Send the patient a certified letter
When a patient acts against a physicians orders, the physician is able to refuse the patient further care. The patient gives his or her opinion and if you don't follow directions they may wish to terminate your patient status.
Yes, a physician can refuse to see a long-standing patient if money is owed, but this decision must be approached with caution. Medical professionals are encouraged to prioritize patient care and consider the ethical implications of discontinuing treatment. However, if the debt impacts the physician's ability to provide care or creates financial strain, they may choose to terminate the physician-patient relationship, typically after providing notice and ensuring the patient has access to alternative care.

An Attending Physician is in charge of a particular patient's care and treatment. He/she is responsible for directing all care. In the USA, the attending physician is the same as your Primary Care Physician. However, in the US, many doctors have separated from having hospital privileges. They contract with a particular hospital physician or group of physicians to care for the attending's patients who are hospitalized. When the patient is discharged, the attending is again in charge of that patient's care (unless the two leave each other).
A physician-patient relationship typically begins when a patient seeks medical advice or treatment from a physician, and the physician agrees to provide care. This relationship is based on mutual consent and the expectation of confidentiality, trust, and professionalism between the two parties.
