Where I live it would be considered unethical for health care professionals to request or pay referral fees. It sets up a potential conflict between the referring party's own financial interests and his/her professional obligation to the patient to refer to the most competent qualified professional who can assist with the patient's issues. I would not be interested in working with anyone who charges referral fees.
