Gag clauses are provisions in physicians' contracts which prevent them, explicitly or implicitly, from giving patients information about treatment options that may not be covered by their health plans, even if these treatments are safe, effective, and necessary. Gag clauses also may prevent physicians from referring very sick patients outside their health plans to physicians with rare expertise in the types of care needed.

Ok, but I was under the impression that some of medicine is for FREE (believe it or not), so if there is a rare treatment somewhere you being the big doc is suppose to somehow finance it.
