Hi @brenb -- I responded to your question in another discussion but will just mention it again here. If it were me, I would talk with my parent and see if I could log into their patient portal for them. That would give you the means to be their advocate and allow you to let the doctors know who you are and that you are trying to help them navigate the Mayo Clinic system. Thank you for being their advocate!

Thank you so much for posting in both discussions- I appreciate it and will talk with my parent and see if i can login thru the portal to better help them.

@brenb it it's great that you want to advocate for your parent. As his caregiver, I am the main user of my husband's patient portal. As long as your parent has signed a release of information the doctor and nurses can answer all your questions. Plus, it will be helpful for you to be able to read the notes from the visits.
Blessings,
