Patient Rights
Patient rights include the right to receive appropriate medical treatment regardless of
an individual’s ability to pay for the services. Patient rights also include the right
to press litigation should the patient believe his/her treatment was not appropriate.
Patient rights also guarantee a patient’s right to seek legal recourse should a procedure
fail to meet a reasonable standard of success.
