My father is catholic and doesn't believe in divorce which means although my parents haven't lived with each other for years they are legally married.
I am on their health care plan still but do not want one specific parent being able to be a health care info and be a contact for lots of reasons. Is there a way to prevent this one parent from being a contact/legal representative for health reasons?
If you are an adult for purposes of health care decision making, you can complete a health care power of attorney designating who can make decisions for you if you cannot, which you can share with your primary care provider, and you can advise your healthcare provider and insurer with whom they are authorized to share health care information. The insurance company probably has a form for that.
If you are not an adult for purposes of health care decision making, tough luck, you are stuck with what your parents decide for the most part.
