Colleague Corner: Jim McVittie on DocuBank and LGBT Clients
In our first Colleague Corner post, Jim McVittie talks about one of the reasons he began providing DocuBank for his clients.
In my area I specialize in serving the LGBT community. The main reason I started providing DocuBank is because a large portion of my client base consists of same-sex couples as well as unmarried opposite-sex couples. I recognized that their DocuBank membership, and the documents stored therein, would be an integral part in my client’s ability to prove the legal authority of the non-ill partner to physicians and hospital staff. In addition to the health care authorization forms that I prepare for my clients, DocuBank stores my client’s domestic partnership agreements, certificate of registered domestic partnership or marriage certificate.
As a result, my clients have not had any problems with their agent’s authority being recognized. In addition, a number of our clients are medical professionals, doctors, nurses, and emergency room physicians. I’m always amazed when those medical professionals tell me they wish everyone had something like DocuBank.
