Moral - definitely not - your treatment as a long term patient should not be compromised by his business sense or lack thereof).

Ethical - borderline - patients should come before business in many situations which includes this one but that doesn't always hold true.

Tacky and uncalled for - definitely -

I hope you are on meds that are working well for you. If that is the case and you have been on them long term then your GP can prescribe the same meds for you. You don't really say if your pdoc is working with you on changing meds but I would guess that if you are only seeing him every other month that you are on a fairly stable regimen.

From the sounds of things I would also wonder if he would treat your case differently than another patient who is paying $125 per visit. If he is that hung up on the money he may not be very quick to call back if there is a problem or schedule an appt quickly. He sounds like he needs a lesson in basic human compassion and ettiquette. Maybe you should print out a copy of the Hipocrattic Oath and bring it to him. He has obviously not read it in a long time.
