AAMA CMA Practice Question

When a physician decides to terminate an established physician-patient relationship in a non-emergent situation, which of the following actions is REQUIRED in order to avoid a charge of patient abandonment?

  • Refuse to transfer the patient's medical records until all outstanding balances are paid in full.

  • Stop all treatment and medication refills immediately on the date the decision to terminate is made.

  • Send the patient a formal written notice, documented in the chart, that specifies a future date when care will end and allows reasonable time to find another provider.

  • Unilaterally assign the patient to another physician without consulting the patient.
