Yes, you can be fired by a doctor or other healthcare provider. While it is illegal for a provider to dismiss you from their care for discriminatory reasons (race, ethnicity, religious practices, gender, age or disability for example), a provider may dismiss a patient for failure to pay for services, disruptive or abusive behavior towards office personnel, failure to seek or comply with treatment for substance abuse, "drug seeking" behavior, failure to comply with treatment or medical advice, frequent missing of appointments, frequent demands to be seen without an appointment for non-urgent reasons, and other behaviors disruptive to the provider-patient relationship. If a provider dismisses you from their practice, they are obligated to notify you of this in writing. They are not required to tell you specifically why the relationship has been terminated. The provider generally must give you a time frame in which to find a new provider, during which they will continue to provide care as needed, though for particularly difficult behaviors (for example: abuse of office staff or threatening to sue), they may give as little as 24 hours notice.
