Legal Medical Power of Attorney?

Does this over ride any laws as far as a hippa form. Am having problems with my step mother putting one us on our fathers hippa form so we can at least know what his medical condition is and how severe it is. My sister has Legal Medical Power of Attorney.

As far as I know it does. Because it expresses the patients wishes. consult an attorney in your state.

It can. It depends on how it's written. Also, your father SHOULD have a Living Will as well. Your sister has the discretion to inform you. She does NOT have to tell you anything. It's up to her.
