Kansas City Mo Pain Medication Prescribers (Top voted first)

Updated

I am uninsured and have a referral to a pain management clinic, but cannot afford the clinic. I would like to know of any cheap doctors who would prescribe the narcotic pain medication I need to be on in the Kansas City MO area.

I have the same problem I live on carrollton outside of kc. I have no life because of pain rejected for Medicaid and to poor for insurance. I always get the same crap going anywhere them treating me like I'm a junkie. I don't even ask for meds I just go in and tell them about my back problems and o then get the cold shoulder. Personally I think every doctor should have to live in pure agony for a time so they can understand the challage

Hello Verwon, thank you for the reply. I am currently trying to get Medicaid but I know the clinics do not take Medicaid and only take cash or will reimburse (some) insurance. I do not have insurance, and am trying to get a job, but my pain and body will only let me do so much work. Money is a big issue. I did find a clinic that cost about $250 for first visit, and then $100 for every visit after that. That is actually the cheapest I have found. I was just hoping someone on here knew of a clinic that was cheaper or other options I might have.

I am also in the kc mo area, and have also been with my Dr for a few years, but we have came to a fork in the road, and she knows that I am without insurance and I simply cannot afford the extended version of my meds, and she refuses to increase the number,which my rph says is common but up to my Drand that's my issue, though I don't want to change I feel I have no other choice if I am able to find a more accommodating physician, surely you all know how hard that is, most dr don't want to write it, alone prescribe, since so many have misused pain meds, and its the ONLY WAY to treat pain, by narcotic medicine! So any help finding a. good dr that listens and cares about treatment without over scrutinizing please let me know if I can contact you...

Ask your PCP would be able to prescribe your meds and have greater flexibility if you were to be on Palliative Care. I think it’s going to become the wave of the future for persons with chronic pain. If he says yes then I’d ask him to put you on Palliative Care and see what he will prescribe you. If he says u don’t qualify them remind him you do. It is exactly made for persons like us. Make sure u bring up the difference between Palliative Care and hospice.

Hi, Kat! How are you?

I'm sorry, but under the new regulations that were put in place this year, if you require narcotic pain medications on a long-term basis to treat chronic pain, you're going to have to see a pain management specialist. PCPs are no severely restricted in what they can prescribe, how long they can prescribe it and why they can prescribe it.

Do you qualify for any type of assistance to help paying for the clinic?

I too live in Missouri. I don't go through a Pain Management doctor for my pain meds since all they really push is the expensive steroid inj's that just don't work. It's getting harder and harder to get pain meds from pain management doctors so more and more primary care doctors are prescribing pain meds. My husbands pcp and my pcp took over our pain meds. It's not true that a pcp can't prescribe pain meds. As long as they have a DEA# there are no restrictions. Now some pcp that don't want the extra paperwork involved will lie and say they can't precribe but they most certainly can if they kept their DEA#. My sister manages a pain clinic, I've had several pain doctors but I really prefer my PCP, she doesn't try and get me to just do the $1500 inj's. A PCP is a lot cheaper office visit as well.

Hi, ever since the cdc put out its opioid guidelines in spring of 2016 it is almost impossible to get pain medication prescribed. The guidelines were directed at primary care physicians and the guidelines even said do not use this at the expense of other patients well-being and quality of life but doctors and other health professionals instead of looking up the guidelines and reading them themselves are going by what they're hearing and it's absolute bullcrap! We do not allow animals to suffer the way we are allowing human beings to suffer with chronic non-malignant pain. We all have to unite and attack because that is what has happened to us. We have been attacked. We have been grouped in with the addicts and that is not in any way shape or form fair. So if they want to attack us then they're going to get an attack back. The problem is so many people feel so badly and have such a low quality of life without their medication that they cannot be proactive but we're going to have to be for anything to change. I wish I could help you but I hope this helps explain it. My best goes out to you as well as thoughts and prayers.

You MUST GET A "Pain management REFERRAL" from your doctor! THEN find a pain management clinic to FAX THE REFERRAL (this is something your doctors office must do.) the pain management clinics will help you get the injections/pain medicine/ and surgeries if needed. But you have to get a referral. If you have Medicaid there are clinics that accept that in Kansas NOT in Missouri, so I just drive over the border to my doctors office. Good luck, I hope this helps because I understand your pain and frustration.

I am on Medicaid now and dealing with similar issues. There is a pain mgmt clinic in Cameron that accepts Medicaid and Dwayne Jones also does. Jones has multiple offices but only sees Medicaid patients in Blue Valley I think.

Let me be clear on the self med part. I was being given a small dosage of w medicine that worked but in twice the dose. I consistently told them that I had to take two instead of one for them to work. That I was not making it through the month. The pain is too much not to have taken two. They ignored my complaint but the pain persists. It got so bad that finally Rx lasted two weeks instead of four. When you are in the amount of pain I was and am in you do what you can. I did what I continually told them I needed to do which was take two instead of one which made my Rx go quickly. That was my crime. I was honest about it and now I am paying the price.

Rhonda, asking if a Dr writes prescriptions for certain meds over the phone isn't going to get you a dependable answer often. It is a red flag for drug seekers.

Very few drs will prescribe more than 120 mg Morphine/Morphine Equivalent daily due to TGE new FDA Guidelines. And the drs that do, won't be doing it for long.

bonita, there are no guarantees that any dr will give you any particular prescription if you pay them cash or have insurance.
