Listen "Physical Therapy Ethics 2"
Episode Synopsis
Aiko is treating an uninsured patient who cannot afford the cost of treatment. The patient's condition is chronic and requires specialized ongoing care to manage symptoms and prevent complications. What is the MOST appropriate action for the physical therapist to take in this situation?
A. Continue with treatment as usual and ask the patient to pay what they can, even if it means reducing the frequency or duration of treatment
B. Refer the patient to a low-cost or free clinic that can provide basic care
C. Discharge the patient from treatment due to their inability to pay
D. Provide the necessary care regardless of the patient's ability to pay and work with the patient to find solutions for managing the cost of treatment
