What time does a contract between a physician and patient terminated?
A patient, who chooses to see a physician voluntarily, may terminate his/her relationship with the physician at any time. A physician may terminate with a patient, but usually has to provide at least 30 days notice, in order to allow the patient to find another physician, and to ensure no interruption in the patient's needed prescriptions and treatments. Exceptions to this may occur - such as when the patient has threatened the physician, or has been incarcerated, or has been involuntarily committed, or has abused medications inconsistent with physician's prescription instructions, etc.
