R, read JoAnne's post to your fiance-she is absolutely right on! Dealing with the HIPPA laws can be nightmare when you are married and the caregiver-so your situation will be even more stressful. Last week after chemo, we stopped by the hospital to pick up a copy of John's last PET scan and I had to take a permission slip out to the car for him to sign, produce my driver's liscense for them to copy[even tho I had picked one up 45 days ago and gone through the same routine AND I am listed on everything as his medical representative.] Explain to him that once the treatment gets going, neither of you needs the hassle of plowing through the regulations. Also, talk about who can deal with the Insurance Co. in his behalf if he is too sick to handle "issues". He needs to understand that he may not want these pressures over the next few months, and now is the time to address them. Amy
