Pros: This is a free medical document hosting service with one free document space for an Advance Directive.

Cons: This is a very confusing site to use. Signup requires PIN and password. The site also doesn’t explain the pricing policy beyond the one free document prior to signup. Once one file is uploaded, the user learns that the application does not yet have the ability to offer more space at this time, but when they do, the application will be fee based.

The Bottomline: There are plenty of PHRs out there that allow document uploads for free or as a part of the package. There is no need for a specific product just to store ONE file with no ability to add more or date for expansion.
