When you dismiss a medical patient from your practice for being non-complaint how long do have to care them?

There is no blanket answer to this question as the length of time you have to care for a patient after dismissing them for being non-complaint can vary depending on a number of factors, including the state in which you practice, the type of practice you have, and the specific circumstances of the patient's case.

In general, however, you are obligated to continue to provide care to a patient until they have been safely transitioned to another provider or until their medical condition has stabilized. This may mean providing them with a referral to another provider, helping them to obtain necessary medications, or providing them with instructions on how to manage their condition at home.

It is important to note that you may be held legally liable if you fail to properly transition a patient to another provider or if you do not provide them with the necessary care to stabilize their medical condition.

If you are unsure of how long you have to care for a patient after dismissing them for being non-complaint, you should contact your malpractice insurance carrier or the state medical board for guidance.
