Directivas anticipadas


Directivas anticipadas

An advance directive is a set of written steps you want taken when you are too sick to make decisions about your health care. It says what you want or do not want.

You should talk about your wishes with your provider, family and friends. 

¿Qué son las directivas anticipadas para la atención médica? 

Según la ley federal y del estado de New Mexico, usted tiene derecho a elaborar una directiva anticipada. This document lets you say exactly how you wish to be treated if you are too sick to make health care decisions. Una directiva anticipada les ayudará al médico y a su familia a tomar decisiones sobre su atención médica. You can also name someone to make your health care decisions. That person, called a surrogate or an agent, has the right to refuse or stop treatment for you in some cases.

An advance health directive may also be called, mental health advance directive, psychiatric advance directive or PAD, living will, durable health care power of attorney and/or durable mental health care power of attorney. 

UnitedHealthcare Community Plan polcy is to inform members that they can create advance health care directives. State and federal laws require hospitals, nursing homes, and other providers to tell you about advance directives and explain your legal choices about medical decisions. These laws are intended to ensure that your wishes are taken into account when you may not be able to express them. 

UnitedHealthcare Community Plan sigue las regulaciones de la Ley sobre Decisiones de Tratamiento de Atención Médica para la Salud Mental [24-7B-1 NMSA 1978] y la regulación federal 42 CFR 489 subparte I y 42 CFR 422.128. 

¿Cómo obtengo una directiva anticipada? 

Contact Member Services or your Care Coordinator at 1-877-236-0826. Llame al TTY 711 si tiene dificultades del habla o de la audición.
