Terminating the Physician-Patient Relationship
Physicians may decide to terminate the physician-patient relationship due to inappropriate behavior, noncompliance, or nonpayment. Termination should be a last resort, and attempts should be made to rehabilitate the relationship if possible. It is recommended that physicians develop a policy and procedure to have a standardized process to navigate these challenges.
