Do you have a caregiving plan?

A caregiving plan can help you and your family manage your loved one’s care and make difficult decisions ahead of time.

Here’s some of the important details your plan should include:

  • Information about any health conditions your loved one has
  • Their daily routines
  • Medications they take, including their pharmacy information and who prescribes their medications
  • Your loved one’s doctors
  • Financial and legal resources
          o    Power of Attorney
          o    Living Will
          o    Will and Trust documents
          o    Funeral/memorial arrangements
          o    Social Security information

If you need help, our Family Caregiver Guide can help you get started.

Legal forms to help manage your loved one’s care

There may be times when you need access to your loved one’s health information. Your loved one will need to give us permission for you to access their personal information and make decisions on their behalf.

  • Protected health information

    Florida Blue members can authorize a loved one to have access to their claims and coverage information by submitting a Consent for Release of Protected Health Information (PHI).

  • Appoint a representative

    Florida Blue members have the right to appoint a representative who may act on their behalf in exercising his or her right during the determination of an exception, appeal, or grievance.

  • Advance directives

    An advance directive describes the kinds of medical care a person wants to have if something happens to them and they can't speak for themself. There are several types of advance directives recognized in the state of Florida, including a Living Will, a Health Care Surrogate Designation and an Anatomical Donation.

Caring for a Florida Blue member? You can register for a Florida Blue caregiver account.

With a caregiver or guardian account, you can log in to your loved one’s Florida Blue member account to view their member ID, plan documents, and more.

  • First, you will need a Welcome ID. Please ask the person you are a Guardian or Caregiver for to send you a Welcome ID. They can do this when they are logged into their Florida Blue online member account. The member must add you as a Guardian or Caregiver on their Care Team to trigger an email with the Welcome ID.
  • Your Welcome ID arrives in an email after your loved one invites you to be a Guardian or Caregiver.
  • Then, fill out your personal details here.
