What is POST? On July 1, 2007, Idaho's governor signed into law a revision to the Medicaid Consent and Natural Death Act (Idaho Code §§ 39-4501 et saq.). This change created a standardization form that allows all Idaho citizens over age 18 to express their wishes regarding how they want to be treated from a medical perspective. This form is called the Physician Orders for Scope of Treatment (POST). The POST is a doctor's order and must be signed by your doctor in order to be effective. It replaces the former Idaho Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) and Comfort One programs.
