1. A power of attorney for health care is effective when executed unless the principal provides in the power of attorney that it becomes effective at a future date or upon incapacity.
2. If a power of attorney for health care becomes effective upon the principal’s incapacity, the power of attorney becomes effective upon a determination in a writing or other record by an advanced practice registered nurse, a physician, psychiatrist or licensed psychologist that the principal is incapacitated.
3. An agent named in the power of attorney for health care may act as the principal’s personal representative pursuant to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, Public Law 104-191, as amended, and applicable regulations, to obtain a determination of incapacity.
