Excessive prescribing Clause Samples

The "Excessive prescribing" clause is designed to prevent healthcare providers from prescribing medications or treatments in quantities or frequencies that exceed accepted medical standards or patient needs. In practice, this clause may set clear guidelines or thresholds for what constitutes excessive prescribing, and may require regular audits or reviews of prescription patterns. Its core function is to promote responsible medical practice, reduce the risk of medication misuse or abuse, and help control healthcare costs by discouraging unnecessary or inappropriate prescriptions.
