Pain Management Medicaid

Please Help at Ground Zero..I live near Baton Rouge Louisiana. I am in need of Pain Management that will allow me to private pay. I receive Medicaid/united health. This pain is going to be the death of me. I have a daughter who's 12 that is now dealing with Mommy being in Pain. Its go time! Thanks so much. ## Louisiana Medicaid will not pay for a pain management Dr. ## Try the Feldman Institute in Baton Rouge. You have to have injections and procedures as well if you want medications, but he also has his own MRI machine on the property. He's a brilliant doctor, and he accepts Medicaid and Medicare. ## Tiffanie, having Medicaid when you also have Medicare is not the same as having Medicaid only. ## I am looking for a pain management doctor who takes cash...I have been in pain 25 ...

I am suffering from fibromyalgia, cervical degenerative disk disease, scoliosis, neuralgia, plantar fascia, neuropathy, which is the worst of all the pains. I am unable to work for the first time in my life leaving me to rely on medicaid being I am unmarried. I live in southern western part of Pennsylvania. I am willing to travel for treatment, Pittsburgh is about 1 1/2Hrs away, Butler, 1 Hr 15 minutes, Altoona is about 30 min. away from my home.I am in need of a competent pain management doctor, or physiatrist or internist, willing to do medications. I unfourtunately can not take nuerotin or lyrica as it contains nuerotin (sp?) as I had a severve anaphylactic allergic reaction, I also can not use voltarian cream also containing the same medication.

Wanted to introduce a wonderful clinic I had heard of for years and finally went to before Christmas. I have been treated like I am a "REAL" patient. Background for me....nurse and 25 years since my first auto accident and back surgery starting my pain management and 5 back surgeries plus many more pain medical issues. This facility is known all over and has a fabulous reputation and I am vouching for them personally...."TEXAS TYLER PAIN CLINIC"....with offices in Tyler, Longview, Lufkin and Sulfur Springs.....TexasPain.com. My old pain dr. did me a favor by dropping me and I finally had to go out of town for a Medicare/Medicaid provider with Texas Pain. The MD's are board certified in "PAIN MANAGEMENT" vs other pain MD's are usually anesthesiologist mayb...

My physiologist just informed me after 5yrs. that they would not be accepting Medicaid anymore. I don't know why, I feel like they are trying to push me out. I take Suboxone & Alprazolam. The Suboxone alone is almost $500 & Alprazolam is $130 a month. How am I, (someone who tries to live on Disability) suppose to pay for that? Even w/ my Medicare I'll still have to pay 20%. Anyone know any good doctors between Livingston and Conroe? ## I have complex regional pain sydone and nerve damage as well

Doctors thar accept medicaid in houston, tx area that prescribe oxy and morphine ## Do they really accept Medicaid? ## Hello, Lisa! How are you? I'm sorry, but there is no listing of doctors according to what they will or will not prescribe that I can refer to for you. And due to the new regulations that were put in place last year, if you require such medications on a long-term, ongoing basis, you'll need to see a specialist. Do you currently have a PCP that may be able to refer you to someone? If so, that would most likely be the easiest way to find the help you need. Can anyone suggest a good doctor in that area? ## There are no new regulations that state you must see a Pain Management Dr for chronic pain. Although it may be very difficult to find a pcp who will treat a new p...

Does anyone know of any primary care physicians in the Shreveport/Bossier City/Haughton/Minden area that do pain management? I have been going to a pain management doctor here in Shreveport for about 6 years now, but it is just getting to expensive. He refuses to to go any higher on my dosage of Oxycontin, which is 30 mg 3 times a day. And he will not give me anything for break through pain. I am on Medicaid so I have to pay him out of pocket. Medicaid pays for 60 of my oxy's, but I have to pay for the other 30. If I knew of a primary care physician that accepts does some pain management and also accepts medicaid it would be a really big help. I'd really appreciate anyone that could help me out and answer this. Thank you. ## There aren't any PCP's who do Pain Management ...

I am in bad need of a new pain management doctor in AR. I live in the Russellville area, and it is so hard to find a good pain doctor around here. I suffer from cervical dystonia with extremely painful muscle spasms. I have all my records, and MRI's. I have AR Medicaid, but it's almost impossible to find a pain doctor who takes it. If anyone could help me I sure would greatly appreciate it!!! Thanks so much!!!

I just recently visit pain managment doctor and he put me on some medication that I have been on in the past roxycodone, methadone for the break thru pain i still am in so much pain is there something new out there to try the pain is intolerable.I'm on medicaid and was told medicaid dont cover certain things can someone here in florida please advice me what to do since Ia'm new here from Alaska ## There really is nothing new as far as narcotic pain medications, you are on pretty much the strongest available with the Oxycodone in the Roxicodone. The Methadone is also very strong. And yes, it is also true that Medicaid does not cover some medications, such as the time released Oxycodone, due to the problems with abuse and diversion of it. It really sounds like your doctor is presc...

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.

Hi, my name is Sean. I have had multiple back and shoulder surgeries. My most recent back surgery was for cauda equana syndrome and my left shoulder has no cartilage left in it.

I am looking for pain relief. ## I don't know where you are, but in Milford, there's a place that's doing well called New Solutions Pain Management: (475) 882-6824.

I need a pain management doctor in the northern virginia or central virginia area that accepts medicaid and isn't scared to prescribe the necessary medications for chronic pain. ## I'm sorry, but there are no listings of doctors according to what insurance they accept, or what they will or will not prescribe that I can refer to for you. All doctors have to be very careful about what they prescribe, due to severe government regulations. If they don't, they could lose their license to practice medicine and most doctors have far too much time and money invested in their careers to be willing to do that. Do you currently have a PCP that you see regularly that could refer you to someone? If so, that would most likely be the easiest way to get the help you need.

Hi all. I need a Pain Management Doctor or a good Doctor willing to prescribe pain medication. My husband and I are both in disabling pain and can't find a Doctor that gives a care about the pain we're in. I don't want to Doctor shop or call around, they'll tell you no anyway.

I need a pain doctor or pain clinic who doesn't require a referral, takes Medicare and Medicaid, who will prescribe my Xanax 2mg, Dilaudid 8mg, Roxy 30, Soma 350mg. I have my paperwork from the hospital state to take these meds. I need someone in Atlanta Ga, or Roswell Ga, Lwrncvil Ga. ## Hello, Cindy! How are you? I'm sorry that you're in pain. As to your medications, it is doubtful that you will find one doctor that will prescribe them all. Due to the new regulations that were put in place last year, you need to see a specialist, so for that list, you'll most likely need to see a pain management specialist, as well as a psychiatrist for the Xanax. These medications carry the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dr...

I am in the process of looking for a New pain management Dr in the Gainesville, FL area that takes Avmed insurance and one that takes Prestige medicaid for my Mom. We had both been seeing same Dr for past 2 yrs and although I didn't like his obnoxious know it all attitude when you came prepared by doing your own research on your medical issues or new medication and in my case anything to help for my myofascial pain, he cuts everything down. But most recently he retaliated against my elderly Mom after we had all 3 decided on a plan of care. Then after a disagreement on a paper I brought in that would not harm my body if it failed or worked (all natural approach) he pulled two of my mom's meds and changed one. Wasn't even man enough to bring the scripts to her and tell her. Unles

I've lost all income and I now receive medicade. I live in Fort Worth, TX, and I need to find a pain management doc. The one I've been going to for 4 yrs doesn't take medicade. I've been paying cash, but it's been a struggle every month finding the money. I need to relieve my pain in order to survive! Anyway, does anyone know of a pain management accepting medicade and will be able to perscribe opioids? The one I saw at JPS wanted no opioids given and only physical therapy for my nerve pain. *sighs* Help! Pain docs in ft worth taking medicade! Jen ## Jen Ann, call your Medicaid Health Plan and ask for a Pain Management Doctor in your area. They may or may not be accepting new patients.
