Ep. 266 - For Medicare, having a Power of Attorney (POA) is not enough! - a podcast by Douglas B. Jones, CLU, RHU with Randy Carson of C2C Consulting

A regular, run-of-the-mill, POA allows the guardian to make financial decisions on behalf of the person in need of assistance; but for Medicare it has no power at all. 

On the other hand, a medical POA is a durable Power of Attorney which allows the patient's proxy to enforce treatment preferences and express the wishes of the patient. 

This according to Diane Omdahl, Wisconsin Medicare expert.
