FINANCIAL, HEALTHCARE & COMPREHENSIVE, DURABLE

POWER OF ATTORNEY
XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX

I, XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX, residing in the Township of Deptford,


County of Gloucester and State of New Jersey and being of full age and
of sound and disposing mind do hereby make, constitute and appoint
my niece,XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX my true and lawful attorney-in-fact for
me and in my name and place to act on my behalf and for my benefit.
This grant of authority to my niece shall be construed and interpreted
as a general and comprehensive Power of Attorney which extends to
matters affecting me including but definitely not limited to, financial,
medical, personal or otherwise and any examples of specific authority,
rights or powers contained herein shall be by way of illustration and not
of limitation, it being my intention that my attorney-in-fact shall have
full, complete and absolute power and authority to do anything that I
might otherwise be able to do myself.

HIPAA COMPLIANCE AND RELEASE AUTHORITY

This Power of Attorney is intended to be fully compliant with the


provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of
1996, as amended (HIPAA) [Title 42 USC 1320(d) and implementing
regulations found at 45 CFR 160 et. seq.] and I regard it to be so. In
light of the hysteria that has arisen as a result of certain aspects of
this salutary law which merely seeks to be solicitous of individual
privacy, I make this statement here so that there may be no mistake
as to my wishes or intent.
I intend for my agent to be treated as I would be with respect to
my rights regarding the use and disclosure of my individually
identifiable health information or other medical records. This “release
authority” applies to any information governed by the Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended to
date or subsequent to my execution of this Power of Attorney. I
authorize: any physician, healthcare professional, dentist, health plan,
hospital, clinic, laboratory, pharmacy or other covered health care
provider, any insurance company and the Medical Information Bureau
Inc or other health care clearinghouse that has provided treatment or
services to me or that has paid for or is seeking payment from me for
such services to give, disclose and release to my agent, without
restriction, all of my individually identifiable health information and
medical records regarding any past, present or future medical or
mental health condition, to include all information relating to the
diagnosis and treatment of HIV/AIDS, sexually transmitted diseases,
mental illness and drug or alcohol abuse.
