Will medical power of attorney allow my husband to accompany me to my visits with psych nurse practitioner? she refuses him to b w/ me

It's : Really your choice. If you prefer him to be there they should allow this. If she wants to speak with you alone first. That is ok. But she should then have him in to discuss the situation.

Talk to your Doctor: First, do You really want your Spouse with you when you are being treated? Does he provide valuable feedback on your progress or do you two argue while with the Practitioner? Your treatment is for You, and unless you are deemed incompetent, your Spouse should not be involved with your therapy sessions. If you and your Spouse need Couples Therapy, get an appt. Talk to your Nurse about your case.
