Advance Directives Policy and Procedure (ADM-331)

The Advance Directives Policy (ADM-331) provides comprehensive guidelines for Colorado Access members on creating and managing advance directives, including living wills and medical durable powers of attorney. It details the rights of members to document healthcare preferences when incapacitated and outlines the responsibilities of providers in honoring these directives. The policy ensures compliance with state and federal laws while promoting self-determination in healthcare decisions. Additionally, it includes educational resources for members and workforce members about advance directive options and enforcement. Regular updates to the policy will reflect any changes in relevant laws.
