Is there a specific term whereby a person diagnosing a problem chooses the most costly treatment to their own benefit. Examples would be a mechanic choosing to replace expensive parts instead of servicing a part cheaply, a chiropractor recommending intensive therapy over many weeks rather than cheap medication or a consultant charging many billable hours to investigate further rather tha providing an answer straight away.

I have asked in other forums and been told "conflict of interest" or "peverse incentive" but was once told an exact term but have since forgotten.

All assistance appreciated.
