Knowing Your Healthcare Rights and Responsibilities

Article: Knowing Your Healthcare Rights and Responsibilities 

Most Nevadans understand that the basics of effective healthcare begins with an honest assessment of genetics and environment in which they live. While a healthy diet and moderate exercise help in the process, effective healthcare goes beyond a basic understanding of these principles. In fact, effective healthcare includes a proactive approach and requires an understanding of patient, and the family’s, rights and responsibilities including: The Affordable Care Act, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, Powers of Attorney, and Health Care Directives.

Basic Healthcare Tips:

Review your Healthcare Records periodically.
Make sure your Health Care Directives, Power of Attorney, Living Wills etc. are up-to-date.
Know your Medicare and Medicaid rights.
and many more.
