Financial Coercion Limits

Meaning

Financial Coercion Limits define the ethical boundaries and regulatory constraints placed upon financial incentives or disincentives in health and wellness programs to ensure that an individual’s participation and decision-making remain voluntary and non-exploitative. In the context of hormonal health, this means ensuring that no financial pressure unduly influences a patient’s choice regarding complex, long-term, or high-cost therapies. These limits are critical for upholding the principle of informed consent and protecting vulnerable populations from economic exploitation. Maintaining these boundaries fosters a trust-based clinical relationship.
