Patient Responsibility

Patient responsibility refers to the duties and commitments a patient has when receiving healthcare. This includes providing accurate information about their symptoms and health history, following prescribed treatment plans, attending scheduled appointments, and paying any necessary fees or insurance co-pays. Being responsible also involves asking questions if unsure about treatments or instructions, and actively participating in health decisions. Overall, it’s about collaborating with healthcare providers to ensure the best possible outcomes, understanding that effective treatment depends both on medical care and the patient's engagement and compliance.
