Description
Summary:	This study sheds light on the extent to which the medical law protects patients' rights from Physician-Induced Demand behavior. This study shows that the term of Physician-Induced Demand has not been recognized in health regulations. Meanwhile, some often fail to recall that medical law has protected patients’ right in the therapeutic transaction between doctor and patient through Act No. 29 of 2004; Minister of Health Regulations number 11 Year 2017; Act No. 44 of 2009, Civil Code and Act No. 36 of 2009. In order to reduce Physician-Induced Demand, establishing a guideline of good clinical practice, including the informed-consent guideline is urgently needed. Government should also control the quality and cost of healthcare providers as well as adequate payment system for physicians.Keywords: Physician-Induced Demand; Medical Law; Legal Protection of Patient.
