Pain Management Doctors In Arkansas Who Have Own Office That Takes Medicaid (Page 6) (Top voted first)

Updated

I have taken methadone for about 9 yrs. and other pain medicines before that. I have chronic pain post polio syndrome, Degenerative arthritis, Degenerative disc. in back due to severe Scoliosis. New laws passed , so my Doctor stopped doing pain management, not sure why. The pain management clinics are expensive and they do not take medicaid. I need a Doctor for pain management that can prescribe pain medication, but who takes medicaid patients. The Disable and poor are out of luck now. Need Doctor from south Arkansas

How was this Jonesboro doctor?My Dr left after 4 years so I went to.one in little rock who is mean, uncaring etc. Now he's just gonna do interventional stuff no meds and shots don't help me. I've been on the same scheduled pain meds for 4+ years. So now I need a Dr again. It just never ends.

Working Strong, are you seeing a Pain Management Dr ? The drs are more selective in the patients that they write opiates for, the conditions and the dosages and other drugs. But, no one is telling them to stop prescribing them. Insurance companies have nothing to do with Medical, DEA, CDS, ect Licenses. So there is no way that insurance companies could threaten physicians with revoking them.

If a dr is responsible in how he prescribes opiates, gives patients routine drug panels, has them sign pain contracts, doesn't prescribe high doses of opiates, etc they aren't doing anything to lose their DEA and CDS License because they don't stop prescribing opiates. You say that you are an RN, but you certainly don't sound like one that has the unique view of a currently working RN.

As far as Medicaid is concerned. Senator Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) sent letters in 2010 and each year since then to a number of state medicaid programs demanding to know what the state was going to do to punish medicaid providers that were high prescribers of opiates and certain other drugs. If a dr loses the ability to accept Medicaid patients, they also lose the ability to accept Medicare patients. Losing Medicaid patients isn't much of an impact because Medicaid pays providers so little, but Medicare is much different. Senator Grassley is a Republican.
