[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 706525, member: 1233"] Please know that who can and cannot talk to the doctor is totally up to your son. Your son is living with you. It is NOT too much to ask that you be allowed to speak with all of his doctors as a condition of being allowed to live in your home. My children ALL know that a condition of living in my home is that I am on their HIPAA forms and am allowed to speak with all of their doctors. There is absolutely no discussion of this and no debate, and there never will be. Also, even if there is no way for the doctor to speak with you, you CAN speak to and write to the doctor, and the doctor CAN listen to you. You can write a letter and mail or fax it to the doctor even if you are not on the HIPAA forms. If I were you, I would tell your son that you and he were going to his doctor's office and he was going to sign a form so that you could speak to his doctor or he was going to find a new home. That you are doing this to protect him, because you love him and want the best care for him, and because you are allowing him to live in your home under your support. If he wants that to continue, he is going to go with you to his doctor's office. Otherwise he is going to go and pack. Then you will go and speak to his doctor. If you are not up to this, then write a letter and fax it to his doctor. You can get his doctor's info from google - every doctor is on there. Put whatever info you think the doctor needs to know, like the medications being so expensive, your son's current manic state, and all the other stuff your son isn't telling them. without the full info, the doctor won't be able to treat him and that is hard for doctors.
