Create an advance directive Advance care planning means thinking through and talking about your healthcare wishes so you can create an advance directive. An advance directive is a legal document. It makes your healthcare wishes clear if you should become injured or sick and could not speak for yourself. Advance directives can be made for any members over 18 years of age. It will only be used when you are not able to speak for yourself about your healthcare. Presbyterian Health Plan has made the process easier with our electronic advance directive (eAD). You can fill out an eAD by going to www.phs.org/tools-resources/ patient/advance-directive. When you complete the eAD process, your document will be stored in your medical record so that it is always available to your healthcare team. You can also fill out a form and give it to your provider to keep on file. This is your healthcare, and it should reflect your personal and cultural values. To make sure that you are always at the center of your care, create an advance directive today. An advance directive form and more information is also available on Presbyterian’s website at www.phs.org/member-rights.
