's Rights to Advance Directives clause establishes the right of individuals enrolled in a health plan or care program to create and maintain advance directives regarding their medical treatment preferences. This clause typically requires healthcare providers to inform enrollees of their rights, ensure that advance directives are documented in medical records, and honor these directives during care delivery. By doing so, it empowers enrollees to make decisions about their future healthcare and ensures that their wishes are respected, particularly in situations where they may be unable to communicate or make decisions themselves.
