Member’s Refusal of Procedures or Treatment. Certain Members may, for personal reasons, refuse to accept procedures or treatment recommended by Participating Physicians. Physicians may regard such refusal to accept their recommendations as incompatible with the continuance of the Physician/patient relationship and as obstructing the provision of proper medical care, and the Physician may terminate his provider relationship with the Member. If a Member refuses to accept the medical treatment or procedure recommended by the Participating Physician and if, in the judgment of the Participating Physician, no professionally acceptable alternative exists or if an alternative treatment does exist but is not recommended by the Participating Physician, the Participating Physician will advise the Member accordingly.
